Finished Products

This is my finished poster for my production Traffic. I think the finished product has come out nicely and provides a good social realist look to my work.

This is my finished magazine Showcase that has the main story about my film Traffic.  I think I have added a twist on the conventional conglomerate magazines by implementing a social realist effect on it. 

This is my finished trailer for my production Traffic.  I have added a UK crime sub genre to my current genre Social Realist.

Question 4: How Did You Use Media Technologies in the Construction and Research, Planning and Evaluation Stages?


This prezi was looking at all of the technologies I have used from the construction, research and planning stages of my work.

This was a prezi talking about all of the items I have used in the development stages in my work.



Question 3: What Have You Learned From Your Audience Feedback?

 
On this blog, I have the movie that I created for question 3 that allows you to look at how the feedback has helped me form my work.  The iShowU was done because when looking back on the movie, we didn't mention how the feedback has formed the trailer, so we did a separate video for the trailer.  

Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?



Research and Planning: Final Poster

This is my final finished poster for my production Traffic.  It has come a long way from my original design, I have done a full revamp of my design and layout which has given it a new look.

Research and Planning: Cover Progress

At this current stage, I need to clean up the edges of the image of me and Wes to give it a cleaner look.  Also it is missing in the middle of the page, their is something missing and the space needs to be filled. I am going to place a story in the middle to fill the space.

Research and Planning: Images















These are a few images that I have took for my magazine to add something into the background so it doesn't look so plain like it did before.

Research and Planning: Magazine Cover Development

This is some more of the planning stages that is being continued on my magazine cover.  I have made some big changes like changing the front of my mast head to a simpler style.  I then filled in the O and the A gap just to give it a little bit of something to make it stand out.

Research and Planning: Front Cover Continued

This is the next step of my magazine. I have started to add some more element to the cover to try and fill the empty spaces.  At the moment I am not happy with the way it is looking. I am going to be making big changes to my cover including the colour scheme, enlarging the image and changing the effect on the image.  We both look two pale and we don't stand out as much as we should.

Research and Planning: Front Cover Progress

Their hasn't been much changes from the last session on this magazine cover due to my concentration being in other areas.  I am just trying to get more going on the page to try and catch the eye of my viewers.

Research and Planning: Front Cover Progress

Research and Planning: Front Cover

This is the progress that I have made so far on my magazine.  This is a early stage of my design.  Nothing is set in stone because I don't have a real direction with the magazine at the moment.  I am open to change off my fellow class mates, I will be getting some feed back on this soon off them.

Research and Planning: Sound Research

 This is us doing some sound research for our trailer.  We don't think the sound we used will be relevant to our genre because it isn't a horror. 




Research and Planning: Photo's

 These are some of the pictures that I took for my front cover for my magazine Showcase.  I needed a simple picture of me looking cocky and wes looking normal. This is to try and meet the genre of the film and the story line















This is the image that I will be using for the front cover.  I have made it darker and gave me and Wes a touch but using the spot healing tool.

Research and Planning: Magazine Tag Line:Worditout

This is me trying to get some ideas for a tag line for the magazine that I am making called 'Showcase'.

Research and Planning: Traffic Tag Line:Worditout

These are some possible tag lines that I could have for my film.  In a social realist film you need to have something short and sweet to make it seem real but at the same time you don't want it to seem cheesy. 

Research and Planning: Color Scheme Ideas

This is some of the ideas that I have had about my color scheme that I will be implementing on my magazine.  A few of them are my ideas and then the bottom one is the color scheme that is used for all of the Shifty advertising so that could be a possible one to alter.

Research and Planning: Audience feedback

This is me asking for feedback on my colour scheme for my magazine. I wasn't happy with the style of the magazine I had so I asked for feedback on my colour scheme.
