Media Evaluation on FIlm and Ancillary TAsks

Media A2 Evaluation on Prezi

This is the prezi used as a guide during the filmed evaluation. It shows the few things that i missed out in the filming.

Ancillary Task: Magazine Review 1st draft

This is a first draft of the magazine article. The content is almost finalised but the design needs work to look more professional. This is because i used microsoft publisher instead of photoshop which looks markedly better. The photoshop version needs work but will be uploaded shortly.

Film Magazine Review

I have researched much of this in physical magazines and it is hard to get this on the internet and onto the blog. The main magazines i have looked at are Empire, Total Film and The Guardian Guide. Empire is the only one which I can really show how i have used and adapted their magazine reviews as they are printed online.
Below are a couple of examples from the Empire Reviews section which have been helpful models for mine.

Ancillary Task: Poster

Below is the poster I created on the photoshop programme. It conforms to many other posters of not only the genre but general other posters for films. The use of quotes from critics, the single image by itself blending with the other aspects, the white writing and the date all show how the poster conforms.

Ancillary task

My task in this is to produce the film poster. I am using "Photoshop" which is fairly confusing to use and isn't as simple as i thought. I have completed sketches of the finished poster. It's aim is to be hard hitting and quite dark. In this day in age most thrillers and drama's appear in there own genre, but we would like the audience to question ours.

Soundtrack

Producing the soundtrack on a software called FL studio has been difficult and challenging. So far I have a rough edit of what we want to achieve, though due to the editing and sound effects completed after i had created the piece it will have to be chanegd to orientate these. As the film is also 5 minuetes long it isn't as simple as making music for a trailer, we have to create something from scratch, which is catchy and doesn't bore the audience. Using a theme for a soundtrack like the ones we hear in "Harry Potter" or "Star Wars" are of high standard and are created specificly to attarct the audience, this is what we need.
