EDITING- sound

There were sounds that were needed in our trailer which we included and these steps are demonstrated in the screen grabs below.

SOUND EFFECTS

We decided that the first clip of our trailer would be in silence, with only the sound of the clicking being heard for dramatic effect. So we did this by muting the actual clip, and then going on 'Sounds and Music' and searched for a clicking sound to ensure that it would sound crisp with no interference.

The screen grab above shows the two clicking sounds put into the trailer. We made them especially loud so that they could be loud and so that our audience would be able to hear this properly so that it makes the impact it needs to.

GETTING THE 'DROP' RIGHT

Our selection of music has the perfect silence we searched for which then is followed by the beat dropping into an intense instrumental. When assembling the clips, it was then necessary to make the beat drop exactly where the disequilibrium starts. This was successful though it was quite difficult getting the beat to drop exactly where it needed to, but this was eventually achieved. Once we had clipped all of our clips and then added the texts, at the start of the song on the timeline it was possible to open up the 'clip trimmer' for the sound on a drop down menu in the top left hand corner on the little white cog sign on the actual music. This enabled us to be able to adjust the drop to match the trailer.

MAKING THE MUSIC FADE

So the music ends on a not too abrupt stop it was essential to make the song fade towards the end. For the last clip (not including the 'coming soon' text clip following our final clip) we made the music fade by dragging a small white bead backwards which made the grooves of music rounded meaning that the last clip faded in sound and eventually came to a stop. This made it have an overall smoother sound making it sound professional, additionally.

COMPANY LOGO

The 'Revolver' company logo is introduced with a sort of subtle low 'whooshing' sound. This was done so that the music that followed the logo introduction did not just start without any backing whatsoever. This was achieved by inserting the company logo but then muting it and going onto the music sign icon on iMovie to find a dramatic but subtle enough sound to accompany the clip. This also is a feature of any kind of trailer, so we used a reputable film British film company logo in our own teaser trailer.
