Somewhere earlier in the blog (in the viral marketing section), we mentioned that to boost viral marketing for the finished video, we would have a trailer out to alert people of our short film. Unfortunately, due to events that have left me without decent editing software and timing uses, we are not able to create a trailer for the blog.
Due to time, the main editor Dave Waters finished the final product with days to spare, and with the arrival of this final editing task didn’t want to spend more time editing. So, to help him out, I decided to edit the video myself with editing software I thought was able to make a trailer video without any major problems. What Dave Waters used was Pinnacle, an editing software that was there same as the schools (he had a newer version of this software. What I had was software that came free with my Panasonic Camcorder: HD Writer AE 2.0 and I thought this was fine. However, I later found out that not only was what I had almost impossible to get how I had envisioned the trailer to be like, but the final product could be edited on my software. I had to use my camcorder to video the scene I planned on using for the trailer so that it became compatible with the software. 
After spending a considerable amount of time making the trailer, I knew that other parts of the blog needed looking at, I decided that the trailer wasn’t going to be made. Even though one would have been nice, short films don’t normally present a trailer for their short film because the films are too short to make a decent trailer from it and also the film itself is a form of advertisement, but more for the director to be recognised. Nonetheless, a trailer has not be edited together.
