Research & Planning: Magazine Update

Magazine Draft

During the week I have being editing my magazine cover on Photoshop, I'm now using margins to guide my text so that it looks more professionalism. Also re-sizing the masthead across the top and adding red glow around so that it stands out and also following my red,black and white colour theme, I have added a barcode, price and issue date and '2 covers to collect' which I was influenced by other magazines.

Research & Planning: Audition one

This is the news reporter (2) audition with Angela Pearson.

Research and Planning - Magazine Font Choice

From some feedback from class mates, I have decided to use this font choice as my masthead for my film magazine. I believe that the font is very clean cut and bold which you often find in other film magazine masthead fonts. I will now begin to produce my magazine cover using photo shop software.

• Continue producing my magazine.

Research and Planning - News report editing

As we are using a news report in our trailer, we have decided to use the studio with the green screen, so then I as editor can then import a image behind the reader so that it looks proffesional.

Research and Planning - Newreport Script

Research & Planning: Meeting session three

Today me and Lucy decided to have a meeting, we discussed that our trailer length was too short so decided to add more shots into the montage, where we would have flashes of black between to add tension. We have also decided that we are going to write our news report script so we can hold our newsreader auditions next week.

Research & Planning: Drafts of production logo

Production Logo ideas

Here I decided to draft some ideas for production logo ideas, I particularly like two and three, I asked for some feedback and they also agreed that three or four was better. My next step now will be using photoshop and play around with different fonts and images to create this logo.
