Evaluation Task 4 - How Did You Use New Media Technologies in the Construction, Research, Planning and Evaluation Stages
CAMERA & TRIPOD: I used a camera and tripod to film my trailer, I shot my trailer over the course of three days, which you can find in these vlog links where I document my production as I film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdcZ8SHnwD0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3mXf7LMyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v8lYiaCQ8c The camera and tripod were essential to the construction of the trailer as a lot of the footage in both the trailer itself and the vlogs helped the backbone of other projects like the magazine and other projects for other courses I'm doing. In these vlogs, the use of the camera is examplified and the lack of the tripod in one of the vlogs shows how lost I'd be without this equipment. PREMIERE PRO: Premiere pro is the software I used to edit my trailer. Considering that 831 companies use it for marketing (which is what I'm trying to do with my trailer) and over 1200 companies use it for entertainment and media production combined, I thought...
Evaluation Task 1 - In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop or Challenge Forms of Conventions from Real Media Products?
Frame 1: FONT One of the ways I have challenged thriller trailer conventions is with the bizarre font. Usually with thriller trailers (as gathered from my trailer analysis) the font is usually quite simple and bleak to add a sense of realism to the film. However, I decided I would go in the other direction and make it stylish by making the font seem metallic (to emphasize the emotionless terror that lurks in the film) and the font has no structure, with letters sticking out and some letters being the wrong way up. This connotes the insanity and scizophrenic themes within the film. This is counter typical yes, but I believe adds identity to the film and helps the title as you remember it more. The movement is also rather unconventional, with each letter coming on after the other as oppose to the title coming on all together. I did this to connote the idea of mystery, that like every good mystery, little clues come out slowly one by one rather than finding out the outcome straight awa...
Evolution of my Magazine Part 3 (THE FINAL MAGAZINE)
I have fixed the golden ticket font error. To make the puffs stand out and make them less generic, I coloured in certain words and made them slightly diagonal. This makes them seem more wacky and odd, which fits the indie/cult director persona I'm going for.
Evolution of my Magazine PART 2
In this draft, I decided to shrink the barcode as it was unnecessarily big., I also changed my puff on the bottom right bigger and changed the font colours to make it stand out more. I then decided to make the cover line go across the entire magazine to help it stand out, it also looks similar to the masthead which adds a familiar simplistic style. However I felt that the middle section of the magazine was feeling empty, so I decided to add some puffs and cover lines as well as a website link to add convergence and synergy to my advertising. I also decided to make the masthead bigger in order for it to stand out more. The only thing wrong with it is the font for the golden ticket sticking out. This error occurred when I attempted to move the sticker down so we could read the title better, this is something that can easily be fixed in the future.
