More Editing, Music

This shows what we've done so far. We have filmed more scenes such as the beginning one, the establishing shot of Charlotte entering a classroom full of Summer and her friends. We have used a voice over of Charlotte saying 'Hi, I'm new here' to which an office lady replies 'Name?' and she answers 'Charlotte Westbridge'. As the trailer develops we may change the position of the trailer if any shots are needed to be added or taken away. We have come very far with our music; we have made it into a track that can be used throughout the entire trailer by using an acoustic version of the song 'Uninvited' and link it into the Freemason's club edit version which helps as at the start the scene seems innocent and unclear whereas the music begins to become more uptempo as you see Charlotte's true intentions and actions towards Summer, such as her opening her back gate. We still need to work on the music as somehow the volume keeps changing. This is probably due to the fact we have hushed the sound in the clips and it is therefore changing the volume of the complimentary track but we will sort it out. As not all of our filming is done and we are not sure how much time will be taken up of the track we are not yet merging the two tracks together due to the uncertainty of how long the trailer will be in the end. We feel like we still need to edit some of the clips already involved in this version as some may be a tad too long to work in time with the music. We have added some transitions, subtle ones as we run the risk of making it look too cheesy if the transitions are hugely noticeable. We have titles now, and we will most probably add more but for the moment these work well ad are in fairly secure places in the trailer as we are sticking to the conventional type of psychological thriller trailers. We have begun to add some short clips in that will eventually be part of a montage such as the 1-2 second clip of Summer crying on the phone. At the moment, it doesn't look good but it is just a small taste of what we will include when all the filming is finished. The shot of Charlotte running wildly out of a room and towards the camera is most likely to be at the end of the montage once it has intensified more gradually as at the moment it all happens fairly suddenly. It's just about doing some more filming which we plan to do in this next week and it will start to really take form.
