Editing "The Cure" trailer:

As you can see I print screened my process to edit my trailer using Final cut Express. At first, I wasn't able to speed up or slow down my chosen scenes, in order to create a particular mood and atmosphere. However, every time I did so, I had to consider whether it was conventional for my film genre and the audience that I'm addressing this to. I believe that using slow motion, allowed me to highlight the significant moments within the couple lives. Also, if I did speed it up instead of slowing it down it will appear too comic and my demographic audience are an older generation which with the help of my research - enjoy a more serious genre films.

However, looking at this photograph, it shows that I speeded up this particular passage ( from 100% to 134.97%). The reason for doing this is because it's an establishing shot and therefore it doesn't have to be slow, since it's not highlighting anything in particular. Although as soon as the camera reaches the cafe's top it potrays where the next scene is going to take place in. Since, it's an Indiewood film within this scene you can see cars passing by, which is conventional even in a Hollywood film. However, unlike in Hollywood movies, this wasn't staged intentionaly.
