Final Film Review Magazine Page

This is the final piece for our first ancillary task, a magazine film review article. I personally think Matt did an excellent job with creating an authentic magazine film review! It all looks very realistic and appropriate for a magazine article to be about. He followed all the of guidelines and research aspects that we had previously researched...

Creating A Film Review

We assigned Matt to be in charge of the designing and overall creation of the final article piece. He gathered all of the research that had been done and any resources we had for him to use on his poster and got to work. He used Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 for his piece. Matt firstly focused on placing the main elements and layout on his digital canvas so that he knew exactly...

Photography for Magazine Article

From the research we had done on film magazines and their review sections, we knew we had to include at least one photo in to our media piece in order for it to look authentic. So, on one of our shooting days, we wandered up the stations tracks a little bit and spent half an hour taking some really nice photo's that we could possibly use for this ancillary task in particular. We...

Creating Film Review Content

One of the main features that are required in a magazine review is textual content. Without that, unless it is a poster or images relating to a previous piece of text, the page you have is of no use what so ever and has no purpose to it. After my research into content of a film review magazine, I took on the role of a film reviewer and created, what I would imagine to...

Film Review Magazine (Content Analysis & Research)

I then decided to create an analysis and research the actual content that you would put within a film review magazine. Using Prezi, I created a presentation that shows the research information I came up with from researching various film review articles....

Film Review Magazine (Design Analysis & Research)

Design is a big part to creating a magazine page, as without it or a good design, readers will often grow bored of the content they are reading and either stop reading it or let their minds wander, not taking in the information they are being given. Also, if someone saw the blank page, it is likely no one will even attempt to read the content that lies within the page. So, we had to come up with a design for our magazine review article. Matt decided to do a radial analysis on the design and layout of magazine review pages and upload it to SlideShare. ...

Film Review Magazine

Another task that we are needed to complete is a magazine article reviewing our short film. This task would require both literature and graphical design skills to present the piece of media. It is our choice whether we review our own film as having a positive or negative impact on its audience and we must make it see as professional and authentic as possible, trying our...

Second Draft of Short Film

Here is the second draft cut of our short film, Anchored Renegade. It is available at full 1080p HD quality but will be improved on at a later date. After this draft, we gained some feedback from our teacher and decided his ideas made quite a lot of sense. So, we set to work on focussing on the areas that needed manipulating, such as the argument audio...

First Draft of Short Film

The first draft of our short film was then uploaded on to YouTube. As this was only a draft, there were mistakes and cuts that we will need to fix at a later date before releasing the final project. Afterwards we were given some feedback from our media teacher. Katie created a video to respond to the feedback...

Post-Production: Credits and Titles

One of the more minor, yet still important, processes of creating a film is having sections that contain information such as the title of the film and credits. There is no definite or right way to present this content, allowing film makers to use their creative (or simplistic) skills to present the information. We had already created a very simple,...

Post-Production: Putting It All Together!

We finally had all of the footage and resources we needed to create our short film. We began to import the footage into Final Cut Pro, on a Mac, and get to work with editing our footage together. We'd first start off by creating a basic version that literally just contained all the clips we wanted to use with no edits, clipping or extreme manipulation. It purely...
