I'm A MovieMaker :)

       For the first big assignment in this class I get to play the big hollywood director and make a trailer for my fake movie. I'm pretty excited about it since I'm the one who shows up early to movies so I can make sure I see all the upcoming previews. I love to watch trailers, so it's going to be really fun making my own. I've played around with moviemaker before, but there's still plenty I have to learn. I'm looking forward to seeing my finished product.
       As far as ideas go I'm stuck between some themes for my trailer. I want my trailer to be flashy and catch peoples attention, so making it about something interesting is key. Some ideas floating around in my head are the 9/11 memorial that just happened, soldier homecomings, and even just making a trailer for a book that could be made into a movie. If I go with the patriotic themes, my phrases would probably be about America and other small words or catch phrases to tell about the story.  If I use the book idea it would depend on what book I chose to come up with phrases. Finding the right type of media clips is going to be key in making the trailer look appealing. Also, not focusing too much on one video clip, most trailers jump around very quickly so I think that would be important as well.
