STYLO

This is the Chair i designed for the Media Chair assignment that my class did. The chair was suppose to represent our personalities, so i decide to create a Heel chair. I really like shoes and they go well with different outfits. I named it STYLO. it was hard to make this chair because of the many curves and such. It took me sometime to finish, and it is still needs a little work. STYLO is pure white with no colour because people are suppose to recognize the chair and not the colour of it.

LIGHTING

">

This video shows you how you can make a Softbox light that is affordable and works well. In the first part of the video the boy explains that you have to cut out 4 trapezoids from a cardboard box and then from there you put aluminum foil on the pieces so it can reflect the light. From there you use black tape to connect all 4 trapezoids together. From there once the trapezoids have been put together you hook the light up to the surrounding cardboard pieces. When that is done you put plastic wrap over the "light" and then you are ready to turn the light on.

Forrest Gump Trailer



In our class we had to compose a video trailer of any movie we wanted and change the theme of it by using music to imitate the emotion. I decided to to choose Forrest Gump not only because it is my favorite movie but also because it had so many genres included such as: Romance, comedy, coming of age, drama, and Americana. there was a lot to work with so i decided the make it a horror. The concept of this trailer is that forrest was an outcast that no one could relate too, until he met this girl named Jenny. She accepted him for who he was. He ended up running away but still kept Jenny in his mind. She had moved on to someone else. Forrest came back for her but he became obsessed. So he ends up stalking her through the whole trailer.

the original trailer



This is the trailer i first watched in order to come up with my genre.


QUESTIONS
The mood has been changed from light and playful to suspenseful and creepy
I added the voice over at the end. I used different parts from the movie and put them in certain parts of the trailer so it would look more intense in some areas.
I wanted to make sure that the trailer would convey what i wanted it too. I wanted the viewer to see that he was progressing into a man who had an obsession. The music was a perfect fit because it linked everything together. It made everything more dramatic. It wasn't the easiest to find a scary song that matched my video. It took me about 3 periodes of searching in order to finalize the music. When i put it with the video it was a perfect match.
