iMovie

After the results from our audience feedback, we imported our footage onto the Mac's to use the iMovie programme. This would help us with our titles and transitions, as well as offering a wider range of fonts and better graphics as we finished editing the teaser trailer as a group.

After uploading our footage and naming our production, we could begin to split the clips in certain places to add in title screens where appropriate using the 'T' button on the right hand side of the panel. For the majority of our titles, we chose to use the same title style, and the same font - American Typewriter - to create cohesions. This particular font helped create the image of a traditional typed police report.

We could also strectch out our audio and change the fade duration in/out to control the rising tempo of our soundtrack during the institutional shots, as well as how quickly the music fades out at the end of our teaser trailer. Similarly, we could lengthen and shorten the black titled shots appropriately so that audiences would have enough time to read what was presented.

iMovie helped us to finish our production to a much higher standard, creating a cohesive and professional-looking teaser trailer. As well as being simple to use, it offered us a wide range of tools that we could experiment with to make the most of our final product.
