Rough Cut With Sound

Presented below is my Rough Cut of my Teaser Trailer including sound.

Sound Update

Presented below is my edited soundtrack which I am going to use in my teaser Trailer, I feel that it represents the horror genre well, with the haunting theme of the piano at the beginning fading into the soundtrack which creates a feeling of tension and suspense which is then further supported by the heightened diegetic sound of a heart beat.

Editing Sound into the Trailer

Shooting Schedule

I aim to get all of my footage filmed as quickly as possible so that I have more time to edit it, presented below is my planned schedule that both myself and my actors have agreed to film on the following days:


  • November 7th
  • November 9th
  • And if any additional footage needs to either be included or reshot, we have agreed that November 11th will be an extra shooting day.

Editing Process

One of the ways in which I have edited my post production footage for my trailer is with the use of Final Cut, this included animating inter titles like so:



This was achieved by:
Using the method of Keyframing in which I selected a scale tool, placed a "diamond" on each second I wanted editing then added the values 100 and 0 this created the effect of the inter title gradually fading out.


NB - ACTUAL VIDEO FINISHES AT 0.06 NOT 1.45


I have also looked into the use of Filters final cut provides, this effect is a Ripple filter which I may now consider using in my final trailer, as I feel the feeling of disorientation it provides, relates to the confused mind of the protagonist and can be combined well with the feelings of tension and horror that the soundtrack also provides.
