This year we made a action thriller trailer which was a choice we came to after not enjoying doing a horror opening last year, we made this choice at the very beginning of the project as we thought last years film wasn't good and this year we needed to find something we enjoyed and something we had a prior interest in like the action thriller drama. when editing our trailer this year we mainly stuck to one transition which was a fade to black this helped add drama as it adds a mysterious element to the scene it followed.it  also conforms to the codes and conventions of a thriller. The effect this has on the trailer overall is that it adds consistency and helps the audience move on and know something new is happening.  In comparison to last year where to transition from one scene to another we used different edits therefore it took away from all the drama and tension in the scenes it came after and before. The effect overall made the trailer seem fast paced and exciting therefore grabbing the attention of the target audience which is 18-30 year old men more than women. This shows the progression of skills as in our AS  project we didn't know the types of audiences would watch a horror therefore didn't add things that would attract that audience.One of the other things we did was to add a black and white effect to an image and then we used a blend transition to bring it into color we did this because we thought that it would show the darkness of the scene which subliminally says that a character in the scene either has a dark past or is a dark/evil character, it also is a memorable scene which people will look for in other trailers and will want to see how it effects the film overall.

We made lots of clever choices in order to make our trailer as conventional as we could this year.  One of the ways that did this was through our use of sound.  We used a narrative voice-over to tell the story and introduce our protagonist.  We were careful with the use of our audio levels and used fade and cut audio to make sure it worked in a dynamic way and didn't affect continuity.  One of the things that we got wrong was sound in  our G321 project because we couldn't hear the dialogue between the characters therefore part of the story was lost, to overcome this we should have re-recorded the dialogue afterwards ,and edited it in.

Our use of titles was a strength we created our own original production credits based on our own fiction production company we used this at the beginning with a fade in bright colors to juxtapose the darkness of the trailer. We added slides down transition so that they would be noticed with establishing shots and we didn't add any transitions when we used titles to introduce characters as they are key parts of the film. We also added some titles during scenes as a way to make those names memorable.
