Rough Cut

Today we completed our rough cut however we are yet to add in the sound. We have created titles and graphics to use amongst the teaser trailer, which included a company logo (Lionsgate) a review quote from "Total Film" and the title animation of the film name. We chose Lionsgate as they are a company that recently funded "Harry Brown" - a film of the same genre as ours. We also kept the title as a relatively low-key animation, as the film is not a big hollywood blockbuster. 

We edited the sequence with the intention of promoting our genre to the audience, without giving too much knowledge of the plot away. We tried not to have too many similar and long shots, and therefore aimed to use a wide variety of shots, all short in length. Generally we were happy with this, but realise the trailer doesn't yet hold much pace to it.

Sound is still needed as it will play a key part in the trailer. For example in the "Harry Brown" trailer the non-stop drum and bass helps to achieve a sense of fast paced action and excitement. Therefore we will begin to start creating a soundtrack that helps build the pace of the trailer, and fits in with the genre.

Below is a screenshot from our rough cut. This shows the alleyway location we used, and the scene where one gang member shoots a member of the opposing gang, shortly after doing the drug deal:
