twilight vox pop

Twilightvoxpop by xxEmmie.Cxx

To make this I had to ask a voxpop question, "Edward or Jacob", once the recording was done, i had to edit it on Audacity. In the recording there where lots of gaps, so I had to delete a lot of bits from the sound clip. I also changed the volume because some bits were louder then others. I also made it have a natural flow to it.

media ducking

Media ducking by xxEmmie.Cxx

To make this, I had to import a sound clip into audacity sound and then add music underneath it- a music bed. I then muted the music so I could just edit the spoken bit of audio and delete bits, change the volume and other stuff. Then I un muted the music and had to use the envolope tool to change the volume. I had to make the music bed less louder where there are spoken bits of audio- this is called ducking. Then where there were gaps with no spoken audio i had to make the music bed louder. I think for this i acheived a distinction because the volume is well balanced and i can explain why i chose the music and explain the effect of it has on the audiance, which is a positive effect.

vox pop ! what do you prefer... by xxEmmie.Cxx
To make this, in a group we had to do a bit of recording to get peoples answer to the voxpop question. Once this was done I had to edit it. I deleted a lot of bits and used the envolope tool to change the volume.
I think for this I achevid a pass or a merit

Mood Board

These mood boards are for a boys gaming magazine for 14 +

For the first mood board I chose what Boys like so people can see what the actual target audiance is, such as they like football, sports and other stuff.

The second mood board is what I would advertise in a gaming magazine, which would be games, characters in games that lots of people know of such as mario and sonic. I aslo would advertsie some games concel because it is a gaming magazine

Kim Kardashian 100 words

Divorced in 72 days!

Kim Kardashian divorced her new husband Kris Humphries in just less than two months! The couple started going out in October 2010. Then Kris and Kim got engaged in May 2011. Everyone was very excited and Kim spent a huge sum of money on the wedding! She spent a huge $2.5 million on a 65 carat sparkling diamond headpiece! Their wedding then took place on August 20 2011. The couple got married in sunny California; Kim wore an expensive wedding dress designed exclusively for her.

After blowing off this huge amount of money, in a short space of time Kim divorced with Kris because she “was not ready”

This also goes over the word limit of 100 and is 112 words, this is not the best aritcal I have wrote and I think to improve I should of exagerated a bit more to make it sound a bit more over the top

Divorced in 72 days!

Kim Kardashian divorced her new husband Kris Humphries in just less than two months! The couple started going out in October 2010. Then Kris and Kim got engaged in May 2011. Everyone was very excited and Kim spent a huge sum of money on the wedding! She spent a huge $2.5 million on a 65 carat sparkling diamond headpiece! Their wedding then took place on August 20 2011. The couple got married in sunny California; Kim wore an expensive wedding dress designed exclusively for her.

Then soon after the wedding just seventy-two days gone by Kim Kardashian was seen without her wedding ring on in LA, and then she confessed to the press that She had divorced Kris. She says “I was not ready for it”. Kim was upset after she had divorced from Kris but she said it was for the best. Kris did not take the divorce to well and became upset and angry with Kim, especially because they were only married for 72 days. Once Kris had gotten over the divorce, he made up with Kim and they are still good friends.  However A source from a website states that “it was pretty much an arranged marriage from the start”. “Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She was not really in to him but hoped she would develop feelings for him, but it never happened”

To Improve this work I should use more of the 5W's and also stick to the word limit beacause I went over 200 words, this artical is actually 240 words long !

Evaluation!

Media evaluation

1)      The main skills I developed by doing all of the task above are how to mask an image to make it look professional, how to create a magazine cover in Photoshop by adding text and the masthead, to do this I also had to choose the right colours and fonts to go with the image I chose. Some other skills I developed were how to make an image go from colour to black and white. I also learnt how to create a fashion page in Photoshop, I had to mask loads of different images of clothes, choose a theme for my fashion page and add text, and I even added shadows to the images of clothes to make them stand out more. I also learnt all these skills whilst creating a fashion frame page for a magazine.

For the Indesign work I had to do, I learnt how to create a 3 column layout by adding frames, an image and pull quotes and place holder text. I also learnt this for the double page spread but for that I learnt more about drop caps and how to make your work look like it was an actual page for a magazine. For the Lady Gaga page I also learnt how to wrap text do it goes around the image.

I learnt how to write an article for a magazine/ newspaper by using the main pieces of information and the 5ws’ which are, who, what, when, where, why.

