Animoto slideshow

Using the website Animoto, i created a moving image moodboard which includes pictures that have inspired and are related to my film. The music used (Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag) has been used as it matches the rom-com school life genre of my teaser film.

The Alice in Wonderland poster analysis is breaking down each poster which was printed to advertise the film. I found that each poster had the same layout but a different character and colour scheme.

In this teaser analysis, it shows the film teaser i was analysing which was Alice in Wonderland 3D. The questions raised column is the questions that went through my mind whilst watching the teaser. These are key to a teaser as the more questions the audience are asking about the film, the more they are likely to be influenceed to watch the film in order to get the answers to the questions.

The right hand side column is the shot list. This is a list of every different shot which is used in the teaser to get an understanding of which shots and angles are used and in which order the credits and sequences are.

Music Magazine Final

Contents Final Draft

This is my final draft to my contents page which has been edited after receiving some feedback to make slight improvements. Firstly, the box around the 'FEATURE ARTICLE' text has been made shorter at the top to make to equal around all the sides of the text. This makes a difference as it makes the contents page look a lot neater.

Another change is the writing of each page. On my first draft it was bold, unbold, bold, unbold... but i have changed it so it is all unbolded because it makes it easier on the eye as it was over-complicating the page beforehand.

The page numbers on the corners of each of the four pictures did not all match up to page and its number on the right side so I edited them so this was no longer the case. This brought the contents page together and gives the pictures more of a reason to be there rather than looking like they have no relevance to the page.

The white border around 'CONTENTS' has also been made thicker. This makes the word stand out more and have more involvement on the page. It also stands out more because the navy blue and black are very similar colours so this separates them a lot more.

Finally, the grey box around the editors note has been shortened after the picture of the editor so it now aligns with the grey rectangles around the subheadings above the picture.

All the changes above have helped improve my contents page in making it look more and more like a genuine music magazine contents page.

Contents Page 1st draft

My contents page followed my mock-up precisely. The contents pages are all articles and pages which relate to the drum and bass scene which is most important as it is a drum and bass magazine. I have also made sure that the majority of the pages revolve around the kickers on my front cover. This is important because the reader may have picked it up to look at a particular part of the magazine and this will create ease for the reader to find the right page within seconds.

The colour scheme i have gome for is very similar to my DPS; black background with white writing. I also chose to have grey boxes behind NEWS, EXCLUSIVE and GIGS N RAVES to emphasize these as subheadings to the pages.

The four pictures which overlap each other have all been chosen as they link into the contents pages perfectly and were all taken by myself. The pictures have been placed like this because they make the page look more interesting and eye-catching.

Lastly, the editors name in the editors note is in Edwardian Script to make it look like it has actually been signed by the editor. This adds to the contents page looking as realistic as possible.

Contents mock up

Contents Mock Up

My contents page mock-up is the last page left of my music magazine which i have to create. in order to make this page merge with the rest of my magazine pages, i will have to keep the colour scheme of white, navy blue, grey and black. I will make this page very similar to my DPS in that i will have the background black with the white writing.

Firstly, the word 'CONTENTS' will be written in exactly the same form as the title on my DPS. This is because it is clear to read and will keep my magazine consistent.

Secondly, the quick blurb about Nik Mimic will feature underneath the title as that is the main feature article. I will also feature a picture next to this to make the contents page look more appealing. The text for this will be in a box to make it stand out from the rest of the contents page and to emphasize that it is the most important thing.

The four pictures on the left side of the page are going to be slightly disaligned becaus ethe rest of the contents page is straight so this will make it look more exciting and inviting. The four images will coinside with my contents pages written on the right side.

The contents pages will have headings which are; GIGS n RAVES, NEWS and EXCLUSIVE. These three words seprerate the pages so whichever section the reader wants to look at they can just see the pages which go under those three headings rather than having to find the pages that interest them.

The editors note at the bottom of the page is important as all magazines have this on their contents page. This allows the reader to have a wuick blurb of what they can expect in this issue and what is planned ahead for the following issue.

DPS final draft

My final draft of the DPS is not much different to my first draft. Firstly i had to change where the page number was (from the left-hand corner to the right) because there was too much going on on the left page.

Secondly, i added a slug at the top left-hand corner because this is a magazine convention that i missed out which is essential to make my DPS look as realistic as possible. My slug says 'FEATURE ARTICLE' so the reader knows that this is the main kicker article from my front cover.

Lastly, i added some finishing text at the end of the interview to close it off. This has information about how to get all of his new songs and gives the webpage where you can get that information from; his twitter and myspace.

DPS first draft

This is my first draft of my DPS. The image i used is the same model as my front cover to keep the trend going throughout the magazine. To edit the image, i used gaussian blur to give the airbrush effect. I then used a fading paintbrush in black to match the background colour of the left-hand side of the page. The fade was used to make the image merge with the other side of the page otherwise it looked too separate. After the fade, i used an eraser tool and erased any black which went on the models face in order to make him stand out even more.

The font used for the title is exactly the same as my front cover to keep the same flow and colour scheme throughout. I also believe that this font with the white border makes it stand out enormously and if any fans of this DJ were flicking through the magazine I'm sure it is bold enough for it to catch their eye and therefore they may decide to read the interview.

For the interview, i had to make it two columns instead of the original plan of three on my mock-up. This is because the writing looked to squeezed on the page and wasn't as appealing as it looks now. The interview is quite short but has all the information that is typically asked by an interviewee about a musician. I also decided to have the quote in large font becuase it's a humerous quote which will draw in the audience. This was also chosen as it sticks to the codes and conventions of a music magazine.

The page number at the bottom left hand corner is a reference from the contents page which i will be creating after this DPS is completed. Underneath the page number, the name of the magazine in underneath as i found that the majority of magazines also used this technique and i wanted my DPS to look as realistic as possible.

Double Page Spread Mock-Up

This is the basic outline for my double page spread (DPS). After looking at a few music magazines i have noticed a trend in all DPS' which is that they usually have the main image covering a whole side of the DPS (mostly right-hand side). From noticing that, I decided to also do this in order to stick to typical magazine codes and conventions. The text on the left hand side of the page will be an interview with the DJ Nik Mimic who stars on my front cover. the picture unerneath the middle coloum has been inserted to make the page not look so daunting and full of words and threfore making it more appealing to the target audience.

Front Cover Improved

This is my improved front cover, final draft. There wasn't much i had to edit from my first draft apart from adding a dateline, issue number and price which i instered to the left of the barcode. I decided to insert them there because this is typical of a magazine to have that information with the barcode.

First Draft Magazine Front Cover

This is my first draft for my music magazine. As you can see, i have stuck to my improvement mock up which helped a lot when creating the front cover. I decided on a dark blue, white and grey colour scheme as they are the three main colours which dominate the image.

The aspects that i like about my music magazine is that his eyes look as if he is reading the cover lines. I have chosen simple bold sans serif fonts for my masthead and main kicker so they are the two things that stand out the most on the page, followed by the cover lines.

One aspect which i have missed out on my front cover is a dateline, issue number and price which i will have to edit in.

Front Cover Mock Up Improvement

After analysing a few more magazine front covers and trying to create my actual magazine front cover I have realised that I need to change a few things on my front cover around to make it fit around the main image.

I moved the main kicker down to hide the fact that I cloned out the cigarette and the fingers looked slightly skewed. I have also decided to make the cover lines follow down with the shape of his arm to make it look more interesting and also so they do not cover the models' arm. Thridly, my masthead is going to be DnB but with the 'D' flipped. this is a short masthead so it will be more appealing on the left hand corner. I have also decided to put the masthead there to blanace out the writing on the front cover.
