- Professional film magazine covers
- Professional film posters
- Professional horror genre trailers
- horror music that would be suitable
the group started by researching different film trailers on the Internet using www.youtube.com.
we looked at many different types of trailers, e.g horror, action, comedy ect. we also found trailers that had been edited with a voice over to make them come across as a totally different film. This helped us to understand about how the quality of editing can really make or break a trailer, we have learned the importance of good editing and wrote down the things that we thought were very important and had to be added within our own media product.
there was many different trailers we looked at, and to remind us of the basic's we had to upload the video's to our blog, to post the video's from YouTube onto our blog we had to share the video and use the code. We also had to create our own grids of nine where we print screen shots of a trailer, or a music video and wrote about the angles and shots that were used and how they had an effect onto the audience. we uploaded these picture's using www.scribd.com we had alot of trouble uploading these grids of 9 however we managed to get there in the end.
we uploaded images of professional film magazine's and posters so we could easily go back and remember what the basics were if we didn't have our list with us which we also used as a backup. we also wanted to display that we have done alot of research into stereotypical media products that we could compare our own too. We uploaded them by using blogspot's own up loader.
After we completed all of our research and had a pretty good idea about what each media product had to include, we then wrote a list in our book so we could keep going back to it to remind us as well as the pictures we had already uploaded to our blogs which reminds us as well. we started to plan our trailer by using a sheet of paper that had a grid set out, we then manually drew our own initial idea's then came together as a group to decide our final idea's for our horror trailer, we then scanned our storyboards using a scanner which then copied onto a memory stick, which we then copied from the memory stick onto the mac we was using. After uploading our storyboards, i created a mood board for the genre of film that the groups trailer would be. i did this by going onto www.google.com and typing in words that are related to scary or a horror theme and copied and pasted them onto a word document which ended up looking like a montage, i uploaded this again by using scrib.d and uploaded it onto my blog.
Media Poster and Media Magazine cover
to create our film poster and magazine cover, we used photo shop to do most of our main editing and we used a number of different techniques including the douge tool and the lasool tool to cut out pictures with no outlines so they look professional and good quality. From creating a magazine cover last year we had pretty good experience with photo shop although we still did need some help, however with the use of the Internet as well we knew how to do most of the editing. we rescaled some of the pictures for our film poster and mostly copied and pasted images from the Internet for the advertisements of other films being promoted and used the lasool tool then rescaled it and moved it around the page for where it looked most suitable. we changed the colour of the 'R' for our magazine cover title we did this by using the wand tool and then changing the colour so that only the one letter was a different colour. we also took the small print from another film poster and edited onto our own and because of the colour of the black poster we extracted it from it blending it really good and looked like we had edited the words in ourself. For the title, we used the lasool tool to highlight the letters then used the rubber to rub out he white background so that it was transparent and it would blend onto the background nicely!
Media Trailer
We created our trailer using, premiere pro. firstly we shot all of our footage using one of the schools video camera and a tripod. however our first filming session we picked up a broken tripod so some of our shots weren't straight however we took a note of what shots to redo and the next time we went out we brang a working tripod and reshot the footage that we needed and it looked alot better. we used these camera's and tripods to complete our filming.
We then uploaded all of our footage onto premiere pro but before we did anything we looked through it all and deleted some of the scenes that didnt come out so well and some of the scene's where we was just messing around and we deleted the bad shots, after we viewed all of the shots and we had some very good footage that we could use, before we uploaded the footage we had to uploaded the music we wanted from YouTube so we dragged the file into premiere pro and dragged in onto the bottom rows of the editing section and cut it to the length we wanted it, we then dragged each bit of footage chosen into the upper lines and cut them to the length we wanted them. we then added cross fades and dissolves so that all of the shots blend in nicely together and there not so quick cuts. when we wanted to music to change we added in a scream so that it would separate the two bits of music as well fit in with a shot as well as building up to the end slow music where the titles are being shown. we edited the quick cuts so they all fitted in with the music which fitted in really well!
for my questionnaire i went onto gadget, and added in my questions and changed the date when the poll is over so there is long enough for people to answer. because i didn't have enough answers i went round to ask people face to face, i then used the scanner and pasted my sheet of questions onto my blog manually. i copied and pasted scenes from my trailer for evaluation purposes, to do this i held down CTRL, CMD and 4. this then gave you the option of cutting the image out and it automatically saves to desktop. The main website i used for all of my blog work was www.blogspot.com, where i posted all my planning and researching as well as the final products. I used a number of technologies for the planning, research and construction of my media products, from studying media last year also helped me to complete my media work this year as i would not have know how to use most of the programmes. by using all of these technologies and programme's on the macs i believe that the group's media trailer and ancillary task's have came out looking professional and therefore reflect the quality onto the amount of hard work put in.
