[EXCLUSIVE] Silent Footsteps Teaser Trailer

After finishing the the editing we had to create the music which was hard but was done after several sessions and alot of work from Usman who we heavily relied on when making this music.


As you can see we wanted the music to start of slow so it would match the teasers pace, but once the character runs the msuic drops and the pace of the teaser picks up. The actual scene lengths are shortened to 1 second each until the end which again makes the teaser look quicker and the music helps this aswell. We wanted it to end with a shock, which I believe we accomplished with how the teaser ended, because of this I believe that once watched people would want to see the whole film.

[MUSIC] First Session

For the first session of creating the music we had to learn this new software on the Apple Mac Pro called 'GarageBand'. Our teacher showed us a tutorial from the internet, which gave us an insight into how use it. So for today the session was to play around with this new software and learn the basics, which I believe we did and we even started to look at certain instruments that we could use. We looked at some pianos and found a couple of emotional piano loops which we could use.

Wandsworth City Learning Centre

W went to WCLC to learn how to use photoshop, so that we could create our magazine covers and posters. This was very useful as now I can use adobe photoshop to create the posters and magazine covers.
These are the first draft using photoshop for our poster and magazine cover.

Draft Magazine & Poster

As you can see we started but was unable to finish the poster and magazine. However, because of what we learnt at Wandsworth CLC we are now able to leave and do the poster and magazine cover without the need to ask for help from a professional.

We have come up with 3 more ideas for a poster and 2 more ideas for a magazine cover, which we intend to make and hopefully once finished be able to choose the best ones. Also, we may ask outside sources to choose which ones are the best, this might help us choose the best poster and magazine.

Poster Ideas & Pictures

We came together and had a brainstorm on what our poster should look like, we came up with several ideas and drew them.
These are the 1st draft drawings we have done:
Poster Ideas

The drawings are very basic I know, but we didn't want to take long and make the drawings perfect as we, at this point still weren't sure what the actual posters were going to be.
However, we did come to the conclusion that we will make 2 or 3 posters so we can have options to decide which one is the best, instead of having only 1 choice we will have a few which I believe is better.

[EDITING] Fifth Session

Today was the last session of editing our teaser trailer. As we have alot of work to do it was me and Usman working on the editing and Mark and Samuel working on the posters.
The things we needed to accomplish today were:
- Make the clips quicker in the middle part of the teaser.
- Add the director and actor names.
- Come to a decision of what production company we will be using.
- Make sure that it doesn't go above 1 minute.

The first thing we did was make the clips quicker, so what we had to do was edit the middle clips between certain black screens as this was the quickest part of the teaser trailer. We made the clips between 1-1.5 seconds long, whilst doing this we had to make sure that it all still made sense which was very hard but we was able to do this.

We added the directors name and his credentials aswell as the actors name and credentials. The director was Diego DeMoro who was a Golden Globe winner for the film 'Around The Corner' and Usman Shiekh was an Academy Award winner for lead actor.

The production company is called EAGLE Productions and there logo will be imported into the teaser trailer once it has been made.

After all of the editing was finished the teaser trailer lasted 56seconds with everything added. We are happy with the current outcome of it but once the music has been made and put on to it, we believe that it will make the teaser alot better.
