Movie Title and Release Date Creation

This is process showing how I achieved to create a transparent movie title and release date.
I used to software Adobe Premiere Pro - this software helped me create this in under 10 minutes.

Firstly I created a new sequence, I did this by highlighting (since I was using more than one videos) the videos I was using, right-clicking and selecting create a new sequence, and this created a new sequence consisting of the source settings of the video files.
I then had to create a new black video - this behaves as a still image and I did this by going on the project panel selecting this ‘new icon’ icon and then clicking on 'black video', I then dragged this onto the timeline and stretched it to match the same length as the sequence.
Next, I selected new icon again, and clicked on Title - and dragged it onto the timeline and also made it match the duration of the black video and sequence - from here I began to add effects.

The first effect I applied onto the black video was Track Matte Key - this helped enable that the videos in my sequence would be shown behind the text.  I double clicked on the text area and then began to create my text, within this I adjusted the size until it was appropriate - and that is how I achieved this:

Editing: Murder Scene


By Elizabeth

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.

Cartoon Effects

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.






Character Introductions

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.
