Production Log-Double Page Spread
To create a back ground image for my double page spread I began with screen shots from my main media
product.
The chosen images I have selected are from the
events which lead up to the climax this was to ensure that none of the exciting scenes were seen before hand, this would draw
readers into watching the film to see how “Sophia”
was killed.
As well as this I have chosen to uses either a image of just “Sophia” this was to highlight the main character and also
because of the angle and position of the camera for this shot. The angle in which the camera is at gives the idea
that “Sophia” is being watched and she can see
herself but is unaware of what could be following her.
In contrast I have chosen the option of using a image of
both the antagonist and the protagonist. This was because the split screen shot in both pictures give the impression “Kwame” is watch “Sophia”.
After taking into consideration my
findings in my research of similar
media products I have chosen to us the
image of “Sophia” alone in the mirror
showing her reflection. The
reasons being it is part of the codes and
conventions used in similar media formats
to leave some anonymity to the
killer/stalker in both teen horrors and
thrillers. As well as this the image
supports the events leading up to
“Sophia's” killing as she remains un aware of any dangers till the end of the film, this will be identifiable
with both those who have watch the film and those who are
due to watch the film.
To develop the initial screen shot of the film to the background image i had a look at similar products. My findings concluded that many had effects to enhance
and convey a sense of anticipation and a feeling of uncertainly.
Using the transferable skills I acquired in AS I altered the blending mode of the image once I had a look at the different various I chose the “Linear Light” mode
to give the desired saturation. I then went on to adjust the saturation and light further till I reached the
favoured filter.
The use of the sepia filter with the hard light mode give a similar effect to a fire holding the connotations “Sophia” will soon get burn and be in danger. As well as the altering of the saturation on the figure is convey the idea that any young person can be the victim of an online or Stanger stalker this emphasises the moral of the original fable “Appearances are deceptive”.
After this I changed the format of my image to be exported into InDesign. Once there with the use of columns I inserted my text by using the text tool and placing the text.
The extended text I used the flow tool to position them in the second column.
The finished text was aligned and
ran smoothly into the 2nd column this
followed the conventions of a
real media text by using
columns and having a unified
formant. Sticking to the codes and conventions of real media texts with a
similar audience to my own I went on to http://www.dafont.com/ to get modern and youthful
fonts. The main fonts I used were “Corbel” http://www.dafont.com/cor
http://www.dafont.com/corbel.font bel.font I used “Madman howling” http://www.dafont.com/madman-howling.font which is the text font for my Film poster as a way of the audience relating to the two text, for instant when seeing the poster after reading
the review it will in turn cause them to remember the film and its storyline and want to watch the film. The use of the other fonts
was to create an in house style which would also allow for a regular reader to identify with the magazine.
The fonts used were modern san serif fonts which would be similar to the fonts of the text normally read by a typical member
of my target audience.
Here I made screen shots of the popular social media site Twitter. With an increasing amount of emphasis on communicating with more advanced formats and being able to express your opinions to the world and wider audiences; I have used fictitious online tweets raving about the film and its success. This is some thing which is done more and more as a way of interacting and engaging target audiences.
Similarly the idea that a magazine company has recommendations for the readers is another form of interacting with audiences buy showing their interest in their tastes and entertainment . The use of this badge (which I found on http://www.google.co.uk/ ) uses the codes and conventions of similar media text helps in the authenticity of my media product.
