Final Project Metatext.

So I made a movie preview for the story from project 4. I kinda wanted to make it have an eighties feel to it. I remember seeing on tv where they didn't use video as much but still pictures. I didn't take the pictures myself as it was really hard to get everyone together to dress up and take pictures etc. etc. Another reason why I steered away from video, with work and my other classes I had no time. So I tried to make best with what I had. With the help of my roommate we used audacity to record news reports which actually told more of the story, they would have played along with the music and pictures. Unfortunately after downloading the plug in to export from audacity and recording it refused to export the recordings. I am not sure what happened but I think my computer was on the verge of collapse, I may have a virus, or some technical problem happened that I have no idea how to diagnose let alone fix. So there goes the real time part of my project out the window, I know my grade will be hurt by it. I tried.

I picked the music to add a little mystery and intensity to it. I do like how the preview doesn't tell you too much information it's mysterious kind of like the plot. I like the pictures I found, they really match the characters. Overall I am happy with the preview but it would have been sooooo much better with the news reports playing in the background. I had fun and I know my grade will suffer as I didn't completely meet the requirements.
