Video Editing

     I continued to edit my footage during today's lesson, learning more about how to use iMovie through trial and error. I did lots of filming in various shops around Southend High Street, and had plenty of footage to choose from.  I chose the clips involving a range of different camera shots and types in order to make the trailer more interesting and eye catching. 

The footage I filmed can be seen in the bottom left-hand corner. From these, I chose shots with a range of angles and camera shot types. There is a mixture of close-ups as well as establishing and mid-shots. I had to discard some shots due to the camera being too shaky, however luckily I had lots left to choose from. I also tried to show a range of materialistic items to represent both genders, as it very easy to focus on female materialism.

At the end of the trailer, I chose to use the text 'pixie dust' for the name of my documentary. It is sparkly and I thought it represented the idea of materialism well, as it is a glitzy transition and has an expensive, high-class feel.

At the end of the trailer I featured the production team and sponsors of my documentary. This is an important feature of a trailer, which I observed was at the end of most of the trailers I analysed.
