Process of creating the clock

To the right are three examples of different digital clocks, we wanted to have a clock on our front cover of the magazine to show that the short film will relate to some element of time and that there will be a rush, from the first three alarm clocks we can see they use bright colours as the numbers and have a shadow around as the light is reflected and we have included this into out clock to make it look more realistic.

The fourth clock down we found and loved the idea as it says “too late” and as both our students will be late for what they think is there exam this we felt fitted in perfectly and we have combined both ideas from the different alarm clocks.

Creating the clock

Using Photoshop we were able to create the needed affect firstly we drew a black box by clicking on the shape tool and the colour box, once the box has been

drawn to the appropriate size, right click on the layer and go to blending options, here we created the blue outer effect and we went to the same blending options to create a similar effect on the text and the white outlined boxes between the text.

Once on blending options we clicked on outer glow and picked the colour we wanted (blue), from this we then edited a variety of different options, the Opacity would make the blue less transparent as we moved the arrow to the right, noise makes the blue outer glow seem distorted and it creates a fuzzy look, the spread option would make the glow less faded at the side

and make the glow thicker, size option would edit how bit the glow is, we didn’t put size on ours as we wanted it close to clock and range is very similar to spread it edits the rang of the blurry bit around the edge. We repeated this process for creating the shadow around our text as this was continuous effect we wanted to achieve.

Creating the text

Once clicking on the T symbol a bar opens at the top for us to decide what text to use, we used a Digital SF to create this effect.

We then created three boxes exactly how we did the first but in blending options we used a white outer glow and made the size very small to get our alarm clock
