Editing..

We had to upload our footage to Pinnacle in order to edit it into a film trailer, this is where we realised we had filmed some of our footage with a HD setting, where others hadn't, this caused the footage to vary from a big screen to a smaller one. Fortunately we encountered this problem last year in our AS Media Studies, this was therefore a easy problem to resolve but changing the setting of those shots but right clicking and selecting the 'fit to screen' option. This allowed us to keep the consistency throughout our film. As mentioned before, we filmed a scene with the main female character and her friend, we deleted this shot after realising teaser trailers do not often contain dialogue and wanted to keep this convention with our trailer. We also spent a lot of time considering the different colour options for our title scenes, we wanted to the keep them consistent with our other promotional products with the pink and orange but we didn't know whether to use one slide orange, one slide pink or so mix the two colours together. After careful consideration, we chose the film title and release date to be pink, to match our film poster and for the tag line and film website to be orange as this is a less bold colour and the information is less important. After editing most of our film, we noticed the some of the shots at the beginning of the boys were off centre, we chose not to re-film these shots as it would be inconvienent, instead we chose to adjust the shots on Pinnacle by zooming in on specific shots and choosing which parts to be shown during our trailer. For our film magzine we chose to change the image we had used of our main female character as we felt it was too posed to be on the cover of a film magazine and looked part of a teen magazine, regardless of the title of the magazine. We chose a picture of our main character shown in a more relaxed pose, and used the background of the image as well instead of a block white colour. This implied that our character was happy and fun whilst still bringing out her beauty which is typical of a romantic comedy. We also experienced some hiccups on our film poster, after reviewing our final poster, we realised that one side of the image of the bench had been cut off. This was easily fixed by cropping the other side of the bench off, this allowed the image to be more symmetrical. We originally planned to put the film title next to the couple and make it look like it was sitting on the bench with them, after consideration we chose to put it underneith the bench instead, this worked out for the best and filled out the poster more, whereas we would have had big empty spaces.
