Trailers and Genre:

Wednesday 12th January 2022 LO - To explore the different features of iMovie and experiment with different genre features. I decided to use the Jurassic park trailer which is an adventure movie. I decided to change it to a horror film because I think that would be the best genre to change it too. 😊  Wednesday 19th January 2022 The old story line is that the new T-rex escapes and kills a lot of people.
