Research and Planning - Finished Trailer!

Finally completed the trailer! Sound effects added, voice over and editing transitions thanks to Chelsea!

Research and Planning - Magazine done!

Finally completed my magazine! Completed the barcode and changed the colour of the titled cover lines.

Research and Planning - Poster done!

Finally completed my poster! Amended the steel tongs and added the production logo!

Research and Planning - Production and Company logos

Chelsea made the logo as it's part of her mis-en-scene etc and will be added to the trailer!

Research and Planning - Location Recce 2 for Poster and Magazine

Another area we took photos for, but I haven't used them in my magazine and poster.

Research and Planning - Location Recce 1 - Poster & Magazine

This is one of the locations where we even filmed our trailer and saw it fit to take photos as we could then put them on our poster and magazine and both of them actually do.

Research and Planning - Risk Assesment for Magazine and Poster

Considering me and Chelsea took the photos at once and together, our risk assesment were the same so this is what we cameup with as risks for what could of happened when taking photos and the precautions taken.

Research and Planning - Poster update

Finally nearly finished my poster! Just got to add the tag line which I'm not quite sure on yet and possibly feature Chelseas name in it, but I'll do those quickly next lesson.

Research and Planning - Magazine update

Also nearly finished my magazine! Changed the colouring of the background and also changed my masthead font to Bebas Neue as it looks more bold, the other font didn't look right. I've also changed the font of my cover lines to fill more space and make the magazine look more presentable. I'm yet to put something across the top above my masthead that features titles etc, and I'm also to put something like a "PLUS" in the red box that I may change. A barcode is definitely needed! I'll do this all next lesson :)

Research and Planning - Photos for zombie on poster

I took these photos as I wanted to use them for my poster in the background. I tried different shots and close-ups and also used different settings with brightness and contrast and different flash types - I obviously found out one was too dark and one would be too bright to place into my poster.

Research and Planning - "Ideal poster look"

OKAY THIS IS REALLY BAD QUALITY...

BUT

I did this at home only to mess around with the tools so I could filter one of my zombie images into the poster and considering I don't have the work at home I've not had the layers to go off :( So I've just had to cope and make due with a simple poster JPEG but I can get an idea of what I want.

I've kind of used a mixture of tools ranging from eraser with different opacity settings to try and slowly fade it out into the background. I've also used the smudge tool to try and blend the ending of the image into the background so it doesn't look like a 'straight cut off'. Also used the burn tool around the eyes and on the pupils but then using the dodge tool to whiten the actual eye and make it stand out looking quite vibrant. The sponge tool has been used around the eyebrows but I kind of don't like it so I'm not going to use that in actual practice tomorrow.

Research and Planning - Poster update

I'm still yet to edit Chelsea into it properly and place a faded out zombie face over the layer of the clouds, so it fades out kind of. Final changes to be made throughout the week!

Research and Planning - Magazine updates

I've added a background to the magazine but haven't fully completed it yet ofcourse. Yet to re-crop the edited picture over the masthead and place the image back underneath. Final touches to be made throughout the week!
