Editing

Once we had finished filming it was time to start editing. We imported the footage we wanted to use into i-movie and started with our film trailer. We put the scenes in order of how we were going to use them and cut them to the lengths we wanted. We then placed them together using our storyboard as a constant reference. Once we had the shots together it was time to add transitions to smooth out the jump in-between shots. We added a fade between the shots as it was the simplest transition we could find. We then began to add affects to some of the shots to make the trailer look a lot more professional. We added an old style film affect to the girls praying scene, repeating this twice in the final trailer.

When we had finished with our film clips we started on credits. We produced are own production logo's like those seen in real movie trailers. The first, is for a fictional company called film works, we used an italic font for the first part of the name making the logo look extremely soft contrasting with the bold font used for 'works'. We kept the black, white and red colour scheme to connote the horror genre.

The second, a logo for company 'Low films' uses a bold font throughout the logo. By adding a white drop shadow we were able to produce a bold eye catching production logo. We added both these logo's to the beginning of our trailer to make our final work look more realistic.

Finally we added the films name 'Ward 13' to the end of the trailer so the audience would know the films name, we also added the films release date.

When the editing was done it was time to add in sound. Originally we tried to use garage band but found it hard to produce the sound we liked. In the end we decided to use some non-copyrighted music from www.freeplaymusic.com. We picked a sound track called 'Abandoned infirmary' which gave the trailer a creepy atmosphere. We then added screams to the end of the trailer to finish off.
