[EDITING] Third Session

Our third session of editing happened today and it was a very productive day.
The second session ended with us leaving the all the clips which we picked together untouched and that added up to 1:42minutes. Since we knew we was going too add some black screens and fade in/outs eventually, we thought we should just add some of it first so we knew how much we had to edit out of the clips we filmed. By doing so it brought the whole teaser to 1:49minutes which was less than what we was expecting.

To the actual editing since we made the choice that each of characters scene would be shown simultaneously we had to move each clip so it would look right.
For example, we had my clip then a fade, then Samuels clip then fade, then Marks clip. This was the sequence that we wanted to have during the whole teaser trailer.
Usman came up with the idea to have 3 black screens all including part of our tagline and they would come up throughout the teaser trailer.
The tagline is 'What would you do if you past came back to haunt you?'
1st Black Screen - What would you do...
2nd Black Screen - ...if your past...
3rd Black Screen - ...came back to haunt you?
That would be the sequence the tagline would come in.

Once the session finished we had reduced the teaser trailer to 1:01minutes which we are very pleased with and it is starting to look really good. For the next session I want to get it down even further as we have to add a few more things.

Today was also the day where other people in my class could see our teaser trailer, we got alot of positive feedback, alot was the actual plot of the teaser one person said 'the way the trailer is set out makes me wonder how is this guy stalking all of these people and appearing out of nowhere' and there was a clip that was getting good feedback, this clip was a panning shot which Samuel walking across the screen whilst the camera pans right and once he leaves the screen another character is there.
