Clips for Promotional Video


I began to start looking for clips I would use for my video bearing in mind that my film is horror and the whole storyline of the 1 minute promotion video should all make sense with my DVD cover(the description I wrote) but not so much of the DVD label as this is just an image. Whereas with the cover I have images and a short description. Fortunately I did not use any images of characters because at that stage I was unsure how I would go about things when it came to my promotion I didn’t think about this at that time. So my characters just have their names on my DVD cover but not any images.
I came across films such as The Possession, The Grudge and Amityville Horror which had a storyline quite similar to mine so I could use these as examples to look at. Out of these films I used clips from the Amityville Horror most but did look at the other films trailers for ideas on how I should create mine. These trailers were much longer than mine this meant it was a bit harder to fit the storyline in such a short amount of time but I think that I can do this. I wanted my trailer to have a family who have been tormented by a person from a different past which has come to haunt them and Amityville horror was a perfect film to use, this doesn't mean that I used all of my clips from this film but most of it is due to continuity such as I didn't want a different house, scene or people I wanted this to remain the same. I may download the whole film so that I can get clips that are on the trial or movie clips, so I can find better parts. 


I have provided below to some links to clips I may use for my promotional video. 

I used firefox to download the videos I wanted to use for my trailer, I tried to get different videos and from different films, I also made sure that the clips were good quality.  Before I began starting to create my promotional video I familiarized myself with premiere, the different tools and using the different effects. I tried to get good quality clips, minimum quality as 480p anything lower than this I would not use it, preferably 720p but if I liked a clip which was of lower quality than this I would therefore use it.
