Movie Trailer Critique


For second quarter are project was create a movie trailer of our choice. We first had to plan out everybody in the teams idea of a movie and see what would sound the most interesting that would grab our audience. We used a template on google that all of the members in the teas could be on at once. Then we discussed the plot, different scenes, and the characters personalities and typed it all out in the template. My favorite is when we get to go out of school with high tech cameras and tripods. All of us in the team had a good time working together and acting like we were in movies. As soon as we get to school we import all of our work onto the mac computers that we were assigned to. Theres an amount of time we had to get all of our editing done on final cut pro x. What was really helpful was when we have had rough cuts and thats when the whole class, teacher, including the team that worked on it watches it on the screen. We get to know what we did really good and what we could work on better because the more you work on it the better it is. The way I contributed was being one of the main characters. Are story takes place at my house and while we were walking their somebody kidnaps are good friend violet. This is too show others dont trust anybody who looks weird or mysterious. They could be dangerous and make you do things you dont want to.

The projects requirement was for every person in the team to create a movie poster that would be in our movie trailer but we had to choose the best out of them all. Are team didn't add a poster so thats a lesson learned because each of our grades went down from not adding a poster. Are team also had our own template that would help us when we were filming so it wasn't just some random scene that didn't get planned out. It was called the "Trailer Plan". Then the trailer had to be at least 1 minute and 30 seconds to two minutes.

Well the class critique is gonna have to be one of my favorite parts because this class literally feels like family so if their was a very embarrassing part I didn't really care. Its also cool to see everyone else's creative trailers and what they chose to make a video about. Each one of the teams had a either really funny, scary, or dramatic theme too it. We also learned good tips for the next time we have a project similiar.
