Editing

The programme we used to edit the film was Windows Movie Maker; the reason we used this particular programme was because I had experience of working with it. We had started off using Adobe Premiere, but I felt this programme was unnecessarily complex for my needs. I have made many short films on Movie Maker which people have given positive feedback to. At first after we had got all our clips, we put them in the order we wanted them to be presented in; after putting the clips in an agreed order, we decided we needed titles in between them, with words that linked the clips together. Once we were happy with the written titles and film clips, we needed music to complete the atmosphere of the trailer. We asked my brother to make a music piece using a computer programme called "Magic Music Maker 7"where he was able to combine instruments to make the main composition. He firstly copied the video so he knew what he had to compose music to, and played the video while he composed the music so he knew whether it would fit or not. We had told him roughly the feel,pace and tone that we felt would complement the trailer. It was then complete. Our trailer is 2 and a half minutes long; although we thought at first it was a bit too long for a trailer,when we looked on Youtube we found many trailers of similar length. Examples are trailers for films such as "Public Enemies", "The Dark Knight" and "The Crazies".

Our Interview

Here is a list of questions we are going to ask pupils in the Sixth Form at William Parker School; our target audience is between 15 - 24, as our film's certification is '15', so there is no point asking younger children as they would not be allowed to watch it, and it is dificult to believe anyone older than that would want to watch a horror film based on teenagers, as they might not be able to relate to the story. The aim of these questions is to find out the pupils' opinions of our film trailer, film poster and film magazine, and having got their views we would know what we would need to improve or change.
