iMovie gave me the ability to adapt my shots to suit my needs. By opening a 'Video Inspector', I am capable of applying qualities to each individual shot. It allows for the duration of shots to be changed through text alongside its feature of manually cropping. I found the 'Video Effect' feature to be particularly useful. It gave me the option to place a filter over my shots. Because my actors were only available between the hours of 1pm-3pm, I was incapable of filming at night. It would also be unsafe for me to film at night. Therefore, for shots of which I wanted to take place at night, iMovie gave me the ability to use the 'Day into Night' filter. This made the shots appear like they were filmed in the nighttime despite being made in the middle of the day. 'Video Inspector' also gave me the ability to change the speed of each shot. This could be done manually by siding a bar closer to a turtle symbol or a hare symbol for slowness and speed respectively. It can also be done through inputing a percentage of speed with 100% being normality. I used the faster speed to make chase scenes appear more intense. Stabilisation allowed for me to smooth any motion within a clip. This was helpful as my shots were filmed with a handheld camera and this tool steadied my clips. I used the audio tab to mute the majority of my shots by sliding the volume bar to 0%. I did this as the main sound used within my trailer was the background music.
