Teaser & Trailer Editor Required for Independent Film We are independent filmmakers currently looking for a video editor to create a teaser and trailer from our completed feature film. Scope of Work - The trailer should be 2 minutes or less. - The teaser should be short and impactful. - The main requirement is cutting, selecting, arranging, and merging existing footage from the film to create an engaging teaser and trailer. - We will provide the film/footage and the editor will create the initial cuts based on the story and available visuals. - Title cards and credits do not need to be highly elaborate. Simple, clean, professional title/credit cards are sufficient. We will make the final adjustments ourselves. - Final background music will be added by us. However, we would like the editor to use temporary/rough music in the edit so that we can understand what type of music and mood would work well with the trailer and teaser. - The temporary music does not need to be licensed or final — it is only for reference and pacing. What We Are Looking For We want someone who understands trailer pacing, storytelling, cuts, transitions, build-up, and emotional impact. The trailer should feel cinematic and engaging without unnecessary over-editing or excessive effects. This is an independent film with a limited budget, so we are looking for someone who is comfortable working within a modest budget and can bring creative ideas to the edit. Please share your previous trailer/teaser editing work or portfolio along with your quote. We are open to discussing the creative approach after the editor has seen the film/footage.

Hi there, I can edit an engaging teaser and a full trailer (under 2 minutes) from your completed feature film footage, focusing on sharp pacing, narrative build-up, and emotional impact. Working in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, I will carefully select and arrange your best visual cuts, set up temporary reference music tracks to establish the ideal tone and rhythm, and add clean, professional title cards. I will deliver the short teaser, the sub-2-minute trailer in high-resolution MP4 format, and the temporary audio track mix so your team can seamlessly align the final score later. Would you like to share a quick overview of the film's genre or story tone so I can align the pacing style right from the start? Best regards, Mohinder

Hi there, **Understanding of the project:** You need an experienced film editor to create a compelling teaser trailer for an independent film. The goal is to capture the film’s tone, story, emotion, and visual identity while building curiosity and excitement without revealing too much. **My solution:** I’ll carefully review the footage, identify the strongest dramatic and emotional moments, and create a tight narrative-driven teaser with cinematic pacing. I can handle editing, transitions, music/sound design, dialogue balancing, titles, basic visual effects, and color enhancement. I’ll focus on creating tension and a professional theatrical feel while matching the director’s vision. **Questions:** 1. What is the desired teaser duration and delivery format? 2. Do you have a reference trailer or specific cinematic style you want to match? 3. Will the final footage, music, sound effects, logos, and title assets be provided? I’d be happy to review your footage and discuss the creative direction. **Please chat with me in Freelancer chat so we can discuss the project and get started.** Warm Regards, Amit
