For our second day of editing, my group and I planned to meet at Jeet’s house as she was the only group member with access to the editing software, Final Cut Pro. Our main priority during this day was to take our teacher’s feedback into consideration and make any necessary improvements to our rough cut. We decided that it would be best to focus on lengthening our trailer, therefore we systematically viewed and assessed our filming footage to see which scenes could be effective to incorporate in our work. We started off by playing around and inserting specific clips into our rough cut in order to see if they flow well within the sequence.
During this time we came across the footage Indiana and I had taken within the graveyard on our third day of filming. As conveyed within our storyboard, we initially intended to incorporate a close-up shot of an old, battered gravestone which reads “In the loving memory of our mother”. However, we came to realise that the footage didn't make sense or flow with the rest of the sequence therefore so we decided to leave it out.
We then moved on to focus on the sound of our trailer as we currently only had the original sounds from our footage playing in the background. During our research period, we had come to find that sound within a trailer is extremely significant as it helps create suspense or an emotional impact for the viewers. We, therefore, needed to carefully choose which sound effects or soundtracks were most suitable to match what is taking place on screen. My group and I therefore collectively went onto a website called Incompetech as it allowed us to use copyright free sound effects. On the website, we found a number of eerie sound effects which we believed would be extremely effective to build up fear amongst the audience if used within our trailer. Once we picked out a handful of specific sound effects, we experimented with them by placing them within our trailer and had fortunately found the they work well together.
