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 Personality Type!!

Yesterday and today in e-Comm we took the Myers-Briggs personality test. My personality type is ESTP. ESTP stands for extravert, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. I'm 34% extravert, 1% sensing, 3% thinking, and 9% perceiving. I share a personality type with Donald Trump, Ryan Seacrest, and Taylor Swift. ESTP's are energetic and have a good sense of humor. I think this type relates to me because I'm energetic and I talk a lot. ESTP don't like long boring conversations and I don't like long boring conversations. The description of ESTP relates to me and is spot on. My personality types explains why I'm always trying something new and why I'm involved in so many activities. I'm always doing something to keep me entertained. I get bored easily if I'm not doing anything. I like to keep moving. My personality type explains why I like to be loud on the basketball courts and softball fields and at home. My uncle always complains that I'm ...

I watched a video about a brother who saves his little brother from chocking. I liked how the anchors asked simple questions that could be understood by the little boy and I also liked how they had an emergency response worker on the show because that is how the little boy learned how to save someone from chocking. They used a fake baby to demonstrate how to save someone from chocking and I liked that because you could see a visual representation of how the little boy learned it. I think it would've been better if the mom explained a little more about what happened because it was hard to understand what he was saying at some points. I will try and use visual references so that the audience can have a visual idea of what is going on. I will also keep in mind to write my questions to the level of the person I am interviewing (example: if I am interviewing someone younger make my questions simpler, than if someone who is older).

I watched highlights of the Dodgers vs. Astros game and read a recap about the stolen base for a free taco. I like how the reporter added some sense of humor to the article by saying how it was an exciting game for many reasons, the main being the free taco. I also liked the highlights because the reporter was very enthusiastic and kept me interested. I think that the reporter in the article could have added a reason for why the game was so exciting. He said the game last night was exciting for many reasons, but then talked about the free taco instead of giving an example of why the game was so exciting (eg extra innings, multiple home runs). From this I will take away the excitement in the reporters voice and use it when anchor on ONW Now next time and try and use my sense of humor also. Taco Bell Article Game 2 Highlights
