Trailer Progress Part 3





We also decided to add stills in our trailer also. This made the trailer seem much more professional. Imovie was also helpful for this, as it enabled us to add text frames inbetween certain parts in our trailer, helping our trailer to run smoothly and adding tension to our audience as they watch the trailer. The writing I used pictured above in the second frame was one which I downloaded from www.dafont.com This website was very helpful as it gave me an option of horror fonts to choose from. This font adds effect to our trailer and fits well with the genre of the movie. 



Trailer Progress Part 2



Once we had chosen what parts of filming we wanted the most, we were then able to make them either shorter or longer which is shown above, this helped us greatly as most clips just went on for far to long and wasted lots of time. We were also able to put breaks in between each scene, helping our trailer to run smoothly between each frame. We were also able to edit each scene, for example put the contrast down or turn the frame into black and white, this was very effective as some scenes we shot in the daytime, but by doing this it helps the scene to look much more dark and scary. Some scenes we were also able to make slower or faster. The scene were our main character walks backwards along a log, was made more faster and also reversed, which added great effect to our trailer making the character seem out of control. This also helped it seem much more realistic. Pictured below our some tools which helped us to achieve this.



Trailer Progress Part 1


We first of all added all of our filming on to Imovie. By doing this we could see all that we had filmed and take out the certain frames in which we wanted to work on the most. Imovie was very good for this as you could just use whatever filming you wanted and you could cut out the rest. After we decided what parts of filming we wanted, we could then start to edit each part and work on them individually.
When designing our trailer, We decided to use the software Imovie from an Apple Laptop. This has been very helpful and effective as we have been able to edit our clips to make them as effective as we want them. We have been able to add sounds and certain elements to our Trailer which would not be possible if we used another Software.

2-Day diary entry of our Filming


Before filming our trailer, We came up with a basic list of Props we will need in order to film our trailer, We done this so that we would not have to waste time going back and forth if we forgot something. This ended up being very helpful as we would look at this list before we went out filming, ensuring we had everything ready. We would call out everything on this list before we got in the car. This ended up being very reliable.
Before the making of our movie '6 Six 6' we put together a story board, We done this so that it would help us when filming our trailer, so that we know what parts to film and when to film them. By doing this it will also give us a good Idea on how our trailer will come together.


We also came up with a drawing of our main character in our movie, we done this in order for us to have an idea of what we wanted our character to look like and also the effect she would have on our movie. We also came up with a basic summary of our movie and a list of the main characters, giving us something to look at and to follow as we make our trailer. We also came up with a picture of the setting we are hoping to achieve when filming our trailer.
