Drafting and planning

This is another edit of some raw footage which features two of the sound effects from this blog post <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mm6eL739yOg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>.

Although a few more shots would occur before this in the real trailer, i feel this is a good representation of the atmosphere i want to create at the start of my trailer, something thats eerie, serious and of course, dramatic.

This helps me portray my genre well straight form the off and helps build tension amongst my target audience, who, as mature adults, would become intrigued by such a mysterious opening and would continue watching the trailer and then the film, to satisfy their curiosity.

By using editing techniques learnt through this research https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3664132413503481447#editor/target=post;postID=3926650306597559060;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=38;src=postname i was able to use fades and cut to blacks effectively with the sound effects to build suspense without having to use copyrighted music.

 By using sound and editing, it allowed me to convey messages without dialogue which would someone explain what's happening, instead the audience figures it out for themselves

For example, the fast paced editing conveys the idea that the protagonist is in a rush i.e. there is something wrong meanwhile the dramatic pangs suggest danger and the metallic climax that's built up implies something even more serious, death - the death of the granddad.
