Research and planning- Editing log

 

This is my editing log I have identified all the editing that took place while editing our filming of the trailer, I have included specific things such as adding titles and transitions and also how long my trailer is suppose to last and what things I need to do to rectify it all and get a completed trailer.

Research and planning- Codes and conventions of a film magazine

The codes and conventions of a film magazine are:

The type of shot that is used on the front cover of a film magazine are mainly close up.

Only three/ four colours maximum are used on the front cover to maintain the simplicity of the magazine.

 

Along the top of the front cover, additional information that could determine that the audience will buy this magazine is featured. E.g. free posters, entry into competitions and so on.

Like any magazine, they feature a big, bold, eye catching mast head at the top of the page.

The maga zine needs a bar code, price and coverlines to give an idea of what the magazine is about.

 

Research and planning- Codes and conventions of a film poster

The codes and conventions of a film poster is the:

Written language:
To be able to tell what the poster is trying to reveal or say to the audience . for example the names that go across the top of the poster are examples of celebrities that are in the specific film, so by doing this people may be more attracted to watch the film as they may have there favorite celebrity.

Lighting: 
The lighting depends on the specific genre of the film, if it's a horror then it will always be low key lighting, if it is romance then you will get some colours related to love or romance and if its a comedy then you will get  bright colours to make it look interesting.

Typography:
The typography is when something is coloured it emphasises the words and gives you a brief idea of what the sentence is telling you.

Images:
The images are set in a cinematography shot where it is either a close up, mid-shot, long shot, wide shot.

Narrative:
The narrative tells the story of what the film is about such as the words or sentences on the film poster.

Colours:
The colours represent the type of genre it is so if its horror you will probably see black, red and white where as if it's comedy maybe orange, yellow and light green colours.

Layout:
The layout is mainly a big photo or image, tagline at the top, production and distributions logo, the cast crew and the release dates of the film.

Research and planning- Distribution logo change

I had to change my distribution logo size due to it being too big and it shows it too big at the beginning of the trailer so I changed the font size and made it smaller so that it fits the screen.

Research and planning- feedback on poster, Magazine and trailer

Here are all my feedback from the class of my poster, magazine and trailer. Some of the developments that the feedback sheet stated are things like adding colour, changing the font sizes or adding a good background on the poster.

Research and planning- unedited footage

This is an unedited footage of our filming for the horror genre trailer which we did some in college and some in Hyde park.

Research and planning- Progress on Magazine

This is another updated version of my magazine all I need to do here is add the colours, which I am kind of stuck with at the moment.

Research and planning- final chosen font for magazine

This is another font that i am using just like the empire magazine. The word empire is very simple and still, this is why I am using this sans serif font for my masthead.

Research and planning- progress on magazine

This is another updated version of my magazine that I have created now what i need to do is add  colour to it and the other things that are needed on a film magazine.

Research and planning- Progress on Magazine

This is another version of my horror magazine that I am creating but I still have quite a lot more things to add to it.

Research and planning-3rd Progress on poster

This another progress on my poster I have used more tools to create even more effect so it looks like a real poster. As you can see my poster follows the three colour rule that I have put for example, red, black and white.
