Editing Day 1

I started editing what I previously filmed too see what I had and how much I still need to film. I have some good stuff, ut I still need a lot more to make the storyline and plot obvious to the audience viewing the trailers. I have about a minute of my first trailer worth of footage. I want one of my trailers to be around 2 minutes, and the other one a little over 1 minute, so I still need to add a lot. There are some clips that I could possily cut out when I film and add other stuff, but they could stay in depending on how good they look. 

I also need to add more of a comedic vibe to my trailers, sice is a chick flick comedy. I need to make my trailer very fast paced, one of the girls in my group today gave me that idea. She said most comedi trailers are very fast paced and never have pauses or give the audence time to think. I think that comment was very helpful and will help with further editing. I need to my some of my clips shorter and more fast paced so the action and comedy never stops. I want the begining to start out seeming like the movie is going to go in a completely different direction and then all of the sudden the action and comedy pick up and it is nonstop throughout the rest of the trailer, really grasping the audiences attention. I think this will help make them want to see the film more because it will show some crazy moments of the film without giving anything away.

I plan on doing a voiceover for certain parts of the trailers, and just having digetic sound for other parts. I want the music to be slower and calm in the begining and then BANG!, when the crazy action starts the music picks up and catches everyone offguard. I really hope that I do a good job putting what I am envisioning in my mind on the screen. I am planning on filming htis weekend, so hopefully that happens and I can get a lot done.
