Movie Trailer Critique

P1T2 Plane Ride Home from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

 This project was to create an entertaining movie trailer that was appropriate for first graders to watch. We created our project on an app called Final Cut Pro. We used all kinds of cool effects to make it as cool, creative, and as good as we could. My teammates were Sophia Rodriguez, Justice Chatfield, Maceo Cantu and I. Our plan document shows our synopsis, teammates, voice acting script, characters, setting, plot and purpose. This will basically show you everything about our story and how we contributed to the story. I personally contributed as one character in a scene, and I helped with some of the editing and foley.

The project required a 1min and a half to 2 min show, five scenes, voice acting, foley, dialogue, text-lay overs, effects, and a movie poster. This definitely sounds like a lot of work but we got it done good and to our surprise it was exactly one minute and thirty seconds. We did complete all of them however some could have been better if we had more time to work on it. I think the overall trailer came out pretty good. It was humorous and had a plot which our audience loved. In fact, our class voted our video number one to show the first graders.

The majority of the classes critique comments were saying how funny it was. They liked our transitions and most of all our settings. Using our editing skills on Final Cut Pro, we added our own backgrounds in the trailer to match our voice over and plot. I agrees with the critique results because it was a very humorous video and I think we did a great job on the editing part. I learned a lot more editing skills during this project and got more comfortable with Final Cut Pro. I think I could make a pretty good video on my own using the things I learned, if I had a subject.
