Description:
Is it possible for an amateur who’s more at home with YouTube videos than Hollywood, to craft a trailer that doesn’t just fall flat?

Inside the Video:

The Challenge: I've got a short film, penned and produced by my girlfriend Ashley. She's handed it over with a simple yet daunt
ing task: edit this film and make a trailer. Easy, right? Well, let's see about that.

From Amateur to Aspiring Editor: Follow my journey as I navigate the uncharted waters of Hollywood-style trailer editing. No sugar-coating, just the raw and real process of transforming a short film into a trailer that might just be worth watching.

For the Creative Minds: Whether you’re a filmmaker, an editor, a YouTuber, or just someone who loves a good story, there’s something in this for you. Watch the transformation from a few clips to a coherent, stylish story.

The Real Talk: No fluff. Just a straightforward depiction of the trials and tribulations of editing a film with zero Hollywood experience.

The Outcome: Will this trailer be a hit or a miss? You be the judge.

I'm Hayden Hillier-Smith. On this channel I will break down what makes good editing...pulling back the curtain on how editors make the choices to keep YOU, THE AUDIENCE, engaged. This includes showcasing the creative choices I have made. I hope you can learn something new and inspire you to edit.
