Grease Horror Trailer

I changed the classic Grease trailer into a horror trailer by muting the cheerful music and voices and replacing it with various horror sound effects from YouTube. Some of these include screams, horror music, slap sound effects, and squish sound effects. I cut out the parts of the trailer that were so full of joy that they made my efforts to scare the audience useless. I also added titles here and there to give a sense of plot. Truthfully, I don't think I succeeded in my goal to turn this into a scary trailer because the screams are too exaggerated and I kept laughing while watching it, which was not the intended reaction at all.

Video Self Portrait - Artist Statement

I used a fast paced collection of clips because I wanted it to be like a moving collage displaying various aspects of my life. It opens with me opening my bedroom door and ends with me closing the school door because school and my bedroom are where I spend most of my time. The shots from the car window are important to me because one of my favourite places to be is on car rides. The car ride shots are supposed to be an accurate representation of what the window view is like so the sound and blurriness are intentional. I've included clips of a phone playing various songs that are important to me. Some of the clips like the lip balm, tea, backpack, headphones and shoes are just things that are a part of my daily life. The clip of the leggings with a galaxy pattern on them is included because the first attempt I made at being social at this school was complimenting those leggings and that resulted in me being friends with the people I am right now. The song is one of the only songs that's important to me not lyrically, just because the sound is nice and calming and it reminds me of car rides.

Kinetic Typography - Principles of Animation

Squash and Stretch
I used the squash and stretch principle on the word "breathing" at 00:09 and in "loneliness" at 00:08.

Anticipation

Staging was used in "out" at 00:01 by directing your attention to that one word in particular. It was also used in "old" and "die" at 00:13 by communicating a mood or reaction.

Follow through is demonstrated in "address" at 00:07.

Arcs
The text followed an arc shape at 00:17.

Kinetic Typography - Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying

Kinetic Typography Analysis

The title of my kinetic typography is Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying. I used Adobe After Effects CS6 to edit it and the audio was the song Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying by Fall Out Boy. The content is a 25 second long video of moving words to the time of the music. I really like the look of the ending. I don’t like the way the sound cuts off before the very end, if I were to redo it I’d try harder to find better audio that didn’t cut off. I also think the colours and font don’t match the lyrics very well as the lyrics are upset and the colours and font are bright and cheerful. I’d use darker colours and a more serious or angry font if I were to change it. To make it look the way it does, I used green, blue, and purple colours and the “Fawn Script” font. I found the part from 00:03 – 00:06 the most challenging because getting the text to descend in sync with the vertical text was time consuming and I made a lot of mistakes that resulted in me having to restart the section. I thought the shattering animation on the words “old” and “die” were successful because they effectively communicated what the lyrics were saying.