Other skills I gained was how to write a professional script by using the right font and sticking to the rules, such as the slug line and the characters name always being in the capitals. I also learnt how to create a story bored and different camera angles/ movements.

2)      The task I enjoyed the most would have to be creating my own magazine cover. I enjoyed this the most because I learnt a lot about what goes on the cover of the magazine, and how each magazine makes their own cover look unique and stand out. I liked then using some ideas from other magazine covers to create my own cover.

3)      The skill I would be best at is probably writing scripts because it is the easiest thing to do and I found it fun to think up of my own story and then show how I would like it to be acted out.

4)      I think I could use these skills in the future on this course by creating my own magazine, with the front cover and the pages. Also if we write a script then do a story bored for it I could then film it.

5)      The skill I need to get better at is masking images, even though making my own magazine cover was my favourite task I found it hard to mask the image because I always forgot how to.

6)      To get better at masking images I could do more work on Photoshop and mask different images and then maybe each time I try to mask the image it will become more clear to me. Or I could watch a video on how to mask an Image on Photoshop and then write down what I need to do in my book then try and use this to mask an image on Photoshop and make it look professional

   

Story Boards!

To create this story board I had to think of all the different camera angles and shots I wanted to use. This was hard because there is such a huge variety of camera shots so I had to chose the right camera shot for the right scene.

I had to describe what I would want the audiance to see this was also a challange

I had fun doing this but it is un finished and I did find it hard.

Script 2- Taxi driver

EXT.STREET.NIGHT

DANNI walking casually along the street; texting her friend

Her phone then rings

                DANNI

Oh Hey VICKY how are you (VICKY talks back) cool, yeah I will see you tonight then. (VICKY talks) Yeah sure, bye.

DANNI puts her hand out for a taxi, one pulls up, she get in to the taxi.

INT.TAXI.NIGHT

                TAXI DRIVER

           Hello darling, where can I take (itches nose) you?

                DANNI

Hey, can you take me to the Oval station please; it is just about 30 minutes away.

                TAXI DRIVER

           Your wish is my command (smirks)

                DANNI

           Yeah sure whatever thanks

DANNI gets her phone out and begins texting; the TAXI DRIVER is looking at DANNI in the taxi mirror and is smirking to himself.

                DANNI

Hey, excuse me; you just missed the turning to get to the tube station

     TAXI DRIVER

Oh did I now, well I’m very sorry dear but there is a diversion, we will have to go the long way now.

TAXI DRIVER cackles to himself, but DANNI hears him laughing

               

DANNI

(Worried expression on her face) Are you sure there is a diversion, wouldn’t there be a sign saying diversion or something?

     TAXI DRIVER

Clever one you are, what a shame you will not be waking up for tomorrow. Your friends will miss you very much.

TAXI DRIVER starts to drive incredibly fast. DANNI starts to panic

                DANNI

(Screaming) Let me out, what the hell is up with you? Your driving way to fast, what if we crash? Let me out now!

DANNI tries to open the taxi door but it is locked. The TAXI DRIVER looks pleased with himself, and a smile appears on his face.

TAXI DRIVER

Don’t worry DANNI, there is no need to try and escape. There is no way out!

TAXI DRIVER laughs manically and DANNI screams and kicks at the door of the taxi and bangs on the window with her fist.

                DANNI

           Where are you taking me, we are not even in London anymore!

                TAXI DRIVER

           I’m taking you to the edge of this cliff

TAXI DRIVER laughs so much he starts spluttering

DANNI chucks herself against the taxi door in desperate need to get out, she then burst out crying

In the distance is a cliff edge leading off into the sea

The TAXI DRIVER drives over the edge and DANNI screams

There is an explosion

          

This is my second script. I applied all of the same rules as I used for my first script. The font is in courier new because this is a font that is very easy to read.
I also added a cliff hanger to this script and I thought about each of the characters carefully.
Danni, is a very normal city girl who is always on her phone and the taxi driver is slightly mad and drives over the edge of the cliff. This would be the opening scene for the TV show or film. I decided that the taxi driver drives the taxi over the cliff because this is more exciting then Danni escaping from the taxi.

Script- boyfriend cheating

EXT.BUS STOP- NIGHT

EMILY sits down at the bus stop

MARIA sits down next to her, swaying a little bit because she is drunk

               

EMILY

SHANUA, we need to get you home, you’re far too drunk!

