Editing Ideas

Before we started editing we came up with the following ideas for how we should put together our trailer:

• The shots should start longer, then decrease in time throughout, making the pace build up and creating more tension.
• The shots should follow no chronological order, as we want them to look like they've been taken from various places in the film.
• We will put flashes between the shots to make it more obvious that the shots are not in order and to add more of a spectacle.
• We will use 'day for night' to change some of the shots to look like they have been filmed at night. We are using this in post production rather than actually filming at night due to the practicalities assosiated with night-filming; th effect will re-create the dark colours and eerieness of night without lowering the quality of shots or putting everything in complete shadow.
• For the sound editing we need have some dialogue: 'Do you ever feel like someone's watching you?' 'Like who?' 'I don't know'. This will run with the music but still be able to be heard; it will also run over other shots For the rest of the shots we will turn off the audio so we don't get camera static interfering with the music.
• We have decided not to put the title of the film in the trailer as we want there to be some enigma surrounding the film. Also, as the title is 'Hidden Culprit', not actually revealing the title on the trailer fits with the idea for the film.
