During this weeks Remix segment, we were asked to complete 7 stars worth of Mashup Assignments. The first assignment that I decided to do for this segment was to create a Movie Trailer Mashup. This assignment asked to take a movie trailer and have the audio be completely opposite of what the movie actually represents. For this assignment I decided to take the movie trailer of one of my favorite movies “Bridesmaids” and make the audio of the trailer sound as if it’s a scary, when in reality it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve seen. The audio trailer that I used was of the movie “The Apparition“. The reason I used this movie was because I thought that the audio course of events sounded like it would go really well with that of the Bridesmaid trailer. I downloaded both movie trailers onto my computer using www.keepvid.com then I uploaded Bridesmaid’s into my iMovie, but took the Apparition trailer and uploaded it into audacity in order to get the audio. I then combined both the trailer (muted) and the audio in order to produce a scary version of the Bridesmaid trailer and make my own Remix. This assignment was very interesting to do simply because I have already seen the bridesmaid and I know that it’s not a scary movie….. when I added the scary sound to the trailer it made it a lot more interesting. I felt like I was getting ready to watch an entirely different movie. I was also surprised to see how well this specific audio fit into the movie trailer, I didn’t expect them to go so well hand in hand. This Mashup Assignment was worth 4 stars. I can officially say that I’ve made my own remix!!! It’s awesome to see how easy it can be to combine different forms of media in order to produce a new product that no one else has ever done.
Bridesmaids Trailer Remix:
Total= 4/7 Stars!
The matchup here is so well! Did you edit it to do this or were you lucky? Regardless, the combination of horror and comedy are perfect here, and some of the timing is perfect (like when the audio is talking about viruses and the ladies are sneezing).
A few things that would have helped in edirit, some features in iMovie. You can impost both clips there, and when you put them on the timeline, there is an option to “separate audio track”, so that the video and audio of each are independent. If you then delete te audio from the Bridesmaid, you can then slide the audio from the Apparition under the video (and then delete the video from the second movie).
From there, if you use the “Split Clip” command, you can do somethings to tighten up, or move bits of the audio around to fine tune the mashup.
I really like your choices and how you got them combined- but what is the story then- are weddings scary? Should they not be treated with some joy? What is the apparition of this wedding? What does this say about the way we look at such things?
Hahaha Enisa this is hilarious! I love the combination of a scary movie audio segment with a comedy trailer, perfect! My favorite part was when they are all in the bridesmaids dress shop and all getting sick and the audio says “It spreads from one person… to another” lol the lining up was perfect and hilarious! Great job!
