Truthful Movie Poster:

Truthful Movie Poster

Plot?
I do love this movie, and my first time watching it, I had no real idea what was going on. I imagined it would be something like Pulp Fiction, where after a few viewings I would finally see a plot, but this movie is not a Tarantino film. I still …

The Story Behind the Story–
The human existence is sorrowful and futile, we are alone or we are insincerely together. We are traversing along a path that seems too passable. What is thrown at us we do not conquer, we simply absorb. But we have the power to see it …
Dunkirk

Can I be honest for a minute
I thought this assignment was really funny, and I knew I wanted to do it, but it was hard for me to decide (1) what movie to do and (2) what the truthful title would be. I looked through some examples, but I couldn’t think of a movie …
Sequels
Original Assignment (3 stars)
Sometimes sequels can be a hit or miss in the film industry. For this assignment, I found a movie poster on Google for the film Taken 2. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one, not so much. Now I hear they are possibly making …

This is either the second or third time I have used “The Lego Movie” for school work, which is strange because I thought the movie was okay. Any who I thought it would be appropriate to share the truthful side of this movie maybe before you go and see it, …
Highly Illogical: The Movie
My friends and I are horror film buffs. We’ll see anything remotely tagged as horror…and we even love terrible syfy movies (if you feel the same I highly recommend Komono Vs Cobra. Hilariously bad vfx and acting and plot…). When one of our roommates raved about a french horror film …

She Would Rather Party in Oz
Why was Dorothy so set n going back to drab, black and white Kansas? Was Auntie Em that much of the life of the party?

I went for a few more details, …
Remix #3 (Design): Dumb in 90 Minutes (Truthful Movie Poster)
I definitely wanted to give this assignment a try–the challenge (as Lindsay points out)–is generating humor with the remix. Is my effort funny? We shall see.
Which film to choose? The one that came to mind immediately was Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), a Nicholas Cage / Angelina Jolie matinee…
The Lost Cause: Jurassic Park
I chose to do this assignment because I read the description and thought it was funny. I looked through the other projects that people had done and I liked how it is a creative project, but it also it’s a joke or sarcastic remark about a movie. So there is an art element to it […]
Remix #3 Reflection: Truthful Movie Posters
For this remix project, I was inspired by both the Halloween season and the emergence of advertisements promoting the next, and thankfully last, installment of the Twilight films. Being a huge fan of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, I have watched the evolution of his character and story through television, serialized novels,…
Truthful Movie Poster for HP7pt2
Face it, if you followed Harry Potter from movie 1, you were going to watch the rest of them. I fully support the fact of splitting the movie into two parts because some of the other movies seemed crammed for time, but it’s still fun to give the directors a…

Truthful Movie Poster… 3 Stars!
I chose to do a truthful movie poster about Magic Mike, a movie about Channing Tatum’s career as a stripper before he became the most gorgeous actor on the market. It’s definitely a girls movie, granted I’ve never seen it. But who wouldn’t want to see Channing Tatum take his…

Tutorials So Far
Here’s my tutorial for my attempt at a truthful movie poster.
1. Even though I’m beyond raw with Photoshop, I still stuck with it for this work. Call me stubborn.
