Initial ideas- Evaluation of the discussion

EVALUATION

After having presented my ideas to the group I received feedback on those ideas I presented, this gave me a bigger picture as to other peoples opinions, and not just my own. With regards to the feedback, I found it to be a good form of constructive criticism. All members of the group responded well to my pitches and there were mixed reviews on which idea people preferred. The idea in which people seemed to prefer less was the idea that could have been a short film or trailer, whereby a girl finds a stack of newspapers about a missing girl; featuring herself. And the general favourite seemed to be the storyline involving the imaginary friend. Although with regards to the imaginary friend plot idea it was said that this may be quite difficult to execute in terms of the time frame that the film is set over, as it is a span of many years combined into a short film showing the characters ageing development. Therefore meaning I would need multiple actors of different ages that look similar in order to successfully carry this out. Although this may be difficult to perform, if I can execute it well, I feel as though it can be very effective - so as these group members stated I will have to be very precise within the casting process.

Magazine advert; Spotify logo

Image
I figured that the magazine advert looked a little bare in the bottom right hand corner, therefore I needed something to add in here, to liven the magazine up. It was suggested to me by one of my peers that I add the Spotify logo and put, 'now available on' just before the logo. However instead of having it in black and white like the other social media logos, I thought it would add more of a pop of colour to the advert if the logo was the signature green, yet only subtly as the logo is smaller in scale compared to that of the rest of the information presented. I took the image below from google, of the Spotify logo to use within the magazine advert. Then later added the 'also available on' using the same 'Arial' font from photoshop that was used for the information about the tracks. Therefore meaning I ended up with the magazine advert you can see below.

Genre specific- Submarine short film

Image
Submarine is a 3 minute short film, produced and directed by Cameron Whiteford and a company called Acid Flicks. Its reason for being made was that it was to take part in the 2015 Røde film competition, this short film is essentially a coming of age story centred around a young girl who loves to swim, I thought this may be relevant to my chosen storyline as it is centred around a child along with being narrated by the character. The camera shots used within this short film have proved to be successful in help to aid the storyline and narration, a wide variety of shots have been included such as; mid shots, long shots, close ups and also a few dirty shots. Within this variety of shots, I feel the strongest are the long shots and close ups, due to the fact that the long shots give such a sense of location along with enabling the audience to connect to what the characters are seeing, giving a sense of being. The very first shots shown is a passing shot, in which a close up of the girl...

Magazine advert planning; Image and background

Image
As shown within my digipak planning, I took various images of the model, in different positions. This is the chosen image for my magazine advert. The reason for choosing this particular image is due to the fact that, it matches the simplicity of the digipak image, as well as using the same model, and silhouette idea (to reflect the album title). The fact that she is holding the flowers further promotes the naturalistic element that ties together the digipak and the magazine cover. This is the colour swatch that will be used as the only colour element within the magazine advert, used as the background for the top half of the advert. The fact that I have chosen to use this colour is due to the fact that it is subtle and not too overbearing, linked to the fact that this colour has been used consistently throughout the entirety of my digipak. To contrast this, the use of the colour black will also be featured, yet within the bottom half of the magazine advert. In turn t...
