Final Stages of Editing

Today we are getting to the final stages of editing our teaser trailer. We have taken into account some of the feedback we have received from comments on YouTube and from our classmates. (Both target audience!!!!) and friends and family. It was positive about the fast editing, they said it was tense. However, they didn't get the full impact of our trailer because we've yet to find music that matches the pace and genre of our teaser.
We weren't completely happy with the pace in the middle of our trailer; it dragged and didn't build up tension fast enough, therefore we have corrected this by removing a knife scene. We have also added a filter to the last shot of Dean tied up because it was on an iPod, so we wanted to represent this to the audience by adding a raster filter. The filter we have added gives the clip a more digital look giving the representation that the scene that Alex is viewing is in real time.
Finally, after researching music from other horror films and lots of searching for suitable music on YouTube, we have found a piece of music to use at the end of the trailer. It is a fast paced piece with a ticking in the background that builds up. We really liked this because it supported our theme of time. However, we are still yet to find the perfect creepy music to slowly build tension at the beginning.
