Editing

We're now very much established in the editing stage of production. We're using the software on the macs called imovie which is a very flexible programme allowing us to edit clips and put in transitions and effects quite easily. We've been experimenting with the effects we can create and for the transitions in particular we have taken inspiration from research, precisely from my research into the 'taken' trailer and the flashbulb transitions which I found very effective for this genre and style, as well as experimenting with our own editing ideas.
The trailer is now almost complete, however it does need to be cut down to comply more closely with the conventions of the shorter teaser trailers. We aim to make it about 1 minute long, to contain enough of the shots we like to be effective and powerful but to ensure it still keeps the ambiguity and length characteristic of teaser trailers.
We now aim to complete the editing to create the visual effect we want, but then we also need to find some appropriate copyright free music, as music is a very powerful tool in establishing a mood which is essential for shorter trailers like this one.

Finished filming

All sorts of problems with weather and transport as well as with the technology and cameras we are using over the past month has caused some major setbacks. Which has meant we are now further behind shedule than anticipated. This does mean we'll have to complete editing more quickly than we hoped, we wanted quite a long time to edit, but its definitely achievable.
However, we have now completed all of our filming and have uploaded it to the apple mac computers we will be using. Again problems getting hold of the correct cable to complete this transfer also delayed this process.
