Trailer Project

The DM105 class many of us are in did the trailer quite a while back but I thought I would share my trailer (which I forgot to blog about).

The trailer project was a little annoying for me because I was having terrible luck with converting my movie to a quicktime file. The movie I started with was Underworld, which I tried to convert several times. After three or four attempts, I got it working and got about thirty seconds into editing my trailer. After that, it suddenly stopped working and I was back at square one. I finally decided to switch movies when I had made it no where after a few days of work. I had just bought an awesome DVD pack that included Predator so I decided to go with that. I didn't have as much time as I wanted to work on my trailer but I finished it in time and I was able to add in some important elements of the film.

Here it is if you would like to see it:



Predator is very much of an action movie turned sci-fi horror and I wanted that to be viualized in the trailer. So it starts with the set up of the plot which leads directly into the team of operatives on their mission. Then I thought I would show the characters discovering that something was wrong and then the mysterious Predator after them, leaving the audience without seeing the Predator or understanding his motives.
