Editing our trailer
Rationale
After shooting our film and gathering sound and special effects to accompany scenes, we had to put them together in an authentic way. Here is a range of techniques that we used to edit our horror trailer such as jump cuts and transitions.
Jump Cuts
In the final sequence of our horror trailer, it features our 'possessed villain' walking towards the camera, we did this to try make the viewer feel 'on edge' and scared as it is like she is walking towards them. We decided to use jump cuts as it helps shock the viewer as the character 'jumps' towards them quickly and makes the character herself seem 'less human'. We ended this sequence on a close up of her eyes as makes the viewer feel watched and makes them feel apart of the trailer as she is 'looking at them'. These clips are once of the longest throughout the trailer which is used to create intensity and causes the viewer feel tense.

Fast-paced editing
Throughout the trailer, tension and action is increasing therefore as the trailer goes on the pace of it speeds up. Therefore towards the end of the trailer we have an extremely fast paced cut section where it goes from clip to clip within seconds, this is to increase tension, drama and urgency to the viewer and symbolise the fast pace known with horror films. These clips also aren't in chronological order and aren't related to one another, known as non-continuity editing.

Transition from locations and parts of film
During our trailer we go to many different locations, to take the viewers to different locations we used techniques such as titling and just basic cuts from setting to setting. The transition from the first house to the creepy house it accompanied by other changes such as music change, lighting change and mise-en-scene change (discussed more in other blogposts).
