Movie Poster Promo

The next project that was assigned for the G.T. class was to create a movie trailer and move poster for elementary students to see. The title for the movie that my team and I agreed on was "Young and Broken Hearted". The main character in the movie is Miles Frazier playing as Ziggy Twisty. Ziggy is a freshman and he is experiencing his first year in high school. He gets bullied and teased, the first day of high school was nothing what he thought it would be like. In my movie poster Ziggy is depressed due to what he has been going through his first week of high school.

The title of my movie poster, "Young and Broken Hearted", practically tells you what the movie is about. Ziggy is a young freshman and goes through a very tough first year of high school. But then he meets a very special someone, but it all takes a turn on him. Now he is broken hearted. So that is mainly why my team and I chose to title our movie that we are making "Young and Broken Hearted". In my movie poster I used a lot of effect and one of the most important one is kerning. Kerning is the process of adjusting the space between letters. Kerning is very useful when editing your title for a movie poster because it makes your title more appealing and makes your title stand out.

After I put all of the different layer effect and filters onto my movie poster, it was a huge transformation from the original image. I thought that the effects made the main character stood out a lot more. The effects on the title and information stood out as well. Every effect that was added related to what the movie was actually about. To me it seemed like an actual movie poster you would see at the movie theaters!

Proactive or Procrastination?

To be honest I am a procrastinator, sadly. I'm not really proud of it, but I seem to be able to manage my GPA to be at an average of 3.66. I am a procrastinator because I seem to always do most of my homework and projects at the last minute. I get distracted very easily by social media, games, and TV. But  I seem to always turn in my work the next day on time.

I actually have a lot of free time after school, but I guess I'm just lazy to do any work. Usually when I get home from school I just eat and go on the internet. I usually do my homework at 9:00 pm and usually finish at 10:00 pm or 11:00 pm; it's becoming a routine for me. If I have homework during the weekends, I do it on Sunday at the usually time. It usually depends on what assignment I need to do. If I understand it and know what to do, I do it at the last minute. But if I don't understand it and don't know what to do, I work on it the minute I come home from school or when I have free time. So I'm mostly a procrastinator but just a little proactive.

Honestly I really hate being a procrastinator. I always think to myself, "Okay Leslie get your stuff together and start doing your homework early so you can have more free time". But then I get distracted. If I were to change my work habits is to do my homework or projects as soon as possible. I would change my work habits by using my time more wisely and by slowly taking small steps into being more proactive. For example, I could start doing my homework at 8:00 pm, then 7:00 pm, and so on. By doing that, I'll for sure get a lot more sleep!
