Finalising Trailer

Our lesson learnt, we did the editing in parts, not overloading & rushing ourselves to cram it into a day. Yesterday produced the "first half" up to her dates.
Happy with what was did, we continued with the "second half."

We came across problems with our editing as we hoped for a pause in the music as Rebecca announces her pregnancy. We attempted to make that moment the climax and it was fundamental to get right. The cut from the Toilet scene to just Rebecca confessing her wrong-doings. We achieved this by using premiere. Rebecca and I also had to adjust the Amy Winehouse classic to suit then length of our trailer and re-make it for the the specific lyrics we wanted to use. Using a "set in" and "set out" button on Premiere, helped us controlled the length of the clip featured and could then repeat this process, dragging the clip into action whenever I need a different section of the song. This process was challenging at times as i also had to attempt to blend the two sections of the song together to try and create a natural flow of rhythm.
Going through that editing process, to then lose our work, we looked at the positives we got from it. Although it slightly de-motivated us we began to look at it as a practice. I would like to still have the first cut, just to make some comparisons because our skills have improved and so has our confidence in using Premiere. I have made progress and now have the ability to render and upload our footage onto YouTube.
Like our ending, Rebeccas father who we enrolled as an extra for the afternoon, driving his cab. The scene was simply going to be him with Rebecca as a passenger driving off. Yet with the Premiere programme, we challenged ourselves to add title and a byline as shown below. We then had to add the sound of Rebeccas voice narrating the piece onto another audio timeline, deleting the existing audio from the clips. The two went together smoothly and the final effect flows together well!
