Editing plan

Types of editing that will be used:

• Quick cutting
• Match on acition
• Transitions
• Effects
• Cutting
• Voice overs
• Back ground muisc
• Diagectic sound
• Non-Diagetic sound

The editing process that we will start will envolve all of these conventions we plan to have a jumpy trailer that uses quick cutting to create and unnerving atmosphere for the viewer. However we would like to start the trailer with slow highly lite scenes and shots of the characters to lul the audience into a fails sense of security. This will evolve happy music that keeps the audiences spirits high, then we will have a sudden change of style. The cutting will become quick and the transitions will be fast as well. We plan to cut moments of the death scenes with one of the blogs talking about the ghost hunt and other moments in the film like when strange things start to happen. Diagectic sound will be used for things like voices and non diagectic to create the atmosphere, the idea is that if the audience is made to feel u easy just from the trailer then they will be impressed and want to go see the film, much like what the paranormal activity 2 trailer does.the 180 degree rule will always be applied as well as shot reverse shot where it is needed. We plan to use shot reverse shot in one part of the trailer when John talks with James this is the only face to face convocation in the entire film so it is important to pay attention to the 180 degree rules so we do not confuse the audience. Match on action will be used carefully throughout the editing process especially in the scene that involve going through doors much like in the beginning of the science room scene when the ghost is first sighted. These rules such as match on action and shot reverse shot are vital for the trailer not just because they keep a film looking professional but because with out them it could annoy and confuse the audience and put them off coming to see the film so it is vital we get it write, the editing process is often the most important part of the production of the trailer.
