Play Trailer

So I've been sick for the past few weeks with the wonderful flu, so now I'm playing catch-up! I tried my best with making a movie for this weeks assignment. I've never done something like this before! Rick suggested I make a promotional trailer for my senior directing project because promoting my shows in a High School setting is DEFINITELY something I will be doing in the near future. This could make an interesting assignment where I can include technology in my classroom having my students create promotional videos for their productions.

I do not have a web-cam or a microphone so I decided to use production photos taken a week before my show opened as the basis for the promotional trailer. I think it does a good job of capturing the essence of my piece and I hope it is helpful in motivating audience members to support the arts!

This was quite the challenging assignment, my illness aside. I had no idea how to use Windows Movie Maker (because I don't have a Mac) so I got to learn by trial and error. It wasn't as hard as it looked but it was definitely challenging and caused me to really work to make a good trailer, albeit a short one.

I've tried uploading it to my blog but my internet is WAY too slow at my house, so hopefully I can get it posted on campus where the connection is faster. Stay tuned to check it out!
