Week 15: Final Video

Craft:  In order to put this video together I first had to import the small file that I made of my poster into premiere.  After I imported the layers, I imported my video and set it at the very bottom of my layers so that it would fall in as my background.  After that I moved all my sequenced layers into the positions I wanted them into the timeline. 

Composition:  I took my original poster design and put all of the information on the very back of the timeline so that they would show up and the end of the video so it would play just as an actual movie trailer would play.  Afterward I let the movie play as my background for the whole time so the viewer would be drawn into it the entire time.

Concept:  The idea behind the video was to continue the Clerks franchise, in theory, that Kevin Smith made in the past.  I wanted to be able to capture a moment that is always popular in the movies where the two main characters sit and argue something pointless, so in mine I had them argue Lord of the Rings since they're supposed to be nerdy, and had it end with the customer chiming in and annoying them.

 Craft: The artist crafted this statue out of what appears to be bronze or some kind of stone.  The artist first had to find someone to model their statue head off of.  After that they carved in detail what their model looked like using scapel to stone.

 Concept:This is a painting of bizarre people in a bar.  It shows the weirdness and exoticness of the people you can find in a particular bar.  I believe the artist is trying to say that with enough alcohol or strange people surrounding you, everyone can begin to look bizarre and strange.

Composition:  The artist used diffferent colors and hues to draw the viewer to different things.  The brighter colors towards the bottom draws the viewers eye downward to the things going on to the bottom.  After that, the eye slowly wanders from the bottom left over to the bottom right.  After the bottom right the eye wanders up to what is going on in the rest of the painting

Week 14: Final draft poster

Craft:  I first started by opening up my photoshop document that I had made and posted in the previous blog.  Since I had planned on making my video my background, I had deemed it unneccessary to keep the photo and the box behind it so I deleted both of those layers.  After I decided that the white box for Clerks 3 needed to be smaller and lose the paint effect that I had added.  In order to do so, I first used the rectangle tool and made one on either side of the Clerks 3 box and used the eraser tool to get rid of it and bring the black background into place.  After that, I used another rectangle tool to go over the paint brush tool I used and erased that too. 

Composition:  I had really wanted to cut back on what I had text wise because the poster was mainly about the video since I was working on composing a movie trailer.  I left Clerks 3 black text on a white background because I still wanted it to stand out more than anything else.  I left the bottom the same because I wanted it to be the last thing the viewer was drawn to once again.

Concept: The poster is for Clerks 3.  Clerks 3 is again the third installment of a Clerks trilogy that was written and directed by Kevin Smith.  The poster gives the name of the movie, the price, where it is premiering, and what time.

week 13: poster rough draft

Craft: I made this picture using photoshop.  I first selected the text that I wanted to use the poster.  After I had them selected I started by making a new layer and painting it entirely black. After that I created a new layer and put a rectangle across the top and painted it white.  Once it was entirely white I took the font I chose for the title and typed in Clerks 3.  After that I created a new layer and made the box in the bottom left hand corner and painted it grey.  Once it was grey I made 3 new text layers and typed in the information using the font I had selected.  After that I made a new layer and made a grey box for where my photo is.  Once that was made I put in a new layer and posted pasted the photo I took on my digital camera into place.  Finally I made a new layer and made a white paint brush and used it towards the top to make it look like ripped paper.

Composition: I first put the title at the top and made it large so it would attract the eye of the viewer.  I made it a black text on a white background so it would stick out more.  Next I put the picture more to the left center so that the eye wouldn't be drawn there right away, but left it in color so the viewer would still notice it second.  Finally I put the small grey box in the right hand corner because it was the least important and I wanted the viewers to see it last.

Concept.  This is a poster for a movie called "Clerks 3."  It's a third installment off a Clerks series made by Kevin Smith.  It states what time the premiere is, how much, and where it's at so anyone that is interested is able to attend
