Our finished media film

Finished Poster

This is our finished poster done by Ed. As you can see we worked on all the drafts and mock ups that we did. As a group we decided how it would look. We also used a common feature of posters which is using the same font.This means the audience will recognize our film because of that font. We also chose to use the bright orange background because of the research we did and we found that it was common our genre of film. 

Finished magazine article

This is a screenshot from indesgin of our finished magazine. There might be slight changes to some of the writing and gramma but the layout and desgin of this in final. As you can see I took elements like the big picture from empire magazine and the credits box from Sight and Sound. This was because I didnt want to make a magazine exactly like one that has already been made. I thought that using both elements would make it much better overall because then I could put in the things I wanted, as well as what the readers want.

Magazine article research

This is from the magazine Sight and Sound. We looked at this and Empire Magazine (below) to decide what style and what elements of the magazines to use.

This is the Empire magazine that we looked at. We compared both of the magazines and took elements from both. Such as the big picture and the verdict box, from Empire, and the cast and crew list and the synopsis box from Sight and Sound.

These pictures show my analysis of the two magazine articles I did during class. In this I pointed out all of the elements they both used and this made it much easier to decide which techniques to use in my magazine.

Media and the online age post

This is somthing I found to do with our exam work which is a very good example of how technology is changing the world and how it can be used by the police and people to help one another. To an extent this also relates to we media and democracy for both the protesters and police.

Planning: Call sheet and Week shooting plan

This is our groups call sheet. This was also created very easily on Celtx and was also given to all the members of our group. This was very important for organisation for all of us.

This is the outline for shooting in week we were going to shoot in. It tells us what days we are shooting certain scenes. This is very important because it shows us who needs to bring what. For example props that are needed on specific days.

Planning: Shooting schedule and scene summary

These sheets are the shooting schedule and scenes summary that we created on Celtx. This was a very easy program to use and these sheets were given to every member of our group so we all knew what was happening when.

Planning: Planning around our lessons

This is a list of the lessons that we would miss for our filming that we created for our teachers for media and other lessons.

Poster: First, second and third draft

This was a very rough outline of what we wanted our poster to be like. After this we thought more about it and adapted it to a better version:

This is the better copy of the draft of our poster. As a group we have decided to use this as out poster, have the boy on the front Dick and the background is going to be bright orange.

 

 This is a rough mock up done by Ed in our group. This is very close to the finished product and is what we wanted, this was a great help while making decisions on the final poster.

Poster: Research

While researching the genre of our film we had to look at what that entailed for the other elements of the film. Such as the poster. The best poster we found was 'The 40 year-old virgin'. This is a very simple post with just the character on it. And from this the audience make their own assumptions about what the film is about and who the character will be in the film and what will he be like.

Locations:Dicks house and bedroom

These are pictures we were planning on using. We didn't use the room that we planned to shoot in on the top picture. But we did use the house from the bottom picture.

Character: Research

This is just part of character research we did. These two characters are from different TV shows, on the left is from 'Skins' and the right is from  'The Inbetweeners'. These two TV shows are very widely known by our audience and have the same type of character as we want. This is important because if the audience notice this type of character in other shows or films as well as ours, they will be familiar with what we are trying to create.

Character: Detailed information about the character of Dick

This is a detailed plan of the character of Dick that we did as a group. This was very easily created on Celtx and has all of the information we need to know about our character. This is the result of character research that we did.
