The Duff Student Trailer

Here is something we did for entertainment video, before the big short film. The concept was to find a movie with a high school theme, and recreate the trailer. Most of us did movies like The Breakfast Club, Mean Girls, and things like that. A girl in our group named Mackenzie recommended that we do The Duff. Before, I had never seen nor heard of the movie, but I rented it and watched it for this project. We did a section of trailer #4 and most of the actors and extras are from our class for convenience's sake.

However, we were never free from problems, whether it was the wind, loud extras, or the one part where I didn't get sound (since I couldn't find the SD card with the original clips, I had to export them from Lizzie's premiere project. The sound couldn't export successfully. At this point, I was so done I just said "Whatever!" and added captions). As you can probably tell, it wasn't my favorite project of the year. But, I still got it in and done. And I learned one valuable lesson: Export clips the day you film them.
