In a world....

In addition to my coursework in the Digital Media program this spring, I took a course in Basic Editing; as is requisite for my Minor in Video Production. The class is intended to teach the basics of Final Cut Pro. I say 'intended' because instead of editing we did a lot of casual talking about movies and reading out loud, with a light amount of editing practice peppered in. Nonetheless, below is my final project for the class.

For this assignment, we were to take a footage from an extant film and edit a trailer that portrays said film as a different story or genre. For example, taking a romantic comedy and making it look like a horror movie. For another example: taking Star Wars and making it look like a love triangle with a murderous twist. See below.

Feel free to ridicule my lack of polished editing skills in the comments below.
