Editing The Trailer 07/03/2011

Today we did some more editing. We managed to complete a few key scenes in our trailer, which were;
The start of the trailer with Nicole locked in a room. This lasts around 15 seconds and shows the situation she is in. It is a present event in the trailer.
A past scene, where Nicole is seen recieving an A grade off her teacher. Where you can also see the jealousy of her friends and suprised look on the teachers face. This lasts about 5-6 seconds.
Another past shot, where Nicole is walking towards her car and sees a reflection of a person in her windscreen. This lasts about 5-6 seconds.
We also had a go at creating our titles, including our production company. At the moment we have decided to use 'Warlock Productions', as our company name. It will be shown at the very start of the trailer, which keeps in conventions with most film trailers. We have ued effects and transitions on the company name to make it more interesting. Our reason for using the name 'Warlock Productions' was mainly due to the fact, that it sounds like a company which usually creates adventure/action films. So by using the company for a thriller film, would make it more recognisable to the audience (if it were real), and gives us the chance to change the font and 'look' of the company name, to our genre type, which is what many companies would do, because then before you watch the trailer, the company name gives away what type of genre the film may be. All this should show that we have created a company name, that seems as though it has been running for a long time.
