CRYPTID
FOOTAGE IN LINE WITH PRODUCTION PLAN
https://youtu.be/W2epk2nnabQ?si=IvAB5LrA_gaGezYE (Please make sure this is on 1080p)
For this, I've simply laid out the order of my clips, some of which were free to use from youtube due to my inexperience with producing certain effects. (The glitching effect was found as a free to use effect.
In order to improve this, I plan to add a glitching sound effect, using text over the black clips to specify the release date and also add my credits for branding, which connotes that the trailer is made professionally. I will mute the clips in order to add another over the top, helping to connote an eerie feel by using a sound that fits more into the horror genre, I also have some sounds ready which are sampled from other recordings I have created and not used for this edit, however, I think it stops them from going to waste.
I won't use any transitions between the clips, as I hope to create a fast paced trailer to fit within the small time limit I have set for myself, also connoting tension and building up some sort of anticipation for what is to come within a full movie. I will also add to this mysterious and eerie atmosphere I hope to have by using filters over the top, maybe darkening the shadows to put more focus on what Is happening in the centre of the screen. (this won't apply for the last clip as the entire thing is dark enough and hard to see, its current state works fine in my opinion
APPLYING PLANNED VISUAL EFFECTS + Audio

This is the first edited version of my trailer, and as you can see I used the majority of my ideas mentioned in the offline edit.
I added the text over the top of the black clips, keeping my Production name bold at the beginning to connote importance. I then used the same small font throughout the rest of the trailer as it feels handwritten, as if it's been put there by a victim of the creature shown in my trailer. I added a glitching animation on most of my text too, as to tie it in with the glitching clip I added above some of my recordings. Glitching is also a common aspect in lots of horror movies, so I took this idea and used it in my trailer as something to further connote the genre.
For my sound effects, I also used a glitch sound effect (stock due to not being able to create a good enough effect) this sound is used multiple times throughout the trailer, editing the length of it for different parts. Then I sampled audio from my other recordings, with the breathing sound effect being added after I recorded myself breathing into a microphone. This could have been done during the recording stage, however, the audio was grainy and contained too much background noise which ruined the mood I was trying to create. There's also the use of a heartbeat sound, created by tapping on a desk to imitate beating, this sound quickly gets faster as the trailer moves along, connoting a sense of panic and hopefully inducing some tension within the audience
I added a filter over the top of each clip, darkening the clips to create a more ominous tone to further connote horror.
These pictures show my editing of the offline edit, adding the sound and the text onto the clips, unfortunately I had to transfer all my work over to a portable app called CapCut, which allowed me to work on the trailer at home and complete it.
Like mentioned before, Transitions were kept to a minimum, considering I wanted my trailer to remain fast paced I stuck with simple clipping between shots to connote suddenness, keeping my trailer short and straight to the point as I intend for it to be more of a teaser trailer than anything. There’s also the use of filters over the top of any audios, for example the breathing sound I created has a radio type filter over the top, making it blend more with the clip as if it were a part of it to begin with.
