Movie Poster Promo

Hey guys! Here's another blog for you to read. In GT were currently working on creating a movie trailer. The team I am currently working with is Kasiah, Maddie, and Arianna. We have to make our own creative movie poster that goes with the movie trailer; the poster needs to have the main character, the plot, the setting, the opening date, etc. You need all this and more to make sure you are ready and have a couple ideas to create and choose the best one. This project is going to be a little struggle and my team is going to need to sing out the camera a lot, but I think we can do this.

Our movie trailer has a lot of characters, but there's is 3 main ones, Detective Thalia, Robber Amethyst, and Rebecca the victim. These three characters are extremely important to the movie trailer because The whole movie is based on them. The robber steals Rebecca's ring which is also has the code to her bank account engraved on it and if the culprit finds it her great fortune is destroyed. To find the culprit the detective and Rebecca need to work together to get her favorite Amethyst ring. The setting in this movie trailer is in Rebecca's mansion AKA Kasiah's house; the crime happens when Kasiah is dancing around painting her nails. Unfortunately Rebecca didn't know that would be the last time she could afford nail polish.

My movie poster isn't completely done I'm still adding the filter which looks really awesome right now. When I'm finished with my poster I bet it'll be AMAZING! I'll need these things to complete my poster and make sure it's better than perfect. Text-Title, Actors, Reviews, and the Production Company. Text Effects: Drop Shadow, Stroke, Bevel & Emboss. Image: Main Characters. Setting, and Plot Hints. Text Effects: Quick Selection, Filters, and the Color Balance need to be included.

A major tool we needed to use is the kerning. Kerning is the process of adjusting the lettering to create spacing between the text and just make the font the way you want it for a pleasing result. The kerning tool is a very important part of this project because we want our movie poster to be perfect and just the way we want it. Kerning is important because to have an amazing poster everything has to be on point; which includes the text. Mr. Sanderl showed us this really cool website where it gives you the chance to actually try and Kern for yourself WEBSITE. This Website really helped me with practicing the kerning tool; now I know how to adjust the text to the way I prefer it to be.

Proactive or Procrastination

Hey guys! so the students of GT have to write 3 paragraphs of if there a procrastinator or a proactive person.You have to be completely honest and explain why you think what you think. I don't listen sometimes,which is like twice a day, but I think that I am more on the side of being Proactive. I will be totally honest with you I think that I'm a proactive person. I always follow the rules, I know what I have to do. I usually only talk to collaborate with my team, teacher, or to help my piers in that class and if they're having trouble with something. Overall I think that I am a very proactive person.

My level of productivity is great. Most of the time I am usually working on something that could be improved because I finished my current project or something like that. I really try to get my work done by the due date that was assigned to that project. It bothers me if I turn something late because I know that once I am late on turning my work in I'm behind on that class. I'm almost never distracted most of the time. When I get an assignment I make sure to get things done and that it's my best work so that I am solid for when grades come up.

To make sure I'm always on task I try to prevent myself from getting distracted. It means a lot that I can finish my work on time and get some free time to do something fun or just take a break from working. Also, I must be sure to try and finish the assignment the day I was given it. I always try to go above and beyond, going above what is expected. I try to make as much time as I can fr my school work, but sometimes I can;t and that really hardens
