Using Premier Pro CCTo create my trailer I used Adobe Premier Pro CC. This allowed me to create a professional and conventional horror trailer. It has many features to allow me to create an effective trailer.

Importing files and editing:

< When you import any type of file into premier pro it appears in the small section on the left. To insert the file you drag it across and into the timeline on premier pro.

< To edit you go to the effects section on the left. To use and effect you simpler drag and place it on the footage/ sound within the timeline you want to add the effect to.

Using premier pro it allowed me to included conventional horror transitions such as ‘Fade to black’ I have used these throughout my trailer.

It has also allowed me to edit my footage. As my images were quite dark I needed to lighten them. Using the Brightness and contrast effect from the visual effects section on premier I was able to brighten the image.

Adding titles:

As a convention of form, titles are needed to create a professional and conventional trailer. Premier has its own option for titles. You create the title and drag it into the time line on top of the footage/ space you want it to be.

I downloaded my fonts from Dafont.com, once uploaded onto the computer these fonts can be used in premier pro.

Adding sound:

I downloaded my sound from royalty free websites/youtube. I used an online converter to change them into MP3 format and imported them into my trailer.

I have cut the sound using the red cutting tool to fit in with the footage seen. I have also used audio transitions such as exponential fade which are available in premier pro.

Editing scenes together:

As it is a horror trailer I have used fast paced cuts to create suspension and mystery. To do this on premier pro I cut up scenes so they are short and placed them together. Some scenes overlap to create quick jump cuts. Premier has also allowed me to speed up clips, by right clicking on a piece of footage and then changing the duration.
