Evaluation of Coronation Street Trailer

To be able to create my trailer I had an introduction to iMovie so that I could use the software to create and edit my trailer. I started off by learning how to import frames and to be able to split and cut scenes. I practiced this so that when it came down to doing it for my Coronation Street trailer, I would know what to do.

After doing this, we got given the Coronation Street clip. It was a set clip that everybody had to do in the class. There was a time line effect that I worked from which enabled me to insert clips that I knew that I wanted to include in my clip. The clip was a few minutes long and I had to use what I saw as 'key points' to narrow it down to 30 seconds or so. By having to do this, it involved splitting clips and deleting parts of them. By doing this you have to highlight the section you dont want and just press the 'backspace' on your key board. I was also able to adjust the volume settings. I used this tool so I could hear the key parts of the speech involved in the clip. As well as adjusting the volume, I had the choice to add music. I did this because I thought that music gave the sequence excitement and rythem. I had the choice of putting text onto my sequence but I decided not to as I didnt think that it looked right. Lastly, I uploaded my video onto youtube.
