Use of shot transitions -TRAILER

This is the breakdown of the shot transitions and where they appear in my group's horror trailer:


 The first transition used in the horror trailer is a at 0:01 this is a Cross dissolve which we chose to use as this created a seamless transition between the Green screen and company production logo. At 0:03 a dip to black is used to separate the green screen from the first scene. Another dip to black is also used at 0:09. A cross dissolve is used at 0:26 followed by a zoom in at 0:27 in order to place emphasis on what is being said in the voice over. A dip to black is used at 0:32 to break up the scene from the Warner bros title sequence. A cut is used at 0:39 In order to speed up the plot and keep the audience interested. At 0:51 a dip to black is used along side a glitch effect. In order to add the glitch effect a video was taken from youtube and overlayed on to the clip in premiere. A typewriter effect was also added using after effects. At 1:02 we added a cut between two scenes in order to show the passing of time. Another cut was added again at 1:05, 1:07, 1:09 and 1:11 In order to create a contrast between the two settings as one is a domestic setting and the pace is really calm however the other setting is dangerous and has a sense of urgency. At 1:12 we added a cross dissolve in order to once again show that some time has passed. At 1:16 a quick dip to black is shown in order to create a quick contrast between two scenes.
The rest of the transitions in the trailer are cross dissolves. We chose to use a lot of cross dissolves throughout the trailer as we found that it was a common transition used in horror films. We also found that the cross dissolve transition helped to create a contrast between the faster clips and slower clips towards the end of the trailer.
