Here are some of the screenshots of the production process of creating our horror trailer.

In this shot you can see how we have incorporated a green-screen to show our audience if the trailer/film is aged restricted. However we chose to take this feature out because it is an American feature that you see in films distributed by an American conglomerate. We are creating a British film and didn't want to incorporate this feature as we have already involved the 'Paramount Pictures' logo as this is the company we want to distribute our film.

This next section shows the production logo which again we have changed as it doesn't work with the theme of the trailer. Also it was too long, by the time we had seen both logos it was almost 30 seconds of the trailer gone so we had to delete this section and spread every thing out so the audience doesn't get bored of watching productions logo for the first part of the trailer.

This is a shot of the near middle part of the trailer, this is of the killer and shows how he overpowers the woman which follows the typical common conventions of horror movies. This also shows in the left corner the production of the trailer and how we cut each individual section to make sure it was fully effective and was useful in the trailer. Each section plays its part.

The next two images show how we edited the sound control and colour correction. With the sound we needed to use a temporary song track while we constructed sounds and music in GarageBand on the Macs. The song "Bring me to life by - Evanescene" and this provided a basis for our trailer. We couldn't use this track anyway due to copyright laws as we don't have permission to use the song and this would cause problems if we were to use it anyway.

With the colour correction, the original colour was too light and needed to be darkened and changed. When doing this we changed quite a lot of things and we also sped up the cars to make it seem like they were moving quicker because the effect was really good and we needed also to shorten the clip too.

This last screenshot shows the sound correction being changed and what we have done to it by the bar on the left side. We tried to use as much footage as possible to make it look as effective and conventional as possible.
