Movie Trailer Blog



Assignment
For this assignment we had to choose a high school movie and recreate its trailer frame by frame. My group and I chose the movie Clueless. We tried our best to make it look authentic and recognizable.

Process of Creation
We started with pre-production. In this stage we watch the original trailer numerous times and took screenshots of some different settings of the trailer and put them on a story boar and wrote down their shot size and setting. This helped us when we got to the filming process. Also in this stage we typed out the script so we knew what to say. We also went to thrift stores to find costumes that resembled the cast's costumes in the movie. Then we moved on to the production stage. This is where we shot the video. We went to tons of different places to make the video look authentic. We incorporated props and lighting to make it more appealing. After we shot everything we moved on to post-production and started editing on Premier Pro. Editing now comes so naturally to me since we've done so many project this year.

What Did I Learn
Along the way I learned a lot of things. I learned how to use warp stabler on Premier Pro. I learned how to be thrifty and search very hard for replicates. I learned how to improvise when you don't have a rolling tripod. I learned more about teamwork and how to rely on other people but also how to become a leader and take things into you own hands. I learned how to work with other people who aren't in eComm and their time schedules. Next time I would make a clear cut schedule and give it to all team members and make sure that everyone can attend the days that I have on the schedule. I will keep our costume search the same because searching those thrift stores really helped us make our video loo authentic with a low price. 

Conclusion
Overall I think this was a great experience and it rally helped me dive into the entertainment film world. After this I have found a new appreciation for entertainment that I didn't have before.
