High school trailer



Highschool Trailer

We chose to do The Duff as our high school trailer. We chose it because it is a really funny movie and we thought that it would be fun to recreate it. We incorporated many important aspects of filming for example we tried out best to match up the shots with how they were in the actual trailer by getting the right angle and making the scene itself look authentic. We did our best to incorporate good audio by using a boom mic but that did not go well because we had a boom mic for some scenes and we didn't have a mic at all for others. So our audio did sound really weird throughout the entire trailer because of the mic.

Pre Production and Production

Our pre production mainly consisted of casting actors. It was really difficult to find actors who looked similar to the people in the trailer and that were available. We originally casted someone else as the jock but he couldn't make it to the filming sessions so we had to change our jock halfway through filming. We also had to just star in our trailers ourselves because of the lack of actors. Also we had to screenshot the scene for scene and get the script printed before we could start filming. Once we started filming everything went smoothly. The party scene was a little difficult to do because we did not have enough extras so we had figure out a way to make the scene look full. Other than that filming was very simple and everything was on time.

Editing

Editing was a challenge for me. I started editing one day and the next day I came back to it and all of my footage was gone so I had to re start. The audio was also a struggle for me. I did not know what songs were in the background of the trailer so I just chose a song from the soundtrack of the movie in the background. I also had trouble getting the audio so sound equal throughout the trailer.  For example in one scene my music was louder than the speaking audio but in another clip the music was too quiet. I wanted to add the bars to my trailer but I had no idea how to add them to my trailer so I just did not add them. I also forgot to add the end credit scene to my trailer because I ran out of time while I was editing.

My Experience

My role in this experience was to be the production manager. So I figured out when and where we were going to film and I made sure everyone could make it on time. I also helped the DP with the shots because she had to star in a few of the clips herself. I learned many things in this trailer one of which is how to screen record clips form other videos and put them into your own. I used all five guarantees in this project. I used leadership in this when I was figuring out when and where we were going to film I led the group through that. I communicated with everyone in order to make sure everyone got to the filming location on time. I collaborated with everyone in my group in order to make sure we created the best possible trailer. We used project management in order to get the assignment on time.

Next time

The only thing that I would do differently about this project would be me changing the audio levels in my final edit of the trailer. Other than that I would keep it the same because it turned out really well in my opinion. For my next project I will make sure to follow the production schedule just as we did in this project it made everything much more easy. Overall I had a great time and I liked my group and I liked the final project as well.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi...

Final Blog

Our Final Project in e-Comm Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is w...

Multiplane Animation

Image
Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim...
