Firstly after opening windows MovieMaker I had to import all my videos which I had created/filmed, by clicking the import media button and choosing them from their various folders.
Stage 2.
I could then drag and drop the parts I wanted into my timeline at the bottom (this is how I added things to start making the trailer Video parts such as Images/Filming go into the Video Timeline and Audio such as sounds/music go into Audio Timeline which is below the Video one.)
Stage 3.
As images are automatically set to being 5seconds long which is too long for this particular image to be shown, I had to alter the amount of time it would be on screen for, to do this i dragged the end in. Note: (see how the green bar moved this indicates where my film ends.)
Stage 4.
The next stage of creating my trailer was to add another image but this time overlap it onto the first one so that it automatically fades into the next image, as it is shown on the picture there is a blue thick line at the bottom of the second picture which slopes down to a point which is on the first one this is indicating the change of picture by fading.
Stage 5.
On this stage the picture is showing how I added my affects on this one I am only adding fade from black so it doesn't look like a big jumbled mess from the image before.
Firstly I right clicked the image that I wanted to add affects to then clicked on the affects tab.
I could then easily choose whatever affects I wanted to put onto that image/clip by choosing from the scroll down menu.
Stage 6.
Next stage was to add and cut videos, to do this you do it the same way as setting the time limit to a image being show but choose what part of the video you want to be shown. Below is a more detailed look at how to do it.
Firstly I would choose the clip that i wanted to inset into my timeline for my trailer, by dragging onto the timeline then dropping, (see the highlighted clip which i chose.)
I then zoomed in onto the clip so I could choose more accurately where I wanted to start my clip from.
To zoom in I used this button, when zooming in it doesn't make you closer to the screen it makes the time spread out.
This is the same clip as above but zoomed in, notice how the seconds have become much larger making the clip seem alot longer but in fact it is exactly the same length.
So here I have chosen to start my clip at 7 seconds, as shown by the green line.
This screen shot shows how to drag the clip to cut it, you start from the red square which is the beggining then drag it to where you would like to finish the cut. (in this case 7 seconds in.) Note; the purple highlighted part of the clip is the part which is being kept.
I then chose where I wanted the clip to finsih as indicated by the green line in the picture.
Again repeating the process as before to cut the clip down I dragged the end of the clip to where I wanted it to end. as shown by the red box and arrow. (Note the purple highlighted part of the clip is the part which is being kept.)
This screenshot shows the finished clip which had been cut down to the exact part which I wanted to add to my trailer. This is the method I went through with all the clips that I used in my trailer. After cutting them down to the part which I wanted I could add affects the same way as I did for the images.
Stage 7.
After doing this process to all of the images and videos that I needed to have to create my trailer, I started importing my music/sound affects to go with the trailer.
Stage 8.
To insert the music to play with my trailer I drag and dropped it underneath the Video timeline, into the Audio/Music timeline.
Stage 9.
I then chose the pieces of music and the certain sounds I wanted from my clips of music by using the same process for clipping down the videos and images.
Stage 10.
If certain clips of music where to loud and when played with other clips it really stood out I could change the volume on that certain clip by right clicking on it and selecting volume.
After selecting the volume tab this box comes up where I can choose how loud I want that certain part of my audio.
Stage 11.
Using all of the techniques I have shown above I created the trailer exactly how I wanted it to be. Tell me what you think?
