- SLR Digital Technology
- PowerPoint
Adobe Photoshop was used to create both my magazine cover and my film poster. This allowed me to experiment more with the different tools available. To help me create a professional looking piece that matches the standards of say Empires Magazine covers or a poster produced by paramount for a real film. Photoshop allowed me for my poster to use a blue tinge gradient that added a ghostly effect rather than just the typical dark colour scheme of a Horror poster. It also allowed me to merge two photos together with was a necessity for showing both sides of the possession ( the before and after). This is so that the films storyline is slightly portrayed through the poster. The typography used create a old fashioned religious effect. The Gradient also used does not take focus from the picture as the image needs to dominant the poster to show the real effect of the merged photos.
For my magazine photoshop allowed me to create a similar layout from a well known film magazine Empire. This helped me structure where to place the images, headlines, pugs, bar codes and the main header. It also helped me split the image of steps into half normal and half possessed. As the different tool available such as the Vain tool allowed me to create a sinister evil look to one side of Stephanie face.
Th
Prezi
Prezi was very useful for doing my publication for my magazine. This helped me produce different ideas and organize all the different elements needed to be put on my magazine cover. I think its a lot more effective than power point as your able to progress your ideas in more details by for example creating paths from my original idea.
Imovie & Final cut
Even though imovie was used for the editing for are trailer. This was Stephs main job so I didn't play much part in the editing. Although i did over look most of the things she did using Imovie. I think it was very effective for making the trailer flow better and it also allowed us to add soundtracks and non diegtic sound effects. Although I did do my podcast on my progress on Imovie. This was useful for editing my podcast because at points I stalled on what to say.
Blogger
As i was new to blogger this year i found it was very useful in my research and planning stages p
of my work. This because it allowed me to organize and edit posts. As well as allowing me top upload pictures and videos and drafts of my trailer, poster and magazine cover.
Garage Band
This was used for the making of our sound for our trailer. It was also used for me making my podcast. It allowed us to edit and add effects to are sounds. It also enabled us to add voice overs.
SLR digital camera
This camera ensured that all are pictures were of good quality.
Youtube
I used this in the research and planning stages for analysing codes and conventions of a horror trailer.
It was also used as part of my audience feedback as we shared are trailer on here for people to view and comment.
Power point
This was used for presenting are first original idea to the group i would be working with.
