Rough cut 4 with notes

For this edit, I have created inter-titles throughout, using the same technique that I did for the title. However, with these I have added an overlay in alternating colours on top of every third piece of text - this is to give the effect of the font moving, or 'shaking'. This is in order to keep the movement rolling through the trailer, otherwise the action will appear to stop when the inter-titles appear, and would look jolty when the visuals began again.

I have also included my ident, where in which the soundtrack starts a few seconds before this ends (i.e. a sound bridge.) I may add a 'whooshing' sound effect at the start of the ident to fill the silence.

There was a slightly out of focus shot at the start (walking through China Town). This was intentional, but, to make this clear, I have added a 'blur' effect on this shot to enhance the effect.

Some of my audience feedback included the shots of the cup - they said that it appeared 'lame', and 'not dramatic enough' compared to the rest of the trailer. I am going to change these shots for something more exciting, perhaps some ink blooming through water.

I have added further superimposition as well as tightening the edit to the soundtrack. E.g., I have intercut two shots (around 0.5 seconds each) to give a 'jumpy' effect to synchronise with the guitar. This adds disorientation, and appears very jarring, which is the look that I am aiming for.

I have also extended the title slightly at the end, to give this more time to be read on the screen.

I still need to add the end slate with the credits.
