Today I was told that I had to edit a trailer for the short film Soft. This is a short 15 minute film about a gang that has beaten up a boy, and then harasses his father while at the shop. The gang then follows the boys dad back to the house and begins to harass them again when the boy leaves the house and hits the leader of the gang over the head with a bat.


To make this trailer I took clips from the short film that I thought showed the main aspects of the film. I however have not added any text into the trailer, in the future when creating trailers, I will be making a better edit. Going back I would add text to this trailer to give a better aspect of the short film.

Amy is Charlottes therapist who tries to help her through the tough times, but it seems to be much harder than she expected. she hasn't had a client like Charlotte before. After a few sessions she would normally see a change is her clients, but with Charlotte it was different. No matter how hard Amy tried, nothing worked.
