Editing our Soap Trailer: Visual Effects

The visual effects we used were:

• Slow Motion- This effect placed emphasis on certain significant parts. We used this when there is a fight in the soap trailer. The slow motion exaggerates the action in the trailer and makes it appear more powerful.  
• Shake- This effect made the camera visually move, creating a sense of confusion or dis-orientation. We used this effect when Mark shook/pushed away his girlfriend- it is quite effective as it almost makes the audience feel or experience what the characters are going through.

The transitions we used were:

• Cross Dissolve
• Blur
• Directional Angle

We used these effects and transitions as they made the soap trailer visually exciting as well as moving the pace of the trailer on. The trailer appears faster with effects and transitions; therefore, this makes the trailer's pace fast and exciting as well as appealing more to the audience.
