Trailer Project

The Scope

In this project we worked to make a video game or movie trailer, my group decided to do a video game trailer. before we could film we had to find a good trailer to go off of, and the best choice for us was the Dead Rising trailer. After we picked the trailer we moved on to storyboarding and figuring out how exactly the trailer is going to go. During recording there were some problems with the video not being in focus but I did my best to work with that while editing

What Did I Learn?

While working I learned a couple of things about the cameras we used and the editing software. I found out about the camera that we used, which is EOS Rebel 60D, that the focus can be adjusted to a very fine point, and if you are even a little bit off four it can mess up the entire thing. The software I used was Adobe Premier Pro, and I learned that when editing scenes that aren't white balanced you are able to go back into Premier and fix that to make it the correct color.

What I Would Do Differently or the Same

If I had to do a project like this again I would most definitely use a EOS Rebel 60D, it is an amazing camera that has so many setting on it that you can make a scene look exactly how you want it too. Another thing I would do the same is working with the team I had, we all worked together well and all of us did the part we needed to do. For something I could do different, I would get a better dolly, the one we used while recording had small parts that limited the ways it could move and made it shake, which is very noticeable in the video.

The Next Project

In our next project I will definitely use what I learned this time. I do want to work more on my editing skill and making everything fit together perfectly.
