With all of the filming done we decided to edit everything together. We went through all of the footage of the villain and picked the 'walking scenes' that we thought looked the best and began to cut them into segments, putting each segment in between a clip of the victim, to achieve the beginning of our storyboard where it cuts from the villain walking to the girl squirming. We added a fade effect to the end and beginning of each clip, a well-worn editing technique used in horror trailers as it creates a slow, drawn-out feel which adds to the suspense and tension. This sequence will continue until the pivotal moment of the trailer - the villains first reveal, where we see his face for the first time. This was filmed using a panning shot, swooping the camera from behind the villain, to eventually look round at his face where he was smile maliciously and tip his hat.
After completing this, the editing was finally over. All we had to do then was add sound onto the trailer but first we must record the monologue and the villain's footsteps. We found an eerie tune of a piano to play in the background constantly, instead of Placebo's "Running up that Hill" which was our initial idea. We added a 'boom' sound effect to the title screen that displays the title of the film melting away in blood, in the hope that it will impact on the audience with a sudden silence.
We will add the other sound later though the use of foley.
