Effects And Filters
During our horror trailer we have tried to utilise the benefits of using effects and filters by incorporating as many neccesary edits as possible. this has hopefully increased the professionality of our trailer and increase the overall aesthetic of our basic shots in an attempt to create a more industry standard appearance, although we are aware of the possibility of 'over-editing' does not occur. we have used many of the available effects and filters available on Final Cut Express, which include:
- Invert
- Colour correction
- Fade in/Fade out
- Overlays
- Motion Backgrounds

this screenshot shows an extract of our timeline. as you can see, we have used many effects and filters in just this section. This is during the start of the trailer, and as we want to set a fast pace, we have used small split-second shots from our film to create a fast paced flicker effect. we have then used the Invert filter to make the colour of each shot inverted which gives us a flash effect. this combined with the numurous fade in and fade outs we have used so far, help to make this part of our timeline much more effective and gives it a proffesional finish. And as opposed to the original dull colours we had before editing, we have used colour correction to give a more low key look and create a more horror related ambience to the trailer. (jordan)

This picture shows another extract from our horror trailer. in this extract we have used only two effects. these are the fade in/fade out effect and the color correction tool. We have tried to use as little effects as possible in this part of our trailer as we dont want the viewers to be distracted by any 'over-editing' that may occur from the use of excessive effects/filters. although we have only used two effects here, it still provides a clear and modern look on what we have hoped to achieve. where we have broke up the transitions between fades and clean cuts, it will hopefully keep the viewer focussed on the trailer, as variety will engage them more than a mediocre trailer with very similar transitions.
