1st finished draft of Catzilla
https://youtu.be/suM010RZQjQ

To create this first draft I first cut down my clips then I recorded sound to use when my actors were speaking as the quality of sound was to low.
I downloaded free non copywrite sound effects and music to use in places that needed it or had low quality audio.
I downloaded and added a non copywrite colorful Tv lost signal image. And I created a news logo on power point that denotes it is the the news channels emergency message 

I use the 'inspector' tool in DaVinci Resolve to crop, reposition and layer two clips into one frame to create the news broadcast scene.

Using the 'inspector' tool I also added a green filter to my alien scenes.
I added in transitions from the DaVinci Resolve transitions and effects panels such as a glitch effect to connote the camera has been dropped. I also added simple fad to black transitions when I wanted to connote story progression.
I added visual effects such as the Catzilla Title with the DaVinci Resolve text tool. I also used the text tool to create the credits and added transitions to them to engage the viewer more to them.
I kept re-watching and listening to my edit and added multiple sound effects such as background chatter, mouse clicks, keyboard clicks, footsteps and birds singing, I did this in order to make my promo video more realistic and detailed.
I added non copywrite music to scene such as the nutering and space ship scene to make it more suspense filled, funny and to connote high adrenalin to make the scene impactful.







I added transitions to some of my sound effects to make the sound lower in its intro and outro making the change less harsh when the clip is changing scene's.

Gaining feedback 
I created an online survey using google forms to gain feedback.

the responses for this question include:
- A clearer shot of the starts as the cat gazes up to them to link better with the space ship scene
- Add more scenes of the cat interacting with the alien
- Add a scene of the cat becoming giant 'maybe the cat with a bright light on him and sinister music'
- Use a different font for the Catzilla title 



the responses for this question include:
- Add 'bright shooting across the dark sky' into the cats monolog scene





the responses for this question include:
- 'I need to know that the alien Cats will be up to no good and will make all domestic Cat's giant.'
- 'I don't understand how the cat got big and why the cat is following the alien cats through the city.'



the responses for this question include:
- Add 'dramatic music when the cat is made giant'
- Add more music
Over all my viewers had a positive experience watching the promotional video

I also asked for feedback in person and on email

Feasibility of feedback 

Overall based on my feedback my audience enjoyed the trailer and thought it was funny. However some comments included, adding an object of flight across the sky so that it looked like the cat was communicating with something, I will do this in DaVinci by using a non copywrite shooting star gif and lowering the opacity and adding a green colour filter. To add more comedy to the trailer one of my viewers suggested, having a scene when the cat increases in size, I will do this by taking an image of the cat and make it larger by using the scale tool. Finally another piece of feedback included, changing the font and adding more music this is easy to do. 



I changed my font to connote a more si-fi genre.
I changed the colour to green to foreshadow my cat alien's. 




I added in a non copywrite shooting star gif, using the inspector tool I cropped it and changed the opacity and positioned it in my skyline. This is to connote the alien space ship is flying across the sky








I added in my clips of the cat getting bigger.



To mimic my cat getting bigger I slowly enlarged an screen grab image that I removed the background from.

I positioned and enlarged the image using the inspector tool. Using the transitions tool I added in cross dissolves to make the transitions smoother.

I removed the vets booking appointment scene as I felt it was too slow for Si-fi comedy trailer conventions.



I minimized the news presenter to make it more to scale.


I experimented with my background.



I used a picture I took instead as the colours blended into the news presenter clip better.






I edited and added new sound effects to my news scene.



I edited in more non copywrite sounds using the website Pixabay and added in cross fades using the audio transitions tool.
