First Trailer

iMovie editing While using iMovie I have learnt how to edit clips to make them shorter, I have learnt how to edit sounds into the clips and how to put filters over the clips. I have included both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds in this trailer. The non-diegetic sounds being the footstep, and diegetic sounds being the songs. I could improve on adding more sound effects, more happy/ comedy clips. I could also try to add more filters in to create more of a happy feeling, instead of using the black and white filter at the beginning.
