Genre Shifting Movie Trailers:
One of my favourite types of video projects are the genre-shifted movie trailers where creators take movie clips and retell the plot of the story in a different genre than the original. Popular examples include (see if there is one here you have not seen)The Shining as a romantic comedy, Mary Poppins as a dark horror film, Home Alone as a horror/thriller, Superbad as a thriller, Ferris Bueller’s Day off as an indie “coming of age” film and Mrs. Doubtfire as a horror film.
Genre-shifting video projects are valuable in a number of ways. As video creation projects, they do not require a high-level of technical ability. With basic video editing capabilities you can create videos similar to these using iMovie trailer. This projects challenges you to think about the essentials of storytelling while considering the elements of creating video (e.g., music, timing, edits/cuts, effects, pauses/silence, etc.) for various genres.
