Above is the TV Trailer created for 'Society Salem', using 'Final Cut Pro' and distributed on YouTube and other social media platforms. This was created using footage created specifically for the show using actors and real life settings, the voice over was also originally created to narrate the plot of the show and intrigue the viewer. However, some footage as well as the music was taken from a copy right free online source called 'Pixabay', as this was footage and music that could not be created at the time. After each shot was filmed, it was then exported into 'Final Cut Pro' and then edited, each piece of footage had a dark blue filter over the top to create an ominous and moody effect, this was for scenes when the theme of magic was not involved. While on the other hand, when scenes including themes of magic and the supernatural were shown, a bright yellow/orange filter was overlayed onto the footage. After the footage had been put together, this being done by cutting each piece of footage to my likening and utilising common film industry tropes of editing such as: smash cuts, cut aways, jump cuts, etc to create an immersive effect. After this, the already chosen music was overlayed on top of the footage, this was done so in a way in which each scene cut to the beat of the music to create a more dramatic and suspenseful effect. Lastly, the voice over was put over the top of the music and footage as to narrate what was being shown on screen. I had to cut the voice over into four pieces as the correlate with the pace of the footage and music, again to create a dramatic effect. This was then uploaded and distributed onto YouTube for the target audience to see.
Above is the FCPX interface for the sound effects, voice over and music for the both the Radio and TV Trailer, these were used as background noise to immerse the viewer within the Trailer. This was an essential part of the trailers as it helps create a narrative and realistic world that the audience can immerse themselves in. The voice over was created to narrate important aspects of the show that may not be visible to the viewer, such as the main characters name, the specific setting and an overall message of what the show entails (e.g., magical powers and the supernatural). The music was needed to create suspense and drama within the trailer, without it the ominous effect may have been taken away and would not have been as engaging for the viewer and listener.
Additionally, above is the FCPX timeline for the TV trailer, this showcases where each piece of footage has been placed and in what order, where the music has been placed, the timing in between each piece of footage, the labels and names of the footage, etc. This showcases evidence that the TV trailer is my own and not sourced from any other sight.
