MAGAZINE FRONT COVER;

End Of Project

We have finally completed our evaluation and come to an end with this project! We have really enjoyed creating our trailer and working together to produce a magazine cover and poster.  We are overly very happy with the outcome however, there are some aspects of our project that we feel did not completely go to plan due to technical difficulties.  One main problem we encountered when making the magazine cover was that our shots that we took of Ruth got deleted and we did not have time to schedule another photoshoot with our actress Kira.  Therefore, we had to make do with a still image we sceen shot from our trailer thus resulted in a slighty pixalated affect on our magazine cover.  We are very proud of all the work we have produced in this project and it has enabled us to increase our knowledge in the media industry.

SIGNING OUT :D

Evaluation- Question 4!

What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
This had to be our favourite question to answer as we enjoyed hearing the feedback from our target audience. We understand it is helpful to gain both positive and negative feedback and we enjoyed learning from this, as we know it can help us for future projects.

Question Three!

How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary texts?


This video describes the synergy between our trailer, poster and magazine cover. Our main aim was to include the 'horror' genre within all three with the idea of a spiritual figure. Here we wished to  present this question slightly differently. Thus here we presented stills of our final pieces along with annotations directly onto the video via youtube. We thought this would be easy for you to follow and understand the reasons of our choices.

Question Two!

How did you use new media technology in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Here we made a Prezi explaining the different media technology types we used when creating our trailer, poster and magazine cover. Moreover, the understanding of how new media technology has progressed since the last 10 years alongside our progression of understanding how to use these technology types. 

This emphasizes why we decided to use the template of a mountain showing this progression from technology 10 years from now leading to our evaluation after using these technology types. 

Question Two on Prezi

Question One!

In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge form and conventions of real media products? 


Here we created a presentation answering this question using a new feature to our media department; the green screen. We edited this using the newer version of iMovie after learning how to add the image/clip behind our clip and shown on the green screen.

How we did this:
At first we re imported our clips (due to the crashing of the previous Imac we used) and placed them within the time line, then screen recorded the clip from Youtube of our trailer (as our previous project was on the previous Mac) collecting stills of our favourite clips, print screens of our media final products ; magazine and poster and screen recorded the trailers we were inspired by contrasted by our teaser trailer.

We placed the influence clips/ images over the green screen however this gained a grainy effect and was shown over our faces after clicking 'Green Screen'.  However after experimenting with this we learnt we had to import the influence clips/images first before importing the clips with us, placing over this.

We are proud of the final outcome as we believe it demonstrates our points well and the framing of the influence pieces are well shown.

Enjoy!

PROBLEM

In yesterday's and today's lesson, when we were editing our green screen clips for our evaluation, iMovie wasn't responding as quickly as it normally does. At first we thought that it was because there was a lot of footage on there, but something has happened and we're unsure at the moment exactly what it is, but we can't view or edit our work.

So, because we may have to re-film some parts, and we'll have to edit it all over again, the deadline for our group has been extended so we can finish it. Our teachers felt that this was fair as we were so close to finishing our evaluation and it wasn't anyones fault that the file is corrupted. So we are working extra hard to re-film and edit it all in the next few days!



This is what we have managed to save..
