Software explanation:
All in all my final trailer is a very good product, however there were some problems along the way and
unexpected changes I had to make. I used Adobe premiere at the beginning but due to technical issues
I had to change software, I decided to use Movie Maker which I was originally unsure of but I managed
to use it efficiently.

Adobe premiere-
Alike many of my classmates I used this software for my horror trailer, however due to the school
computers it became incredibly difficult to use this particular software. The software had been downloaded
onto computers which could not run it correctly which meant that editing was impossible; I would open the
folder and an hour later it still could not run correctly. I decided that I would not be able to use this
software for my trailer and had to restart my project onto another software which I would be able to use
more efficiently and be able to make an effective, creative and most importantly intriguing horror trailer.

Movie Maker-
I had disregarded this software as an option early on because I thought it could be too basic for the final
version of this project but after the problems I seemed to be having with Adobe premiere I thought it would
be a good idea to try this software instead as it was more easily accessible and I had previously used it.
I found out that despite my original thoughts, I was able to create a well edited horror trailer; adding in the
sound is what brought the trailer together and so after going through and editing all the visual areas of the
trailer I could add a range of effects, music and my own original music. I believe that the key to this being
a good overall product was that I uses a familiar software; unlike Adobe premiere it was simple to use and
I was able to work on my trailer outside of school, this worked well for me as I did not have to worry about
only having access to my work in one area. The use of effects such as cropped videos or pans was very
important in creating a successful horror trailer, colour and speed alterations also helped with flickers of
other images being added into the video; when the main image is a calm pan side to side, the use of a
fast paced scene in between this slow image creates a change in the film and keeps the tension there
for the audience.

Cyberlink editing software-
After all the editing on Movie Maker, with the help of feedback I realised that I need a consecutive piece
of music to go over the entire trailer so that it can be recognised as a continuous trailer. On Movie
Maker you cannot put a piece of music over everything as they are split into different sections and this
would not work as I had already edited sound, therefore I had to use another type of software to include
another layer of sound over everything, the sound was simple chords on a piano, violin and cello which
created drama throughout the project.

As mentioned before I had some technical problems but I did manage to create a great and dramatic
atmosphere during the trailer, with the changes I have made it is even better than before and looks
very professional. Adding in the titles and music made it seem much better than it previously had been,
the simple music meant that it was possible to identify this as a real horror film trailer.
