Montage

Although we have drawn some storyboards showing how our trailer would look, those were just for the scenes which we were filming. Now we are drawing storyboards to show the montage of the trailer. This means the order the clips are going to be edited together. We want to create a trailer where it shows different parts of the movie in non-chronological order. So for example, we might show a shot of the abandoned house at the very start of the trailer to grab the audience's attention.

Our first edit didn't go very well because it was slow and didn't look like a horror trailer. So I spent some time looking at other horror trailers to gather some ideas. I found out that a god way of showing clips is fast and with fading to black at the end. This gives the trailer flow and works well.

This is what our trailers looks like now. I added some loud horror sound effects such as loud bangs, which work well with the titles.

This is the plan for the montage. As you can see its different to the storyboards I did because
this is for the finished trailer. some clips will not be in the same order.
