Movie Trailer Critique

Our latest G.T project was to make a movie trailer, our job was to plan it out, film and edit it to make it look like a real movie trailer. My teammates were Mele, Kyla, and Kacie they were good teammates because they all contributed a fair amount into our project. Our trailer plan document was definitely one of the hardest parts of our project because we had to make all the scenes make sense and fit together well. I contributed to our project by Filming the A-roll, and reading the voice acting script. Personally I feel that this was a good project because it really helped us to learn to work with other people, and it also helped us to practice editing in Final Cut Pro.

The project requirements were tricky to get into our project and to get it to still make sense. The requirements that we needed to include was at least 1.5 minutes to 2.5 minutes, 5 scenes, a voice acting script, dialogue, foley, text layovers, and our teams best movie poster. I feel we successfully included each and every requirement into our project. To make sure they were all of the requirements were included we went through the list of requirements multiple times to make sure they were all included. Also we watched our trailer over and over again.

I Really enjoyed the class critique because it let us vote for what trailer we liked the best. Also in the class critique is showed what the class thought of our trailer. Personally I agree with the results because well I thought ours was pretty cool but yet there was other trailers that were better than ours .I learned that it Can be pretty difficult to work with others. I also learned That animation can be pretty difficult when trying to make a movie trailer.

Movie Poster Promo

The Main Character in my movie poster is sir victor. He is the main character because he is the villain our movie who wants to steal the large oak tree in his neighbors yard. Although sir victor may look like he is flying he's actually supposed to be sort of laughing because his plan is amazing! The setting sir victor is in is in front of an oak tree. in conclusion thats all the details about the characters in my poster.

The title of our movie is "sir victors dream" well because it about a dude having a dream. I like how the text in my title kind of somewhat goes backwards and has a sort of stretched effect. The other text included in my poster is the characters and reviews. kerning is an effect you can make on text and how far each of the letters are spaced apart from each other. You could use the kerning effect to make your text fit in a spot. You could also use it if you wanted to change the look of your text and make it look stretched.

The layer effects and filters I used in my poster actually made a huge impact on the finished product. They helped make my poster look more professional and of course really awesome. The Layer effects I used were Drop Shadow, Stroke, and bevel and emboss. The effects helped make my text pop off the page and made my text look amazing. The filter I used was called Distortion it made my poster look more rocky and sort of rough. And thats how the layer effects made an impact on my poster.

Proactive or Procrastination?

Honestly I am a Procrastinator. I feel that because I always know a project is due but then I forget about it and wait until the last minute to finish it. Also I always Say that ill try to do it early but it never works out that way. For example my previous blog post I knew it was due in two weeks and thought "I have lots of time" But I ended up finishing it up on Friday after school! Therefore I am very much a procrastinator because of those reasons.

The time I am productive compared to the free time I have is about the same. When I get home I go outside and do things that are enjoyable. Then By the time it starts gets dark outside at about 5 or so I go back in my house and work on school work to about 10. obviously the time I spend outside is more fun then sitting down doing school work. But Some homework I find kinda enjoyable. So the time is about equal.


If I could change anything about my work habits it would be to finish my work on time. Something that would help do that would be if I got home and got straight to work. Also if I planed my work out and decided how much work I will do each day to complete my work on time. I think if I did those two things I would make my work better and I would be more stress free. Also I would have time to tweak my work and make changes to it before it is due.
