Movie Poster Promo

Recently our teacher, Mr. Sanderl, has tasked us with making a movie poster to match the trailer that we're making. My team consists of Michael, Russell, and I, and we're doing a story on forgiveness. My main characters are Wyatt and Preston, and you'll see them in the trailer. Wyatt is bullied by Preston, and you'll see a lot of bullying going on. There's a rather important lesson that isn't exactly a hidden fact, and the lesson is forgiveness, and don't judge a book by its cover.

My movie title is "Forgiveness", and the name is self-explanatory, the story is about forgiveness. I have the production team's names down, and that's to give credit, and call people in through reputation, kinda like how a Samuel L. Jackson movie tends to be very well done, same with Quentin Tarantino's movies. The last thing I have on my movie is famous viewers opinions or rates, such as "10 out of 10 -IGN", to persuade the viewers to watch it. Kerning is the control of space between words, and you could use it to make a movie title more interesting, and provide a feeling of awe or interest as well.

My filters and effects had an interesting role to play in my overall project. I made the background dark and very outlined, which provided a nightmarish feeling of despair, and myself bright blue, contrasting Russell's red, and that makes an interesting effect. It seems to imply that Russell is a bad guy, and I'm a good guy, and we're at an opposition in the movie. Overall, think I did well.

Movie Trailer Critique

              

Describe the project, your teammates & your Trailer Plan document… Tell us how you contributed.

My project was to make a creative movie trailer based upon stories we wrote, while keeping it interesting and suitable for all audiences. My team was Russell, Michael, and I, and we did Michael's story called "Amnesia", but it wasn't kid-friendly so we took out a large portion of his story and ended up renaming it "Forgiveness", and we did a trailer of that. Our trailer plan document was done fairly well, and we filled in all of the blanks. I contributed with filming, acting, documenting, I did all of the jobs, and participated considerably, but there's no way I could have done any of it without Russell or Michael, so credit to them.

What were the project requirements & did you complete all of them? Why or why not?

The project required us to have at least 1:30 minutes of video, showing a story, B-Roll, audio, dialogue, text layovers, effects, our movie title, and a movie poster advertising the movie. I completed them all because I extremely wanted to get a good grade. Our project didn't turn out just how I had planned, and some things definitely could have been improved, I wasn't very satisfied, but it turned out alright.

Conclude by describing the class critique & if you agree with the results. What did you learn?

My class's critique on ours said that we got a 3 on everything. It concluded that we did a satisfactory job, but a lot of people said there was room for improvement. I agree with the results, but I wish I really could've "wow'd" the crowd. I learned that I should really start my projects the very second that it becomes possible, or else I'll stress out and rush, and not go above and beyond because of that.
