Pulse of Darkness is a trailer which involves a great deal of powerful shots to capture the audience’s attention. Thankfully after the late start of the whole group editing we were one of the first groups to finish their production. Since day one my group have been working hard constantly to get our production completed to the best standard. We made some dramatic changes like changing the title for instance our new title for our production is 'pulse of darkness.' The title sums up the whole production by providing the audience with an element of what the trailer will be about. We have tried to include all the elements and key conventional concepts of the horror genre.

On the whole working in a group where there has been confrontations, disagreements, but fun, laughter, understanding, as well as a lot of jokes where I always wanted to put Beyonce’s song irreplaceable and Jojo- baby its you in the production, however learning from each other we have been able to produce an outstanding piece of work which reflects in our production. Personally it has been an experience in itself working within a group of three fabulous people where I have had the opportunity as well to develop my knowledge of the subject which I hope will help me in the future. The expertise of the mentors has also contributed to bringing the editing to another level. Working together with them as well has been an eye opener.

Furthermore the end product entails a women besotted with her lover due to the fact that he betrayed her for other women due to the circumstance the character becomes vindictive and inflicts pain on other women to gain self satisfaction. The trailer reflects part of the film by the use of different shots including panning shots and low key lighting. As a matter of fact one the scenes shot previously through sheer amateurism was included in the final draft as it was considered to reflect the mood of that scene.

Finally viewing the trailer gave us a sense of achievement and fulfilment, thus preparing us for the next challenge.
