The Movie Trailer Project

Come up with a movie trailer for your fake movie. Spoof a famous movie you like or just invent a totally radical new idea for a movie. Make sure that the narrative of your fake movie is clearly conveyed in your movie trailer. There should be NO resolution to your conflict in your movie trailer, so do not add an ending. When was the last time you saw a movie trailer that gave away the ending? Make your fake movie trailer engaging by using quick cuts and a variety of different types of shots.

The Raw Footage for your Movie Trailer is due on Tuesday, April 12th.
Your completed project, edited and in the can, is due by the end of class on Tuesday May 3rd.

REMEMBER - YOUR MOVIE TRAILER MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. IT MUST BE BETWEEN 1 AND A HALF TO 2 AND A HALF MINUTES LONG.
2. IT MUST HAVE A VOICE-OVER, OR NAT SOUND BITES.
3. IT MUST HAVE A SOUNDTRACK. (IF YOU COMPOSE YOUR OWN EFFECTIVE SOUNDTRACK YOU WILL GET 10% EXTRA CREDIT)
4. YOUR MOVIE TRAILER MUST BE EFFECTIVE IN ALL AREAS, INCLUDING COMPOSITION, CONTINUITY, CAMERA FRAMING, AND ENGAGING THE AUDIENCE WITH IT'S CONTENT.
5. YOUR MOVIE TRAILER MUST HAVE A CLEAR VISUAL NARRATIVE WITHOUT A RESOLUTION.
