Our new project is awesome, and I'm super excited about my team. I am the team leader, so I have to make sure they work, and so far, they are doing good. Our project is to create an awesome and high quality movie trailer. The movie we are creating it for is fictitious, though. That means we have to make it all up ourself. We also must have have a dramatic voice actor, which in this case is Isaac, also known as Judge Stan Dubey in our trailer. We also have a movie poster, which yours truly will be making. Prepare for awesomeness! Our movie is Objection Overruled, and it is going to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I am having so much fun working on our plan too. I officially did the poster sketch and synopsis, both of which are awesome. I unofficially helped Alex and Isaac with the 4p's and keywords as well as the voice acting script, both of which turned out pretty good and funny. I have a feeling that this is going to be AWESOME!
Our biggest challenge was probably making the shots look good. When we first planned each composition technique (macro, rule of thirds) and shot type (wide, close), we had not seen our location, unfortuneatley. So, when we actually got there, our location was a small stage in Kapa'a High School Gym, where a volleyball team was practicing. Because of this, many of our shots were impossible to do. This was unfortunate, but we prevailed by adjusting shots. For example, if the planned shot said, "Wide of courtroom" that was impossible to do, so we did a medium of the courtroom on a tripod on a table behind everybody. This turned out pretty well, so our shots were not as high quality as we wanted to be, but with some editing and camera adjustments, we made it work. Our biggest success was probably our humorousness. I was worried that it would be too cheesy and not-funny, but we made it awesome! We all have "acting chops", so we had a lot of fun embracing our characters and leaving it out on the stage; in this case literally! I think we made it quite funny, and I'm very proud of how funny our movie trailer is!
We got voted second best movie trailer! I am very happy and proud of these critique results. Most people thought ours was very funny and good, as shown in these graphs. I am super glad that I got to work with my team for this super cool project. I learned a lot too. I learned how to really work together with my team to create our final product. I also learned a lot about photoshop in making the movie posters, like how to do text overlays and background effects. This was so much fun to do!
