The Only Way Is Essex

Using YouTube I was able to research similar products to the one we were planning to make, we compared each of the shows with our audience profiles and released how similar our show would be to these. We also looked at Soap Operas but they didn’t fit our audience profiles. Watching the reality shows on YouTube helped us understand the conventions of the genre we were hoping to create.

I created an account on YouTube and then uploaded our final trailer for everyone to view and to easily embed into my blog. I uploaded it straight out of iMovie on the macs which was easy as I used iMovie to edit my trailer. YouTube was a really good way for me to show my trailer to other people for feedback, It also made it easier for me to embed into my blog.

First I created a new Project.

I named my project.

Then I had a selection of themes I could choose to use but I chose a blank format because I didn’t a busy one.

I then imported all my video footage from my camera, ready to start editing.

The software on the macs was readily available to me and made working on my product much easier. The software enabled me to edit my trailer with such features as; cutting and cropping scenes, theatrical cuts, cutting, sound effects, sound levelling, ordering, adding title cards and changing the speed the clip runs at etc.

After importing my footage I began to cut certain scenes down to the size and length I needed.

I could then split the scenes if I needed to add title cards or transitions.

After getting the scenes to the size I was happy with I dropped them into my timeline so they could all be played together.

Control PanelThis button allowed me to view the product full screen.

This button allowed me to do a voice over on any scene.

This button allowed me to crop the scenes down to the frame size I needed.

This button allowed me to add music and sound effects to my product.

This button allowed me to add text over any scene.

These are the different sorts of transitions I was able to use to split my scenes up and add a bit of effect.

This is the window I used to speed up or slow down the speed of each clip.

I then used the sound bar to change the volume of the clips.
