Post 5 - Rate Stretch Tool

The rate stretch tool was highly effective tool for my trailer. As the the game is an action shooter i wanted to make the trailer fast paced. Many of the original clips used were too slow for use and at the original speed they would have disrupted the flow and atmosphere the trailer intended to create. Therefore i sued the rate stretch tool to cut down the length of clips and play the same content in a shortened time frame. This tool was also used to increase  the clip length, not just for the speed of the clip but also to give greater time to better quality clips that presented a more interesting game.

This is the tool i used mist often in comparison to the other tools in premiere pro CS6. The tool allowed be to increase and decrease the amount of time certain clips played for. This was more effective than the tools such as the ripple edit because the speed was automatically adjusted accordingly to the change in time played. For example i have lengthened the "God of War" clip because i wanted to create a dramatic effect and with the audio of the clip, the pace change has worked beneficially for the overall trailer as it gives a more action paced trailer with the movement of pace form clip to clip. I have used this tool for the "splinter cell" clip however this time to shorten the time it plays to create a juxtaposing effect and to allow the clip to focus on the fast combat engagement.
