A few scenes filmed for the murder scene are used earlier in the trailer to create a feeling of unease in the audience, therefore it was important that I did not repeat them. I embedded scenes of the police officer stumbling towards the characters, Tia and Chance, within scenes of the two laughing and talking with each other. The scenes contrast with one another, as one creates a sense of foreboding in the audience, whilst the scenes of Tia and Chance emphasise how close they are. 

I used Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit this scene. The first thing that I did was create a bin full of all the footage for the murder scene and review them, cutting the parts out with the razor tool that I did not like. 

I embedded scenes of the police officer's kidnapping within the murder scene to, again, create a sense of foreboding within the audience; they know that something bad is going to happen. For the flashing effect I used the razor tool to separate the footage into equally sized parts and then I added a dip to black video transition in each part.

I am showing how I constructed character forms of the characters of our trailer, I wanted to create something different so I decided to create a cartoon form of the pictures we took just to challenge my ability of using photoshop.

Here is a quick tutorial of how I achieved to make our character introductions, this did require a lot of research and practice as it took a total of 20 attempts to create the final outcome.

A convention that most, if not all, gangster crime trailers conform to is the introduction of the gang members at the beginning of the trailer. This is in order to inform the audience that they are the main characters. 

I used Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit. The first thing that I did was create a bin full of all the shots that my team and I filmed with the intention of using them for Shaniqua's introduction.

I reviewed the different shots, using the razor tool to cut out the parts that I did not like. 

Effects:

To place emphasis on a particular scene in Shaniqua's introduction that I found to be significant, I changed the speed of it 60%. This resulted in the clip becoming slower.

For Shaniqua's fight scene I added a dip to black video transition in each clip, which resulted in them fading to black. I really liked the overall effect of this.

I scaled all of the clips to frame size, unlinked the video and audio so that I could delete the audio as I intend to add music to it in the later stages of editing.
