Have you ever wanted to make your own movie trailer, but not really had the money or resources to do so? Well believe it or not just having a cheap video camera, a video and picture software is all you need. Plus a creative imagination to help put the idea together.Once you've created an idea for a trailer, use your camera to take photos and capture video of places, events and even people who don't mind being seen.
If you are shooting to create a romantic trailer, I would recommend panning your video camera across from left to right slowly and steadily. Making sure to capture object like flowers, blue skies and waterfalls or fountains.
If however, you want to create a horror scene, then filming night-time scenes of quiet streets and abondoned areas and buildings will help to create that atmospheric feeling. Using your camera during the halloween season will encourage intensity in your shots.
When you are satisfied with your shots, load them up on you chosen media software and edit out the thing you don't want against the things you want to keep. From the software, add some special effects and titles to your project and if, unlike me, you're good with musical instuments, then create a sountrack and add it to the trailer. You can also use audio to record your voice to narate your trailer or ask someone to do the voice for you.
It's also worth creating a movie poster for your project like the one featured above. There are many tutorials online that can show you how to create an interesting movie-like poster.
Once you have completed your trailer and you are satified with the end result, show off with it to friends, family or even members of the public through social network sites.
Here's one I created earlier. It's called 'The Tomanekians: Day Of The Invaders' I'm not great with music so it may sound a little out of sync. Enjoy!
