Whelp! The title really says it all! Taylor and I finished editing and published our 1st of two trailers. The first trailer Tay and I finished was the Movie Theater Trailer and it looks glorious.
Being that this trailer is being featured in the movie theater, our audience is going to be more genre driven as stated in a previous post, so we included more intense (but still not to deep) electronic synth dramatic music and ended it with a royalty free emotional piano song we found from a Youtube artist.
One of the hardest parts of the entire project was trying to find good music to put in our film. We tried many sites, but in the end my friend gave me a great recommendation that without our film would have probably been not as good. The Youtube Audio Library literally saved us from having to use bad music, because we actually found quality tracks and many of them to decide between.
***Something Random***
(Personally I utilize iMovie to edit all my films as it is really easy to import all the media from from phone onto my computer and start editing right away through the airdrop into iMovie process, plus I've used it now for two years and it is what I am most comfortable with)
For this trailer being the movie trailer, we stuck with the normal film conventions of having more dramatic and emotional scenes to appeal to the viewer. The editing isn't necessarily fast paced except for some of the beginning sequence, but it defiantly isn't slow, so it is in that nice little middle area we want it for the most part.
We did a lot of sound editing as well in order to make the volume flow better at points where when we filmed the voices or background noise seemed too much or the music was competing with the commentary or voiceover.
Overall, this trailer really represents what we wanted it to represent for our first trailer being a drama being broadcasted in a movie theater, and Tay and I would love for you to check it out below!
I also utilized Canva to create a Youtube Thumbnail that better represents the current genre conventions of how movie trailers are featured and viewed on the video streaming site. This would help the trailer garner more attention visually from simply the video's first impression image.

Now we are already onto working on Trailer #2, the website, and the film poster... who knows what is next?!?! Well, Tay and I know... you don't.
