We watched some teaser trailers to give us editing ideas and inspiration- these were The Omen, Strange Days and Star Wars. We also watched the opening to an episode of The Affair. Watching this wide range of genres, was interesting to look at in terms of editing, because they use a multitude of techniques that we were influenced by.
Using effects post-production to make one side of the protagonist's face dark while the other half is light.
Black screens are used between shots in the Star Wars trailer, to increase the suspense. This was really effective when used with faced-paced straight cut editing.
Contrasting colours were used in The Omen and Strange Days and we have definitely utilised this in filming with the coloured flashing lights at the party, and red spotlight in the drug scene.
In Strange Days, the voiceover overlaps, giving the sense of distortion.
