So a while ago we started this project where we come up with a premise for a dystopian movie and then film a trailer for it - I wrote a post about it before where I put up a sample movie poster for it. Anyways, we finally finished our trailer and I posted it above so you can watch it.
Our trailer is called iPower. The basic story is that sometime in the future machines, specifically phones, will control everything and everyone but without the knowledge of the people. The machines can send certain people back in time to kill those who have too much knowledge in the future. Eventually one girl finds out what is happening so sends herself back in time to try to stop the machines from ever being invented.
I think that our trailer came out pretty good, especially considering that no one in our group really knew how to use Final Cut Pro before the project started. It was all a learning process for us and I feel like that I am MUCH more comfortable navigating Final Cut than I was four weeks ago. There is still A LOT more that I need to learn how to do on final cut; adjusting sound on music, key frames, transitions between shots (like fades), and overlaying clips are just a few to get the list started.
I enjoyed this project. I liked how it connected things we were doing in English to Media and I liked how it gave us some freedom but it was guided (yeah, I know, kinda contradictory). It was fun going out and filming and figuring out what we were even doing. There were a lot of moments that happened when we were filming that might not have been so funny then but looking back now are hilarious. My favorite is when we got yelled at by a farmer lady saying we were killing the planet by filming.
Even though this project required some dedication, I wouldn't mind doing another one like it. And I'm really looking forward to Friday when we get to watch all the other trailers - I've seen a few already and they're really well done.
