As I write up a pitch for a movie, I'm thinking more and more about putting together a sizzle reel for it. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it a waste of time for a screenwriter? (even a screenwriter who has an interest in producing/directing)?
The only software I know how to operate is Final Draft (I know, pathetic). Does anyone have a preference for favorite film editing software? Preferably low-cost and intuitive to operate.
Also (this should have been my first question) is it legal to use music and rip shots from movies and trailers, as long as it's solely for a pitch and I'm not selling the content itself? If so, does anyone know where one can download HD movie trailers?
Thanks!
