Use of Adobe

For our making of the trailer we used Adobe Premiere Elements 15 , this is a software that we have on the computers that enabled us to edit and form our trailer. From using this we were able to snip scenes in order to make them more effective an example of this would be when the two characters Sean and Shannon ran towards the abandoned shelter we cut their running to a scene of the clown and then back to them running which was effective because it created tension but also gave us the chance to show the audience what the characters would be facing next. We also used fast pace editing to create tension when they are running.


When filming we recorded multiple shots and then when we uploaded it to Adobe to bring these scenes together. A good example of this would be the beginning of our trailer when the river is seen and then it softly fades to the trees. This helped us to set the scene.
Adobe also enabled us to put music over the footage we filmed. We chose to start off with soft music and then when the tension builds make it darker and more scary.


By using Adobe we were also able to have text on the screen which created tension because it made the audience wonder what would happen next. This worked well because in trailers text is often used to make the audience feel part of the trailer. We also used a panning effect on Adobe which was effective in the scene of when the poster is up of the clown. We used panning multiple times to create a slow but tense feeling.


We zoom in on when I am reporting from air raid shelter because it shows the seriousness of the situation but also captures my feelings. This makes the audience sympathise with me because of the fact I am at the scene where attacks have recently taken place.
