The trailers ham-fisted editing makes it very clear who the "good guys" and "bad guys" are. Or are we saying that Nadia Bolz-Weber is portrayed the same way as Tom Ascol?The music of the trailer was corny but documentaries use effects like that. White also pointed out that in the trailer there is a shot of Ascol looking glum accompanied by the narration "we've been played". If we follow the logic used by those who said they were attacking Denhollander then we would say the trailer was suggesting that Tom Ascol had "played us". But no-one made that point. Apparently the editing was completely arbitrary in regards to Ascol but deliberate in regards to Denhollander.
Every single time a clip of someone not on Founders side comes up in the trailer it has a filter over it. Usually adding a kind of gray effect, but in the case of Nadia Bolz-Weber and Rachel Denhollander it's a yellowish tone. Their clips also comes up at the same timing with the same scary sound effect in the music.
All those in the interviews and the Founders themselves have clear lighting no extra effects or any nonsense. No blurred image of Tom Ascol flashes up on screen accompanied by scary music.
It's not just the timing of the words, it's everything about the editing. It is entirely lacking in style and subtlety. Frankly, anyone who can't see the message the trailer was sending via the effects and music has got to be kidding themselves.
