Test Shot analysis


To make my film trailer I need to know how to create the various parts that will make up my trailer, this will include; special effects, sound effects and the managing of sound tracks. To make sure what I plan to create is all with in my capabilities I have created a test video of various shots to test if they function as they should and where any changes should be made when it comes to creating the film trailer.
Testing
Time in test video
Did it function properly?
What should I change?
Extended sound track
00:00 - 01:41
Yes the track did perform with great precision and all changes between tracks were subtle and were not too sudden, except one.
At 01:02 the track changed to another section and the change was too sudden as it is supposed to be a subtle change at this point, so I will amend this error for the final version.
Using FX effects
00:10 – 00:12
Yes the effect did work and was fully functional with no errors.
There is nothing to change, however the effect may want to be more carefully placed on the shot/image used.
Syncing sound to FX effect
00:22 – 00:26
Yes and no, the effects and sound synced on the first effect but not the second. And the effects showed a border that made them less convincing.
I will place sound effects more carefully when using them with effects and make sure that all FX are used in the correct position and not within a border.
Green screen effect
00:28 - 00:34
Yes, there were no errors with the green screen effect.
There were no errors but the background was slightly too bright compared to the actor so a slight change in the brightness of the green screen effect would improve the effect.
Voice and sound comparison
00:28 – 00:34
No, the track was muted during the voice.
I will move the voice track further down to its own sound bar in the editing suit which should make all sounds play without error.

By completing this test of certain shots I now know to take more care when creating these effects/shots and make certain changes that will allow the trailer to perform correctly and have no issues making it appear more professional.
