Rough cut 2 with notes

In this cut, I have put the trailer to my own soundtrack. This has not been perfected - I need to chop and change the track in order to make it fit better with the visuals, i.e. the beat will be in synchronisation with the visual edit.

I have added another scene which involves running up and down staircases, as well as a 'car chase'. This has added a lot more movement to the trailer which builds atmosphere and tension.

I have changed the 'main scene' to black and white - I think this works well as it clearly shows the difference between the 'conversation' and the rest of the montage scenes. I also think that the monochrome effect helps to build the atmosphere.

I have changed the ending to something more dramatic - I felt as if the strobe close up of James's face worked much better, as the tension built throughout and so it felt wrong to slow it right back down again for the end. This is also a lot more punchy, and will keep the audience on their toes.

I still need to add another ten seconds of footage - I am planning for each clip to be one second long, meaning that this third section of the trailer will be the 'montage' part. Here I will add more superimposition to enhance the feeling of the trip, and to give the notion that everything is becoming more overwhelming. This will also help to build the speed and suspense.
