Finished trailer!

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 19^th 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. 

Props

 the props i needed to film have know arrived. The props I needed where a toy police badge because it is a key piece of synergy and also two toy guns.
