In this lesson we did some filming and we managed to do the Jessica scene and I did experiments with panning shots and I did a birds eye view shot of Elise, who is one of my characters in the trailer. I did this because I got inspiration from the first insidious film where they are all sitting around in a circle and the old lady is communicating with the evil spirits that are haunting the main family in the trailer. Here is a screenshot of this particular scene:

In today's lesson, I changed the pitching of one of my actors voices and decreased the volume because the scream that they did was very high pitched. Also, I downloaded some more sound effects for my trailer- some of them being from the Insidious movie (which is my trailer inspiration). I also used the constant grain effect on one of the sound effects to fade the sound out so that it was not stopping abruptly when another scene started. I downloaded some music from the IT movie, which is another good horror movie because it created a dark mood and it was going to be the soundtrack that I played throughout the trailer.

This lesson we found some audio to put with our footage, which really went well with our clips.

This is where I am currently at in the trailer making process. I learnt how to crop a clip and put it into another one. We are also going to put some sound with these clips to see how it will work. How I did the crop: I copied the mirror and ann smirking clips and pasted them somewhere else on the film timeline. Then I put the ann smirking clip on top of the mirror clip. Then I cropped the footage of Ann smirking and put that inside the mirror frame.

Last lesson we continued working on our movie trailer. we filmed some more clips and added them to Premier Pro. This lesson we are going to continue that work and I will use the doctors scene that I filmed before instead of filming another one.
