In my second draft I mostly focused on editing the sound. I made sure that the whole trailer had music behind it so that the first part of the trailer wasn't just dialogue. This helps to create tension within the first part of the trailer. I also played with the recorded sound which accompanies the video. I pulled down the levels of any noise I did not need such as at the end of some clips there was a clicking sound where I was pressing the button to stop recording. To get rid of this sound I just brought the sound level of the clip down.
However, on some of the clips I had both dialogue and noise. This meant that I couldn't just bring the levels down as I had to leave it so that the dialogue could be heard. To combat this I went onto the track I wanted to edit, then I inserted some key frames by left clicking on the volume control. I could then manipulate the sound so that the volume would change half way through a shot, meaning that the dialogue could be clearly heard, but then the volume would go right down so that the noise could not be heard.
In my next draft, I will use my feedback and improve on the newsreader and research scenes. For the research scene I will move out of the classroom and re-film the scene in the library as this is a more realistic mise-en-scene. For the newsreader scene I will use the green screen to create a background that looks like a proper news room and use props such as a script or iPad to add verisimilitude. I will also then make sure that this scene goes on the TV in the kitchen scene rather than just showing the blank screen. I will also try and sort out the voice over as it is still panned to the left for some reason. I will try to find out why and fiz it for my next draft.
