Emma Collins created a horror trailer using Adobe Premier Pro CC. She was able to import files, add effects like brightness and contrast adjustments, titles, downloaded sound, and cut footage together to create fast-paced edits and jump cuts. Premier Pro allowed her to include horror conventions like fade to black transitions and create a professional trailer.

- 1. Emma Collins , COWA Using Premier Pro CC To create my trailer I used Adobe Premier Pro CC. This allowed me to create a professional and conventional horror trailer. It has many features to allow me to create an effective trailer. Importing files and editing: < When you import any type of file into premier pro it appears in the small section on the left. To insert the file you drag it across and into the timeline on premier pro. < To edit you go to the effects section on the left. To use and effect you simpler drag and place it on the footage/ sound within the timeline you want to add the effect to. Using premier pro it allowed me to included conventional horror transitions such as ‘Fade to black’ I have used these throughout my trailer.

Using the Brightness and contrast effect from the visual effects section on premier I was able to brighten the image. Adding titles: As a convention of form, titles are needed to create a professional and conventional trailer. Premier has its own option for titles. You create the title and drag it into the time line on top of the footage/ space you want it to be. I downloaded my fonts from Dafont.com, once uploaded onto the computer these fonts can be used in premier pro.
- 3. Emma Collins , COWA Adding sound: I downloaded my sound from royalty free websites/youtube. I used an online converter to change them into MP3 format and imported them into my trailer. I have cut the sound using the red cutting tool to fit in with the footage seen. I have also used audio transitions such as exponential fade which are available in premier pro. Editing scenes together: As it is a horror trailer I have used fast paced cuts to create suspension and mystery. To do this on premier pro I cut up scenes so they are short and placed them together. Some scenes overlap to create quick jump cuts. Premier has also allowed me to speed up clips, by right clicking on a piece of footage and then changing the duration.
