Hey guys! So, our recent project for GT was to create a movie trailer critique. In this movie trailer you and your team had to put your minds together and think of a creative and appropriate trailer for 1st graders. After you had your idea you needed to check out a camera and start FILMING! My team Kasiah, Maddie, and Arianna decided to make our trailer a mystery movie Kasiah played Rebecca the victim, Maddie was the narrator, Arianna was Amethyst the robber/assistance, and I was Thalia the Detective. We checked out a camera and started shooting parts to our trailer; the first thing we did was take some pictures for the movie poster. Then, we shot the first scene which was about how Amethyst the robber stole Rebecca's ring. Finally we continued shooting as much scenes as we could in the amount of time we had before our parents came to pick us up.
All of the GT students had to then accomplish the requirements for this project. The requirements for this project were; it had to be 1 minute and 30 seconds to at most 2 minutes and 30 seconds, it had to have 5 scenes, include a Voice Actor, Dialogue, Foley, Text Layovers, and a Movie Poster. My team and I met all of the requirements; we had 1 minute and 30 seconds of footage, we had about 6-7 scenes, Maddie was our Voice Actor, We got Kasiah to stomp her feet for the foley and we also hit a stuffed animal against a wall for a thump sound.Our text layovers consisted of the basic "Coming Soon" and "In theaters near you. Finally my team and I all had to make a creative poster to go with our movie trailer, so we all created one, but we went with Kasiah's poster because as a team we thought her poster had a little more flare than the rest of ours.
Finally, after the entire class shared their movie trailer with us we had to critique them. The class critique I thought was pretty reasonable. The class resulted the project as the second best movie trailer with a total of 7 votes for the overall best of the movie trailers. I thought that the results were really good, Snoopy George was a great movie trailer, and ours could've been better, but I am actually really proud of my team, and our movie trailer. I totally agree with the results they gave us we accomplished all of our requirements, but we could've gone above and beyond! I learned that if you work otgether with your team you can accomplish A LOT of things
