Movie Trailer Critique

P1T8 Young and Brokenhearted from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Well my project was working on a movie that 3rd graders could under stand. Before making the movie we also had to do a few different things. one of those things was doing my blog post. Another thing that I had to do is make a movie poster for my blog. I felt that was fun because it was my first time ever making any type of poster on photoshop. My team mates in this were Leslie, Lillio and Ehu. Are trailer plan was about a high school boy named Ziggy Twisty. We show all the troubles that Ziggy faces in high school. Well in the story I was Acting as Ziggy, so I feel that is one of the main things that I contributed to. But besides that I also got to edit our project witch was really fun. 

In the project we had many requirements. We had some in photoshop. We had some that were made for our movie. As I remember I completed all of them in photoshop. But I did not complete all the requirements in my movie. I remember that we came a little short on our time. But I think that it was mainly because we did not get to film as long as we wanted to. So I think that is one of the main reasons that I  did not finish this project in the right amount of time. One of the ways we could of avoided this would of been to start earlier. So then it would not of been last minute and we found out that we need longer scenes. Also as we were filming it turned out that we all didn't need to be there for the scenes. So as some people were filming another person could have been editing.

I was happy with our critique. I felt that we did good in my opinion, and yes I did agree with the results. I also learned that I need to not procrastinate as much as I did. One way that I could of avoided this was to stay after school with my team. Also I could of done what I said earlier and had one person edit while the rest of the people were editing. But over all I am proud of how I did and hope I got a good grade.

Movie Poster Promo

The main characters in my poster is Ziggy and Malia. So far we think that we are going to have a big image of Malia and Ziggy. In this Ziggy is crying but also still being friends with Malia. This I think plays a big role in our story because it explains a lot. I also think that after seeing the movie poster people will wonder why Ziggy is crying. After this people will get interested and want to watch the movie to see what happens. Are you thinking about what is going to happen. Well you should watch the movie.

So far my title is Young and Brokenhearted. This is my title because this is my story's name. I am also in the process of making my poster. So far I have been thinking about the text that I am going to right. I have got my title done so far, now I am working on my other text. I think that at the bottom of my page it is going to say the actors name and what they acted. Also kerning is the spacing in between letters. You can use that to space out your title. Also if you would like your words to be closer you can bring them closer.

Well so far I have a few special effects. I have special effects in my title in my background. In my background I have a radial Blur. As in my title i have effects like outer glow, inner glow, Layer effects and Ext. I also had a fun time learning how to learn how to these effects. I also think if is cool the I got more familiar using Photoshop.

Proactive or Procrastination?

Be honest, are you proactive or procrastinator? Why or why not? I think that I am more of a procrastinator. I feel like this Because I am always waiting tell last minute to do my work. I think this happens because I always want to do something else instead. I mean I know the concept, but I just lay off on it. To be honest I am being  procrastinator right now.  I could of probably already finished this. Which of me being a procrastinator I have to rush and finish it now.

How does your level of productivity effect your amount of free time. Well, like everyone else, if I lay something off I will still have to do it. If you do lay it off you may get to do what you wanted to do that day. But when it is time for your project to be done you will have to rush and not get to do what you want to do that day. This may sound hypocritical of me to say this considering I procrastinating on this project. Hopefully one dat I will be able to not be a procrastinator.

What would you change about your work habits and how would you do it. If I could change anything I would change how I forget about projects. When i could clearly just handle them right away. If i did that then I would not have to worry about when I am going to get my projects done. For an example today I totally forgot about doing this.

My Visual Poem

Describe what your poem is about and how your visuals make an impact. My poem is about a bee out of energy. It also tells how it is hard to live a life being different than everyone else. I also think that my visuals will make an impact because you will see what is going on. You will no have to just guess what is going on.

How do your special effects make the reader feel. Ok, to be honest I don't have to many special effects. But I do have a one I can think of off the top of my head. It is of me being a bee and jumping all around with bees buzzing. I thought that was a good match.

Are you satisfied with your result. Truly, I am not. I feel that a procrastinated then was rushed. I should have added more special effects. I could have added fades and other things also. But overall it was a fun project.

The Experiment

Describe this photo assignment... Why did we do it? We did this to learn photo shop. I feel that this is an important assignment because we may have to use this in the future. When we use it in the future we will know how to use this faster and better than others with no practice. I also enjoy useing this because its fun.

What was oh so right about it and what was oh so wrong about it? One thing I think was good about it was that I took a lot of time on it. I wanted to make this perfect. I also feel that one thing bad was i don't have any experience. I also feel I was kinda rushed.

Hiki No Behind The Scenes

Summarize your project idea and hows it going? My project is about the effect of technology. We have a several interviews with people and their thoughts on how technology has effected people's lives. I also feel that our story is very strong on how people's lives are effected. I think that our project is going at a great pace.

What happens when the camera is not rolling? When we are not videoing we are planing to video. we are planing interviews when we have nothing else to do and need an interview in a certain place. If we are not doing that we are editing. We are making sure their are no sound over lapse, no green flashes etc.

Discuss one thing you can do to help out your team? One thing I can do is not get in the way with them and mess them up. I can always try to be on task and stay with what they are doing. When they are telling me something I can write it down so I don't forget. Another thing I can do is always follow orders that my team gives me. I like working with my group.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2014/09/23/israel-military-shoots-down-syrian-aircraft/OIKRPFnGA8rcqZq9Wxl3NI/story.html

Jerusalem- Tuesday, a Syrian fighter jet was shot down in the Israel airspace. For the first time in a quarter of a century a Syrian fighter jet flew into Israel's airspace then was soon after shot down by Israel's military. Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, A military spokes person say it was a Russian made Sukhoi warplane, this jet flew into the airspace at approximately 9:15 AM. Israel said that they knew Syria was not trying to attack, but they can not allow other planes to fly in their air space. People are now concerned that it will become into a war because of their violent past.

I that this was totally that was uncalled for. They even knew that it was not an attack but they shot anyways. I mean if i was driving an airplane I could easily fly into someones airspace on accident. In this article they said nothing saying they gave the plane warning that they would shoot it. Because they did this things may get worse between them.

We should care about this because how do we know there will not be a war? Also, if they got in a war we would have to provide aid to Israel because were allies with them. Then we would have to send troops over their that do not need to be over there. It also might cause the U.S. to be in more debit. Also if we get involved Syria might want to attack us.
