Premiere Progression Blog Post 38

Now I have all the clip that are required for the trailer all I need to do now is to add the transitions in between these clips. Then the trailer is complete. So, the transitions.


Transition between the Shields and Arrow Shot Clip

For this transition between these two clips I choose to use Cross Dissolve. I am not really sure why I choose this transition because I think I wanted to use something different from the Film Dissolve. However, the cross dissolve and film dissolve are very similar in their own way. They both fade the clips at the start and the end of the clips. So, this was the reason why I choose this transition, because I wanted to use something different but one that is similar to Film Dissolve.

Transition between the Arrow Shot and Attacking Clip

For this transition between these clips I choose to use Dip to Black. I choose dip to black because I thought that it was going to look more effective. I think it worked a lot better for these clips than transitions such as Film Dissolve or Additive Dissolve. I think I used this because of the general darkness of the arrow clip itself. I think I liked the idea that because the clip is dark then I felt that I should then blacken the clip at the end to make it look more effective.

Transition between the Attacking and Witch 2 Clip

For these transitions I have chosen to use Film Dissolve. I choose film dissolve mainly because I thought that this would look really effective between these clips. I quite like the fading of the two clips and playing on top of one another. I suppose this works with the idea which I had with the Witch 2 clip which was that It reminded me of her looking upon the battle which is commending before her. So, this transition works between these two clips for that reason.

Transition between the Witch 2 and Escape Clip 

For this part I did not use a transition. This is because at the end of the witch clip it sort does a little fade, which I really quite liked. I quite liked the idea where it played from one clip to another with a transition for the ending. I mainly did this because I was fed up of using the same transitions through out the trailer. But this was only because I was not fond of the other transitions that was available. So I left it as it was as I said I thought it was really effective and it worked quite well for the two clips.

Transition between the Escape and Ending Title Clip

For this transition between the last clip to the ending title I decided to use Dip to Black. I choose to use this transition because I thought that it would best because the ending title background is actually black. So, I thought that the dip to black would be more effective because then it would go straight to the title, initially the writing on the title would then appear.
