Avatar 2 review

With the success of the first movie, the release of the second will be in our cinemas soon.

James Cameron's box office master piece, 'Avatar' has a sequel which will be in our cinema's soon. New creatures and characters are all on the menu for this brand new installment.

 There have been a small number of sci-fi, action/adventure movies that have truly captured the hearts and minds of audiences. Movies of epic proportion such as The Matrix trilogy, Lord Of The Rings trilogy and the Harry Potter series, have all delivered some spectacular, cutting-edge special effects and character originality. And because of this, it has opened up a flood gate of new and imaginative ideas for further projects.

James Cameron's 'Avatar', which was released in 2009, was a new wave of movie magic and direction. The success of this movie brought in $2 Billion which surpassed Cameron's other blockbuster, 'Titanic'.

Avatar has become such a classic, that there are drawings and photos created by fans of the movie all over the internet paying homage to such a well thought out movie. Since the first film, there as been an out-cry for a sequel. James Cameron has heard the cries and a second part to the movie is on its way and there is even talk of a third.



It's believed that in the second installment, the story will not only be taking place in the rain-forest, but will involve oceans and possibly species of the ocean world. Things may take place in a different world from the first movie.

Some of the same actors from the original movie are prepared to be a part of the new project and there is likely to be others joining the crew to add additional flavour to the adventure.
 


With even more CGI technology to wet our appetite, it'll be quite interesting to see what new creatures and characters the team will think up next for the sequel.

How to Create a Movie Trailer

Have you ever wanted to make your own movie trailer, but not really had the money or resources to do so? Well believe it or not just having a cheap video camera, a video and picture software is all you need. Plus a creative imagination to help put the idea together.

Once you've created an idea for a trailer, use your camera to take photos and capture video of places, events and even people who don't mind being seen.

If you are shooting to create a romantic trailer, I would recommend panning your video camera across from left to right slowly and steadily. Making sure to capture object like flowers, blue skies and waterfalls or fountains.

If however, you want to create a horror scene, then filming night-time scenes of quiet streets and abondoned areas and buildings will help to create that atmospheric feeling. Using your camera during the halloween season will encourage intensity in your shots.

When you are satisfied with your shots, load them up on you chosen media software and edit out the thing you don't want against the things you want to keep. From the software, add some special effects and titles to your project and if, unlike me, you're good with musical instuments, then create a sountrack and add it to the trailer. You can also use audio to record your voice to narate your trailer or ask someone to do the voice for you.

It's also worth creating a movie poster for your project like the one featured above. There are many tutorials online that can show you how to create an interesting movie-like poster.


Once you have completed your trailer and you are satified with the end result, show off with it to friends, family or even members of the public through social network sites.

Here's one I created earlier. It's called 'The Tomanekians: Day Of The Invaders' I'm not great with music so it may sound a little out of sync. Enjoy!
