Witch 2 Clip

I will now be adding a new clip to the trailer. This clip will go after the Attacking Shot clip. This clip will be after the attacking clip. I choose this clip because it looks like the witch is watching everything happen almost by the facial head movement. I am not really sure why I choose this clip, I know I mentioned before why, but to be honest I am not really sure. I was not really sure what kind of clip I actually wanted between the attack and the final clip I have in mind. However, I feel that it works I am not sure how, but it does. I will be taking this Attacking clip from VTS_08_4_x264.

I made sure that the source tab was on in the viewing panel and dragged the walk-through to the viewing panel. I then used the In and Out Tool to make a mark at 00:11:24:21 and 00:11:26:02. . I then dragged the clip down into the Project Clips Bin and renamed it 'Witch 2'.

I then dragged the clip to the timeline at the end of the end of the music. The only problem with the clip was the writing on the clip which needed to be removed.

So, I started by separating the video and the audio, however, this time I kept the audio. I did this by right clicking on the clip on the timeline and went to Unlink. I then selected the audio and deleted it because I did not want the audio as I was going to be using different audio music for it.

 I then moved onto to resizing the clip. I did this by double clicking on the clip in the clip view panel (right hand side viewing panel) till an orange lining around the clips and had little squares which I used to resize the clip. I resized the clip that the edges of the clip were touching the overall fit of the trailer.

 I then went and cropped the clip. I did this by going to the Effects panel tab in the same section as the project bins and then went to Video Effects > Transform > Crop. I then went into the Effects Control panel to the crop settings. I then set the crop percentage for the bottom only because there is text on the clip which I do not want to be viewed in the trailer. So, I set the percentage for the bottom crop at 15%. This was enough to crop the writing and enough that it did not take up much of the clip up either. I then repositioned the clip so that the two black lines on the clip were even at both the top and the bottom of the clip.

 Here are the final results.

 I did not changed anything about this clip. I think quite like the eerie of the clip, I like how the background is really dark but you still have the lighting on the characters so you can still see them. The main reason I am not changing anything about the clip at this moment in time because I am not sure how long the next clip is going to actually be. So, at the moment I am just hoping the clip that I want next will be long enough that it will fit into between this clip and the ending title.
