15. How the trailer plays

Again, as my plot changed during this module I'd like to just make a small outline of what my trailer should play out with some screenshot of the trailer when it is playing.

The trailer will started with a subdued flash of the Tolkien logo, this immediately links it to an already existing franchise.

This has a dip to black effect at the end which then melds into a scene with Saruman. I've arranged clips from the Hobbit in a backwards order so that it seems as though Saruman is raising Sauron instead of banishing him.

This process covers almost a third of the 1 minute duration we were set for the trailer. Following this I have selected to use some Dialect between Gandalf and Saruman, this explains the story that the film would theoretically follow.

This is one of the places where I had to tactically use a dip to black to make the scenes fit in a more professional manner. At the end of this dialect sequence I used a dip to black again, but this time for dramatic effect. I wanted the speech at the very end to tail off and using this transition definitely helped achieve the result I wanted. Straight after this dialect ends the scene changes into the main villains of the trailer, it shows them riding out followed by their leader donning his garb. 

It will end with a short sequence of one of the Ringwraiths turning round to the viewer. Again for dramatic effect I cut the backing track at this point so that the final line could be heard clearly with no distraction. 

The trailer ends on a Title page as they typically do. 

I struggled to get the dimensions completely correct for this and had to re-edit this multiple times in Photoshop so that it would fit the widescreen. 

This is the title page for the very end of the trailer, as you can see it has become stretched from excessive editing, but it does fully show on the screen with the dimensions set in premiere.
