Movie Trailer Premier

P1T2_Grandpa's Goodbye from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Welcome back! New project, New week, Now we are working on a Movie Trailer project. Basically our project goal is to plan & create a 90-120 second invented movie trailer that entertains the audience without giving away the ending of the movie. While doing this we have to have a dramatic voice actor who can actively hint at why our movie is a critically acclaimed “Must See”. Including those two things and also an original movie poster. Most importantly, we have to provide the audience with the highest level of production value so their eyes & ears stay glued to the screen. I contributed to the plan by editing the synopsis, figuring out what types of shots we are going to use for each scene, going over the script and editing it and also making sure that everyone on our team has at least something to do.

There is mostly always success but with success comes challenges. Speaking of challenges, one of the major challenges we had were communication and meet ups. This was due to not answering phones and not planning the right day to shoot so only two people showed up to the meeting. Even though only two showed up it was in our luck that it was the two main characters and they got some filming down so that was one success. Another challenge is probably getting all the scenes done in time because due to only having a limited amount of people they couldn't film as much. Also the lighting issues because our movie trailer is mostly at night or in the dark and so we came to a conclusion to put a dimmed white light next to the shots. One more challenge would be agreeing with everyone but that didn't help with anything so we just gave everyone a job to do and now we know what to do and contribute to the team. These are the successes and challenges that my team and I faced but we did solve the challenges.

For our critique results, I think that we deserve the votes that we got because our project was meant to be scary but turned out to be way more funnier so the audience was maybe confused or it just didn't get their attention. For the creativity it was absolutely creative and I agree with the votes on that because no one really did a movie trailer based on a grandma who killed the grandpa and then the boy tries to look for the grandpa with help from his friend. Lastly, for the requirements I agree with that because some of our shots were dark because our movie trailer was mostly based at nighttime so we tried to use a white light to make it look natural like the moon was coming through the window. Fortunately, we did get picked as the top 5 movie trailer from our class receiving 4 votes for the best overall movie trailer. That would be the red colored from the pie, I think we did deserve that because we did get the whole class laughing about our movie trailer and that's what made them vote for us as one of the best movie trailers in the class. From this project I have learned how to plan meetings, communicating and not relying on the other people on the team to do the work for you. I really enjoyed this project and hopefully in a later time will be able to do it again.
