Editing
To edit my film trailer I will be using
Windows movie maker, this is due to it being a program I already have installed
on my laptop, it is also far easier to use than Adobe Premier pro and also I like
the way it is laid out. This is all very useful because it works just as well
as Adobe Premier pro but doesn't have the extortionate price tag.
I found editing relatively easy; this is
probably due to the simplicity of Windows Movie maker. One of the main pieces of
editing I did other than the simple cuts between scenes was putting it into
black and white, I did this capture the essence of the film noir genre and I believe
it has worked quite effectively.
For the
music of my trailer I have used a piece of music called Apocalypto. I believe
it was the perfect fit for my trailer because it holds the intensity of the
action in the trailer well, another advantage of that piece of music was it was
the perfect length for where I planned it to start and stop. The music starts
after Wilson says he must be eliminated and goes until the gunshot towards the
end of the trailer.

Filming
Filming
started off with an unexpected glitch when one of the actors pulled out on the
day I was going to film, however in a great turn of luck the actor that had
previously lined up to play the character of jack was now available so I asked
him if he was able to film on Friday the 19th and he was.
I had previously scheduled
4pm to film, however Vishal Bhudia who
plays the character of jack was not able to make that time due to commitments
with work so I resorted to pushing back filming to 4:30pm all of the actors
were OK with this. I didn’t need them to bring multiple costumes because the
film is only set over a couple of days in which the only real costume change
is; a hoodie for jack to signal his suspension from the force, hoodie for Tyler
played by Declan Hampton so jack doesn’t
recognise him from a distance and the same for David played by James Bowes although the character of
jack does not know him it still makes him look more shifty.
I wasn’t actually able to start filming until 5pm due to one of the actors punctuality deficiency so when I started filming it was getting dark however this worked to my advantage as I was able to convey the gritty nature of the film better. In all I think filming was a resounding success.
