Bussing Sequence

With this trailer we had to decide what sort of things we wanted to involve in our trailer, however the main technique to include was a bussing sequence. We decided to use a common bussing sequence with someone looking into a mirror then away and then having the camera looking away from the mirror and then back to it with someone there.
we used many short sequences and close ups to create a quick intense trailer and with quick cuts we tried to create a fast, heart racing sequence.
Of corse without the best technology we couldnt but we tried our best!
To improve the trailer i deffiantly would of made the editing slicker and faster with quicker cuts to enhance the mood of the trailer.
I believe the trailer does following the structual paradigms we have a helpess girl character running away in an abondoned school with a strange, scary character finding her.

Editing:

I found the editing quite hard at first, getting used to the different techniques that you can use and what buttons to press to create certain effects took awhile but it does deffiantly help make the trailer look more real.
To create this short trailer it took awhile because we found it hard to use the tools on the macs to create slow scenes and fast scenes, scenes that we wanted to cut and finding the correct place to cut bits so i think we are going to need alot more practice to get our final trailers done it time and to look the best that they can be.

Filming: Whilst we were filming we tried to follow the rule of one in three close ups so we focused on hands opening the door, close up of the face scared, doors opening, we tried to really create this intense sequence where the audience was constantly expecting something to happen.
We also used a mid shot and an over the shoulder shot of the bathroom door opening behind me which cuts to a close up of my face with the bathroom door still opening. We decided that this would create the idea of panic with a quick cut and something opening the door.
We used long shots of me running and trying to open doors. We also decided to film from my feet with me running away from the camera to the door trying to open it, we thought this would be a nice scene to use where the whole setting is included.
