Research and Planning: Plan for the week

Today I had a word with Angela about my progress and she said to focus on my trailer from now on because my magazine and poster is practically finished.

*I need to tidy up the end car scene.
* I also need to have some more discussions and ideas about the sound and score to make it more effective.
*I need to upload my editing log so far

Research And Planning: Sound Influences


I love the talking effect in this trailer, but I don't feel that it is appropriate for mine. On the other hand, there's more non-diegetic sound in the background that I really find effective.


Although I do think that this music is effective, I feel that it may be a bit too dark for my trailer.

I love the trailer score. Esspecially when it gets to about 1 minute, because I love how it builds gradually. I chose to look at this trailer since it's very similar to the genre and narrative of my trailer.

Research And Planning: Plan For The Week

Today Angela sat down with me and spoke about my blog. She said the following and these points are what I'm going to work on the best I can this week:

TRAILER: 

* I need to start working more on the sound. She said she's going to get a voice over of someone saying 'The Unseen' and 'Coming Soon' for the trailer also which may give it a bigger impact.
* I need to tidy up some of the editing in the middle of the trailer.
* I need to find a way of getting the idea that she's had an eye operation over to the audience.

POSTER: 

* I need to increase the size of everything since it looks like all the text is used mainly around the edges, so by increasing the text size and image, it may make it group together better.
* The steel tongs information at the bottom looks too short, so I need to add some extra bits to it.
* I need to add my distribution company and my production company logo at the bottom.
* I still need to add the website address underneath the steel tongs information.

MAGAZINE: 

* I need to tidy up the inside story part at the bottom of the magazine. I'll use the guides to sort that out.

Research and Planning: EVERYTHING up to now.


 
 From watching my trailer, I have cut the sound from the actual clip at the end and positioned it earlier on. I need to sort that out when I get back into college.

Research and Planning: Film Magazine update


  • I think the films at the bottom of the page need to have a drop shadow or a black shadow effect behind them to make them stand out a bit more. 
  • I think that the EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW needs to be bigger, since it's the 2nd largest story on the magazine.
  • I need to line up the 'Quiet please, action' wording up with the edge of the T still so that it makes it look neater.
