Once again we used Premier Pro to edit our trailer, taking out the repetitive torture parts, and carefully adding in the phone call scene to intertlink with Dean.
As you can see we combined the music which was a hit & miss chance as we had no idea how well each track would compliment the other, but it worked well and i believe it is absolutely necessary to have the slower music at the start.
Nick had the idea to have the sound of lightening at the begininng of the trailer, to represent the location of rainy England, we used this sound effect over a frame of Big Ben, and then added in a flashing effect to match the lightening sound. We meant for the flashes to be between shots of Big Ben and the torture scene, however during editing a shot of Mia running ended up in there, and just as we were about to delete it, we realised it looked alright and kept it in!
The text '20th Century Fox Presents' is layered over these scenes in the white typeface as used for the other text pieces. This text also flahes to be visable and non visable.
Directly after this is the logo for 'Regency Films' which gives a very polished and proffesional look to the overall trailer.
My favourite part however of the new and improved effects we have added is the split screen of the phone calls, which allows us to see Mia and simultaneously, as well as their facial reactions. The split screen allows a range of different views and angles to be shown on screen concurrently. It allows the audience to get an idea of time also, as split screen is a sign that these two situations are happening at the exact same time in the movie, but in different locations. It is a common convention throughout trailers, especially thrillers as there tends to be alot happening, as was inspired from the Taken trailer, previously analysed as shown below;
