Editing Day 2

Once I had edited and completed the beginning of the trailer, I decided that I would mimic one last thing from the trailer for Step Up 2, being the way that thhe characters are introduced with their names appearing following clips of them. I really liked this because I found it was an eay way to correct the problem I came accross of not enough dialogue. Next I began to add the music tracks to the other shots I had edited. I did this by cutting the music to the parts that I thought would merge well and emphasis certain parts of the trailer. For example, as Sarah is introduced the clip of her pauses as the next track is brought in and I thought it works really well.

As the trailer went on, I sped up the clips as I had planned to in my animatic and made the cuts quicker as the titles were introduced. This makes the audience focus on the clips more as they are shown faster.

Once I had completed the editing I noticed that I didn't follow through with my orignal plan of the switch between colour and black and white to create emphasis on certain shots. I decided that in fact I did like this effect and so I changed the trailer slightly so that when a character was introduced, the shot would pause, turn to black and white and their name would appear.

This lead me onto the final shot where I had planned that Jasmine would be dancing and it would merge into the title with bright colours, much like Step Up 2. However, I changed my idea slightly so that the black and white effect would continue to the end and Jasmine would be dancing and flicker with the music, then change to black and white, pause and the title would appear. I decided that this would be more suitable as I didnt use many bright colours through out the trailer so the title would be a bit too abstract compared to the rest of the trailer.
