Drafting and Planning

Editing is what makes a film a film, the technology combines the frames for the teaser trailer to flow making it vital for me to make my editing skills on point to make sure there is no overflows of different scenes etc. Here are some of the editing techniques that I am going to be using to make my teaser trailer:

Jump cut - This is going to be one of the main editing techniques I will want to use in my teaser trailer, it's a tight cut from different scenes. I could use this to show different horror shots such as close up to blood to an extreme close up of villain making the audience scared.

Shot reverse shot - This is used in every single film as its used when two people have a conversation so you would see one shot cut to the next one then go back to the first one. This could be used to show talking in my teaser trailer to create tension with the two characters.

Dissolve - Dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another I could use this in my teaser trailer dissolving one scene of the victim to another of the villain to show how they are connected. 

Fade out - Where at the end of the scene the lighting goes duller and goes onto a blank colour normally black, I could use this at the end of my teaser trailer to try and make there be more suspense   

Straight cut - Simple editing where another frame changes into another one quickly leaving the teaser trailer running smoothly. I could use this to show a establishing shot into a long shot of main character/wide shot.
