My action adventure dream...

We all know the assignment- Dystopian Trailers. I made mine with Amy, Andrea and Molly and I'm relatively proud of it. I personally chose the music and edited most of it with Andrea. For our level of experience, I think it looks very professional.

I think that the trailer could have used a few more shots and maybe more consistency between each different voice-over, but I think that the music is great, the editing is pretty professional and the plot-line is well thought out. I regret not having made a clear criticism of anything in today's society. We tried to criticize the level of pollution (which forced humans to recede to the Underground), as well as the instability and power-seeking tendencies of American government; however, after watching the trailer, I am unsure of how clear our message came across.

To make the trailer, my whole group first journeyed all the way to Olney to film. Molly was the main protagonist, while Amy was the catalyst for Chrinn's (Molly's character) rebellion. We all shared filming depending on who was in each different scene. We even filmed in tunnels/sewers near Amy's house! Our group spent each day in CAP film production to edit the trailer. Andrea and I came in every lunch time to continue editing it.

Altogether, I like it a lot and despite my regrets for what could have been done, I am glad that we finished it and it looks the way it does.
