Ancillary Task 2 (Film Magazine Front Cover) - Developed Edit of Second Version

These are developed edits that I have produced of my magazine front cover, with each more recent version having developed adjustments to it. These adjustments mainly include adding more cover lines to the front cover in order to develop it and make the front cover more detailed. This allows more information about the content of my film magazine to be on the front cover and will provide more detail as to what will be included in key parts of the magazines. Moreover, the audience will have a better understanding of the type of the content that will be included in my film magazine as they will be able to read the cover lines describing the most important parts of the magazine. This will make the target audience more inclined to buy the magazine front cover because they will have a good understanding of the key pages in the magazine and will therefore want to read the magazine in full to find out more about the key points described on the cover. 

Ancillary Task 2 (Film Magazine Front Cover) - First Draft

Using Photoshop, I have created a basic template to produce my magazine cover. I have done this through using an image of my main character that I took earlier in the year and by creating a title in white text with the font Silom and a size of 36 pt. I have chosen to call my magazine 'Superstar Magazine' because it is probably the most suitable name for the conventions and genre of my final film. In addition, it also fits the conventions of what a typical name of a film magazine front cover would be. 

In order to develop my magazine front cover, I will add cover lines that are relevant to the narrative of my final film such as quotes that say: "Life on set with Rossi" and "Interview with the star of upcoming film World At Your Feet".  I feel that this image may not be powerful enough to be the front cover of the magazine and I may have to change to an image that is stronger and more suitable for the conventions of my magazine cover as it is related to a football-themed film trailer. In addition, the title could be more suited to sport rather than superstar which is more related to film. I may call the magazine 'Goal' as this would be more suitable to the genre of my final film. The font and colour of the text doesn't look strong enough as it isn't in capitals, which is what magazine covers have as titles, and the colour white doesn't really portray the conventions of my final films. 

Ancillary Task 1 (Film Poster) - Developing Font Of Tagline

When using Adobe Photoshop to create my film poster, I developed the font of the tagline multiple times. This is because I decided that the previous fonts that I used didn't fit in with the genre and conventions of the main product. The original font that I used on the tagline was in block capitals and was the exact same type of font as my main title and credits. Therefore, I decided that it would be more aesthetically pleasing if the tagline was in a different font and the text was in lowercase instead of it being uppercase. The colour of the tagline, red, remained the same because it has a lot of powerful connotations such as passion and desire and links quite well to the genre and conventions of my film trailer. This is because the connotations passion and desire link to the conventions of my film trailer because the main character has a strong desire and passion to achieve his goal of becoming a successful footballer. Furthermore, it also links to the young footballer's burning desire to get through any adversities that he encounters on his journey in order to achieve his goal.

Main Task - Film Trailer - Adding Voiceovers

To further improve my film, I have decided to add voiceovers by a peer student because I think that this could strengthen my narrative and reinforce the fact that becoming a successful professional footballer is a hard and challenging journey that involves a lot of hard work and training. In order to plan my voiceovers and allow my peer to read them for the audio recording, I have devised a list of voiceovers with time-codes of where they will appear in my final film and for how long. In addition, I also added some explanations to the voiceovers to enable the narrator to further understand the meaning of them and proceed to aid them with their narration.

List of voiceovers with time-codes:

• 00:00:18:33 - 00:00:21:13: "Every guy has to make a decision one day: the girl or the game" - reading out of inter-title by narrator
• 00:00:22:08 - 00:00:26:00: "The hard work begins with constant practice on the training field. If you encounter struggle, it is just another obstacle that you have to overcome to be the best"
• 00:00:31:15 - 00:00:34:31: "Every time you miss a shot in practice, it fuels you to improve"
• 00:00:36:34 - 00:00:38:38: "You will feel downhearted and that all your practice is being wasted. But don't let that stop you from achieving your goal; to be successful in this sport. You must pull through, it is as all part of your journey to achieve success"

Class Feedback On Film

To help me improve my short biopic film trailer, the whole class watched my film and provided verbal feedback suggesting improvements and what they liked about it. On top of this, they also provided feedback on an online spreadsheet for my trailer on which the whole class provided feedback for each other's films.

The feedback that was provided on the online spreadsheet included:

• Peers liked the font used for the titles in my film trailer
• Good, clear narrative to the trailer but the audio in some parts of the trailer could be revisited and corrected/edited. 

This feedback will allow me to add more improvements to my final film and ensure that is the best possible project that it could be.
