Test Shots

We decided to mess about with a few shots in order to gage what we needed in our teaser trailer and what will look more effective in our filming. We looked at various teaser trailers in research and came across a shot which we liked, in which it started as an establishing shot and then was edited so that the shot is overlapped with a zoom shot, to create a layered jumpy effect. Not only did we want to create this effect but we wanted to manipulate certain areas of the framing and the shots, audio, effects, transition etc to see what we could do for our final piece. We used iMovie to edit these clips, however in the final piece we are aiming to be using final cut for various shots as we feel it provides a more extensive range of editing techniques and more professional tools to edit with. We decided that for the editing stage iMovie was adequate for what we wanted to test, we booked the camera IN ADVANCE and filmed the outside of our school to recreate the establishing shot it the teaser trailer we had seen. On this particular edit, we decided to change certain video adjustments of the framing such as the contrast, exposure and brightness of the shot. We feel this helped recreate an eerie effect which suited our teaser trailer in terms of genre.
