Action Plan

As of today we have two weeks before half term in which we would like the final print and video products completed, this includes the trailer, poster and magazine front page. I have mainly been concerntrating on the trailer as I have shot most of it. Beth has concerntrated on the magazine and poster and has created a number of titles for both the print products and the titles in the trailer being used.

On Friday as we had no access into our normal classroom this has resulted in a block of getting onto the media server in order to edit the trailer. On Friday I therefore looked with Beth at the slogan we intended to include from the pitch, I have posted this in the previous post and will act on the comments given. On Friday me and Beth also looked at an action plan for the rest of the project and would like to have the final print and video done by the end of half term in order to leave enough time for the evaluation and any problems which may occur.

Today I was going to concertrate on finishing the trailer from the comments we have recieved, however a number of problems have occured with the classroom not being avaliable and also the fact that Adobe does not respond when opening the project. This has become very frustrating considering that we have a tight deadline to complete within.

Yesterday I took home on my memory stick the trailer, as I have installed Adobe on my home computer, however as this is a newer version it is asking for each file which is very time consuming and therefore was not helpful when completeing at home. I will however try this again in order to ensure that the trailer is completed in before hand.

Tonight I have decided to sketch some potential looks for the poster and magazine front page; what each one should contain from the research done, what we will include the match the trailer and the general layout and content for them.I know Beth has already looked into research for posters and magazines but sketching these will allow time to be safed when creating them.  I will look to scan these in tonight so on Thursday we can concerntrate to edit any more feedback for the trailer and create the poster and magazine front cover. I also have had probelms in getting a image for the magazine and poster, as the young lives quite far away. From this I am going to use another actor to take an image by covering their head with a hoody and ensuring that the lighting can allow the image to match the type of genre. This may not work but I am planning to test this tonight. Me and Beth have a still image from the shoot which could be used but we feel that the image could portray more and by taking it professional this can result in a better magazine and poster. I will see how this image turns out tonight or me and Beth did decide on Friday that we could get the rest of the magazine  and poster created and then insert the image after or during the holidays as this will be easier and the best possible way I would be able to get an image of the actual actor.

This is the magazine cover which a still image has been used from the trailer.
