This assignment was wort (5 Stars) it required me to mash-up two distinct movie trailers. I choose to do Footloose and White Chicks because they both had funny & comedic dance sequences in it. I hope you all enjoy this and have a good laugh as I did.
I couldn’t help but mashup a trailer for two shows filmed in Baltimore. Clips that I downloaded from YouTube of Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire were combined with the theme song of The Wire and pictures with text that I made with an app on my phone to make this trailer. My new favorite digital love iMovie helped me to combine everything together. It’s been years since I’ve watched Homicide: Life on the Street but after doing this 5 star assignment, I might just have to re-watch it once the semester is over.
I download scenes from The Wire and Homicide: Life on the Street and mashed them up in my iMovie app along with the song I downloaded from The Wire (“Way Down in the Hole” by The Blind Boys of Alabama) since both shows were filmed in Baltimore.
As Colonel Nathan R. Jessup in the movie A Few Good Men once said, “You can’t handle the truth!” I love the quote because of one main reason. It describes my favorite basketball player Paul Pierces nickname “The Truth”. So I did this video assignment and it was fun for me. This assignment was worth 5 stars. I created a trailer for The Wire of so far the episodes we had watch. If I chance to remake it, I would because I’ve been quite busy so far coming back home to take care of my mom and surprising my two little cousins that I did today for halloween.
Anyways, I used Windows Movie Maker to create my video. I downloaded the video from media hub to do this and it was fun. I had lots of fun doing this. I did a lot of clipping and I did the videos mostly from this weeks episode. I got a couple clips from different episodes from previous seasons. I added two audio clips which everyone had heard already. Here are the questions I have to ask:
1) What two audio clips are playing?
2) The first audio clip, everyone is able to recognize but the question is which one is it? (Hint: it’s from this weeks episodes that we had to watch)
So mainly all I did was again using Windows Movie Maker and did a lot of clipping from the episodes. Oh I got a video off the youtube which was the only perfect one I found to use for my video. Hope you guys really enjoy it! Here it is!
In this assignment I decided to make a mash-up of two really good movies I’ve seen a while back. The main base of the Movie Mash-up was Elysium and the mashed parts of the movie was District 9. I mashed most of district 9 in the end of the video, because it felt right to how the outcome looked.
This is how it looked in Song Vegas 12
I’ve decided to make a short mock trailer inspired by this video assignment to depict the death of Wallace, a tragic moment from season 1. I also decided to include the effects on D’Angelo and the immediate aftermath. They were both very similar, as they both had a sense of innocence and moral good that is rare in the criminal world. And as can be shown, this mindset doesn’t last long in that environment.
The song used is “Before” by the amazing Jeremy Zuckerman.

The most challenging part about this project was finding the few clips I have
from the show criminal minds. It was hard because I had to find a great clips I
wanted that would go well with the clips from the music video and because of
copyright laws and couldn’t really find episodes. The music videos one of my
favorites and it was cool seeing what I could just pull out from it to using
this assignment.

I decided to mash up two of my favorite blockbusters on the summer. I took a trailer from both movies and took out multiple action sequences. The song used in the video is an OST from the film Inception. The song and action scenes blended well together. The trailer is slightly lengthy because I couldn’t bring myself to cut the song short. The song Mind Heist is such a beautiful composition by Hans Zimmer.
Create a trailer out of movie clips, tv show excerpts, news sources, viral videos, or even other trailers. Consider which pieces you are combining and what the new message is. Here is a template for a movie trailer green screen intro. Have fun!!
