The Hitcher

I decided to research the thriller trailer 'The Hitcher'. This was because its a film from the same genre, the main reason why I chose to research this trailer was to see the different titles that they have added and the times that they add them. We got a lot of inspiration from this film from looking at the editing. This was because in their trailer they have used lots of quick cuts but also added in fades etc. This was useful to see because from seeing them use it in their trailer it inspired us to use it in ours, and we did.
Also we watched this trailer a few times to figure out when we should add our titles in and what titles we should add into ours. This helped us a lot because we could see the timings of when the main titles came in and when the names of the directors came in etc. We also wanted to see where abouts on the screen the titles were, so for example where the main title actually appeared on the screen. The main title in this film appears in the middle of the screen. After seeing this we then changed our film and made the main title 'Psychotic' in the middle of the screen with a plain black background.
I think this was useful as it gave us a lot of ideas and help with where to time and put things for our own trailer. However I think if I was to do this again I would watch lots more trailers to see where they all add things in etc to help.
