2. We used Pinnacle to edit our trailer; put shots in order as well as changing
lighting in colour corrector.
3.
4. As well as this we created an unnerving
strobing effect with the use of white
titles in-between split clips.
5. We used the shine effect tool in Pinnacle to create
this glowing effect on the normally plain black and
white Miramax logo. Instead of fully changing the
colour of it, we decided to keep the original black
and white (binary oppositional connotations) and to
put a fiery effect on it. We decided this because fire
signifies destruction, linking to the narrative and
genre of our trailer.

7. We used Pinnacle to create
our interim titles which
added narrative exposition
and emphasised the
questions being asked in the
trailer.
We also used pinnacle to create
the end coming soon title which
is conventional of all trailers.
We also including information
such as: Twitter and Facebook-
as well as company logos. We
used pinnacle to add effects to
our different titles such as ‘city
lights’.
8. We also used a variety of editing
techniques such as match on action for fast
paced action sequences as well as jump
cuts to create a intense, jumpy effect.
These are commonly used in horror/thriller
trailers.
11. We also used the pan and zoom tool to take
a close up to an extreme close up therefore
creating a wider variety of shots.
12. We used a camera and a tripod which created a
steadier shot.
13. We used Blogger to upload text, pictures, links, videos and
powerpoints: different ways of presenting information. I found it
quite simple to use with very few problems.
14. We put videos on our blogs through embedding them from
vimeo. This was simple however it was also time consuming. We
also used vimeo to embed videos onto our website. Vimeo was
reliable however videos took a while to upload.
15. Slidehare was used to upload powerpoints to be
embedded in our blogs. This was a good way to
present information especially information
requiring a large amount of pictures.
16. We used wix to create our website to go with our trailer. Nowadays
most films have a website due to an increased use of technology
especially the internet. Some films also have apps on IPhones, but
these are usually used for films aimed at teenagers, as they are
more likely to use them.
17. We used Macromedia fireworks to create our poster which
was fairly easy to use and put all of our images together
where we wanted them. However, when making the images
less blurred around the edges, we found that it was very time
consuming and quite difficult. This made us think that using
another program such as photoshop may have worked out
better.
18. The camera and tripod allowed us to create a wide variety
of shots such as long shots, close ups and high angle shots.
The tripod also enabled steadiness.
Pinnacle allowed us to edit individual shots eg. Using pan
and zoom or changing the lighting or colour.However we
did have some problems with pinnacle working on our
computer.
19. We had some small problems using
pinnacle as it kept on closing without
saving our work. However we solved this
by making sure we saved our work more
regularly.
