Filming Update:

Over the weekend i have progressed further in relation to my production (filming) by recording a few shots that will help me get the editing underway. However a shot that I'm going to have to postpone is that at the prison, as HMP Norwich will require myself to speak to their governor which i shall do tomorrow after they kindly gave me his contact details. I hope to have the permission confirmed midweek with timing planned for next weekend. However i also managed to take some photos of my actors these could be possible images for my ancillary products. I plan to be extremely busy this week with work for media studies.

Film Magazine Front Cover Ideas: (UNFINISHED)

After starting with my film poster i feel that i should continue my work on photoshop in order to allow myself to remain familiar with the software.

Photoshop Practice and Poster Ideas:

Due to the fact that i am very knew and inexperienced with photoshop i felt that i could do with practice which could enhance my knowledge to help me with my ancillary products. Shown below is my attempt of making a poster, i chose this image online as it will be another idea that i could recreate by taking the image myself. The reason why i like this shot is that due to football hooligans/casuals being easily recognised by what they wear and like in one of my previous posts i identified that adidas footwear is very iconic for these types of people.

I attained the font for the text from an online website that i plan on using in the near future in order to access great designs to add effect to my poster, the site i used is called dafont.com. Ive chosen yellow and green as my recognisable colours because as i'm basing it on a norwich firm these two colours are easily recognised as part of Norwich City Football Club.

My company name is featured on the poster as after looking at several other film posters its clear that they also use the same technique and style. Finally i chose to 'sharpen' the background as i felt it really brings out the small details of the image, especially in the wall!

Overall i feel this has been very successful and has improved my knowledge using Photoshop and im looking forward to producing my own poster in which the image is that of my own!

Ident Progress:

This is an ident that i and Emily made using Photoshop and FinalCut Pro, Emily was a huge help to this process as her help was needed she has enabled me to produce a satisfying ident. this has enabled me to make a good looking short ident with a few sounds within that i've used from FinalCut Pro to give it a better effect for the 2 second long start to the trailer (ident). I feel this is a good start to the production process and i'm eager to carry on.

Analysing Characters (Son):

By doing these 2 prezi's on prezi.com its allowed me to have a greater understanding and insight to my character and its enabled my character/actor to do so aswell. Although I was not planning on using any of these photos as either my poster image or my magazine front cover image, there may be a possibility that one of the photos taken could be used for such purposes however i am unsure at this minute in time. Overall i am very happy that I've completed one photoshoot of the main character. I liked the affect that the reflcetive jacket gave when exposed to a flash of light however i would like to see what the effect is like during day light
