Overview
For this project, we were to recreate a movie trailer based on a movie that takes place in high school. Our group chose "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". I was the director, Aidan was the cinematographer, and Dee was the art director.
Process
We first created a shot for shot storyboard, which helped a lot. We also wrote a script and created a production schedule. Then, we filmed at school and at Aidan's house. There were several locations and actors that we had to work with. Regarding post production, it took about a week to edit.
What I Learned
Now I know how to create a movie trailer! It's a lot harder than you think. There are so many shots that go in to one trailer. And, it ends up only being one to two minutes! I also am (slowly) getting better at color grading and I learned how to overlay flicker footage on the trailer.
Improvement & Next Time
The audio was hard to work with, as an inconsistency in mics led to poor audio. Other than the audio quality, we didn't have much other feedback. For next time, we will make sure to use ONE (good) microphone to capture audio. Audio is important, people.
Overall
I feel like our group put a lot of work in to this project. It was a lot of fun to capture a variety of different shots, and it was cool to see it all put together in editing. I can't wait to see what we do next!
