3rd Rough Cut - Perfect Timing

In this rough cut I improved upon the quality of the trailer in terms of sound. I used more cross-fades so that sound did not abruptly cut in. As well as this I cut out the sound where Will says, 'You're so beautiful' as this sound wasn't of the highest quality and a hissing sound could be heard in the background. To create a better sense of professionalism I am only including sound that has been recorded well and has no 'hissing' sound.

I also added a fade to black where a MCU of Emily's hand can be seen as it flops down with a knife in her hand (implying that Emily has tried to commit suicide). This fade to black gives the audience a little bit of time to take in what has just happened in the trailer and let them adjust to and realise the fact that the scene is about to change.

In the screenshot below you can see where I have added the dip to black audio transitions. This transition can be adjusted by either lengthening or shortening it depending on how long I want it to last. This may be adjusted in later rough cuts if I feel a different length will be more effective.

The inter-titles I used have been re-arranged and the font changed. At 1:00 I now have a quote that is a mixture of lower case (for the quote) and upper case (for where the quote has come from). An inter-title simply saying 'THIS SUMMER' has also been added which lets the audience know when they should expect the film and look out for it in the cinema. The colour of the font has remained the same (white font on a black background) as I believe this simplicity really captures the audience's attention as there is nothing in the background to distract from the text itself.

The font that I have changed these inter-titles to convey the more serious, drama aspect of my trailer (as it follows the drama genre). This is coming away from the more 'rom-com' idea that was portrayed in my 2nd rough cut through the different font. I think the more serious font is a better choice as it gives more of an emphasis to Emily's depression instead of Emily and Will's relationship.
