Review From A Professional

Oscar Stringer reviewed my Film Trailer and gave feedback on what editing/cutting and changing I could do to the trailer.

- Cut out some of the van scene as it caused the trailer to lose intensity and dragged too much.
- Work the music to fit in and sort out any silent parts of the trailer which could effect the momentum and speed of the trailer.
- In the final 30 seconds, make sure that all the clips are near enough the same length to make the tension rise even more.

This was the first outcome of the trailer after editing. (still not finished or finalized)

Questions for a professional



This is the link to the first draft of my Film Trailer. I would appreciate it if you could comment below on these questions to help me create my second draft of the video. 

1. In the scene when the car is pulling up and pulling away from the building, should I cut the shots closer together along with cropping some of the background to make the car the center of attention? 

2. When the man is swinging the golf club, does it give you the impression that someone is being hit and provoke violence?

3. In the final part of the trailer when the man is kitting himself up, do you think the instrumental suits by building up the suspense till the moment the gun is fired?

4. With my Institutional logo 'OWB Production Entertainment', do you think the filter I put on still shows lots of detail with the logo or do you feel it looks more faded?

5. The text I used was from 'Skyfall'. From research I figured that 'Skyfall' would be the most suitable text to use for the style of film. Do you think the text fits in well with the style of trailer?

Thank you for your time and I hope to receive some valuable feedback on my Production Task.
