Movie Trailer

The Scope

For this project we were to work in groups of 3-4 to re-create a movie trailer based of a a school type movie. My group chose Napoleon Dynamite. We took screen shots of each scene and printed them out. We then typed up the script and planned out our shooting and editing dates on our calendar.

What Worked Well

I really liked the group I was in because we were all hard working and we kept on schedule the whole time. We shot most of the video in three class periods, and one extra trip made after school. The editing worked smoothly, and we had color corrector to the shots we took and one talented member in my group made the animated lockers, which he put on the server to share with me and another classmate.

What I Would Change

Next time, I would turn the music down in the background, because it was a little overpowering and turn up the voices of our actors. I would also try and dress/ bring props to mirror the actors clothing and make my transitions a little smoother. Other than that, I think my group and I did a pretty decent job re-creating the movie trailer of Napoleon Dynamite.

My Personal Logo

A few weeks ago in e9 we had to design a personal logo that described us. We learned about what different colors and shapes mean in a logo and how it can affect the look of the design. I choose to type my initials. I made my type smaller on the "m's" because I wanted the "H" to stick out, thats also why I made it pink. Pink represents friendliness, inner peace, and harmony. I choose to enclose it all in a circle because it is known as the perfect shape. It is like pure perfection.

Hammer Project In this project I learned how use the polygonal transformation manipulator tool, how to extrude, and how to subdivide polygon faces. I was able to learn this project by watching our teacher do a quick explanation/ tutorial and by reading the directions typed on google classroom. I picked this project because I spent a lot of time on the hammer's head and this project turned out better than I thought it would, especially the shadows. My greatest strength during this project was patience because when I was extruding, my hammer was not doing what I wanted it to do. My weakness during this project was would be not making the green take up more of the picture, because there is too much black. I have improved because I have the right shadows. I will take my learning of the manipulator tool and extrude tool to my next projects. I would change the background so there would not be so much black. This project helped me prepare for other projects by practicing the manipula...

What is Graphic Design to me? To me graphic design is visual communication to the world. It is also a way to communicate to people without having to talk to them. I think graphic design is unique because you can make it anyway you want. It can be bold or quite, loud and annoying, pink, green, circle shaped or triangle shaped. There are no rules in graphic design so you can make it your own and let your imagination do the work. You get to make it your own, however you want it. http://www.aiga.org/what-is-design/
