For my trilogy trailer mashup, I used Star Wars, Episode I, II, and III, mostly focusing on the transformation of Anakin to the dark side. I spent a substantial amount of time editing this and I believe it turned out pretty well. One of the biggest challanges was to get everything to flow nicely as I cut, mixed, and added footage from the three movies. Another huge challenge was to get the dialogue flowing nicely and having other footage overlaying dialogue (if you had a chance to look at my audio tracks, it was a mess!). Overall, I still kept it in a chronological order, however mixed footage up to make each episode flow nicely into the next. I used alot of blending techniques as well as audio layers to give it the effect of one trailer playing throughout. I also inlcuded some foreshadowing footage from Episode III in the beginning of the trailer, from when Anakin was just a child. Nonetheless, having the audio sync in well was actually the biggest challenge overall. Finally, in the end, I showed the overall before and after transformation of Anakin to conlude the trailer.
