Illicit Obsession: The Final Cut (15/02/17)

This is the final cut of our trailer - by which, we mean that all footage has been integrated, it has a voice-over, soundtrack, and has been colour-graded and we are happy with the result. All that remains is a few last finishing touches (which will be outlined below) and possibly some audience feedback, in-case we can improve it even further.

Improvements to be made:

Footage audio error
When it cuts to the character Alice after the line "Not getting my usual rounds lately", you can hear the end of the word 'lately' being repeated. This can be fixed by muting the audio for the small segment where this happens, or cutting the clip down slightly to get rid of it.


Soundtrack 2 audio error
When the hand covered in blood drops, a similar effect to the one described above occurs, in that the sting we use repeats slightly. We can fix this by cutting it down, replacing it or removing it entirely for this shot.

Soundtrack 2 volume error
Some of the stings (where it isn't lowered for Anon's voice-overs) clash in that they aren't exactly the same volume. We can fix this by organising them clearly on the timeline (perhaps changing their colour so it isn't confusing) and making sure the volume is consistent for when Anon or another character isn't speaking, as at the moment it is a bit mis-matched. We will also need to perform these checks for Soundtrack 1 and make sure it's on a different audio track on Premiere Pro.

Audience feedback
After these issues have been fixed and my group and I are happy with the trailer, I'd like to show it to a select few target audience members to get their opinion on it and to see if there are any issues they can spot.
