Movie Trailer Critique



Our movie trailer is about a guinea pig named George. This guinea pig goes on an amazing adventure. My teammates in this project are Lani, Sophia, and Shaday. We are team 3. George is Shaday's guinea pig so without her, our trailer would turn out totally different from what we have now. In the beginning, we were thinking about making the movie like "UP". We were going to make it look like George goes into a balloon basket and fly away on an adventure. But we didn't include that. I tried to help as much as I could. Shaday did do most of the editing, and we always met up at her house. I think Shaday contributed the most. I tried to go to her house and help out as much as I could. I think I didn't go only once or twice. But I helped with filming as much as I could.

The requirements for this project are, the trailer has to be at least one minute and thirty seconds long and the longest it could be was two minutes and thirty seconds. Another requirement was that you need the movie trailer poster somewhere in the trailer. We also needed 5 scenes, a voice actor and dialogue.  The other requirements were you need transitions, Foley, and text layovers. We added music as well, I think everyone did. Our team completed all the requirements. We had the poster, it was a minute and thirty seconds, and it had transitions, text layovers, a voice actor etc.

Our movie trailer got four out of four. Ten people voted our trailer as the best. We got the most votes. I think we did good. I agree with the results. I think we got a good grade and we deserved it because we tried our best to complete this project. From this project, I have learned, that guinea pigs are hard to work with and I have also learned some new words. For example, Foley. In the results, for the requirements we got two people who thought we could use improvement. I think we could have used improvement too but overall, I'm happy with our grade.

Movie Poster Promo

In this project me and my team are making a movie trailer. Our team is me,  Shaday, Sophia, and Lani.  In our movie trailer, a guinea pig named George is on an amazing adventure and runs into several problems. George is a wild guinea pig who gets captured. Our poster includes Shaday's guinea pig, George, who is the main character.

Our movie trailer title is Snoopy George. We chose this title because our movie trailer is about a guinea pig named George that goes on an adventure because he is tired of his old life. We have included the names of our teammates, Lani Alo, Sophia Gregory, Shaday Thomas, and me, Denae Sacramed. We also have included the name of our main character, George. Another thing it has are reviews.

The drop shadows on the text make the title more noticeable because without it its kind of hard to see. The layer effects help make everything pop out and easier to see. The effects and layers made the poster more interesting than just letters and a picture. The effects on the text make the words pop out. The effects I used on the text were drop shadow, stroke, and bevel and emboss.