EMILY looks at MARIA with a worried expression on her face

MARIA looks at EMILY and starts to cry

                MARIA

Help me, I feel to sick. I hate him (shouts) I HATE HIM

MARIA is angry and kicks the bus stop and grabs EMILY’S wrist

                EMILY

Don’t worry about him MARIA he aint worth it, if he really loved

     You then why would he dump you for AMY?

MARIA lets go of EMILY’S wrist and starts pacing back and forth.

          

           MARIA

     I don’t know EMILY, I just don’t know

EMILY gets up and hugs MARIA but MARIA pushes EMILY away from her

          

MARIA

this is all your fault EMILY, if you had never took me to that stupid party this would of not happened. I hate you so much!

EMILY looks startled/ surprised at MARIA and starts to cry

           MARIA

You think you’re so cool, don’t you. You go around telling loads of lies. AMY never went out with MARK. She never did ok!

MARIA slaps EMILY on her left cheek. EMILY stumbles and MARIA grabs EMILY’S bag and takes out her phone

           MARIA

(Scrolling through EMILY’S phone reading out her and MARK’S texts)

(In sarcastic tone) Hey MARK how is you? Do you wanna meet up this Saturday at AMY’S party? EMILY hey, I’m not sure, if MARIA finds out about us it would be awful. MARK, MARIA would never find out, we could just say you went with AMY. EMILY you are evil.

(Shouts) explain all those texts EMILY

           EMILY

(Crying) I never meant that, I’m sorry MARIA; I did not mean that ok. MARK loves me and I love him. I don’t know what he saw in you, you’re just some alcoholic freak who goes around treating people like dirt.

Bus appears in the distance EMILY wipes her eyes and her makeup smudges. MARIA looks at EMILY in disgust.

                MARIA

(Shouts) I trusted you with my life EMILY but you are only capable of backstabbing, telling lies and getting together with your so called friends’ boyfriends. (Voice getting louder) you think you’re just so cool, don’t you EMILY don’t you.

Bus comes closer towards bus stop EMILY steps closer to the road. As soon as the bus comes MARIA pushes EMILY in front of the bus and then jogs away from the bus stop

                EMILY

           (Crying in pain) Help me someone, help me.

EMILY closes her eyes, still crying. There is a lot of blood.

This is my first attempt at writing my own script. I decided to make the script end on a cliff hanger to create more tension and want people watching this show want to watch it again.

I stuck to the rules of script writing, I always wrote characters names in CAPITALS and the slug lines in CAPITALS.

When writing the buisness I always made sure it was in the present tenc, and I said what the people will see, for example if someone is angry, to show this in the script you could say JANE is very angry and kicks the door....

For the layout I made sure when the character is speaking that the dialouge is always 2 tabs away from the edge of the page and the characters name 3 tabs away from the edge of the page and for the business it is to the right of the page

                               

    

    

               

                               

    

    

               

                               

    

    

               

Katy Perry 300 words

One wedding several outfits!

We all know Katy Perry loves to dress a bit over the top.

On her wedding at the very start she arrived in a traditional Indian sari, it was bright pink and covered head to toe in gold sequins. This dress had cost an extravagant £1,500! Her actual wedding dress was much more then this though! Her shoes were gold sandals with pink stitching they were designer sandals from Gucci. They had cost her £50 because they were Limited Edition sandals. She had paid for her hair to have caramel highlights and wore extensions so her hair went down to her waste.

The second outfit was a pair of tight skinny jeans and a belly button top which was safari style. She wore black knee high suede boots. They had lace all the way up the back of the boots and were shipped to England all the way from LA! They took two weeks to be shipped over.   

Apparently the boots ripped halfway through the wedding! Katy Perry was not happy and she called the company that made the boots to complain. She tried to sue them but was unable to.

Katy Perry’s actual wedding dress is probably one of the most expensive wedding dresses ever brought! The dress was hand made by one of the most exclusive designers ever. The dress was a classic pink wedding dress. The bottom of the dress was really puffy and the top part had dark pink sequins forming the shape of a flower. The dress was made of the finest silk around. The dress was so heavy Katy Perry had to have people lift up the very bottom of the dress while she was walking down the aisle. Her sandals were rose and barely visible because of the dress!

To make this artical I had to think of a catchy title that will grab the audiances attention. Then I had to link the artical to the title. I created up the outfits Katy wore and I exagerated a lot to make the artical very intresting. I linkd the outfits to some of the outfits Katy Perry has worn before so the outfits would sound like something she would wear. I used intresting vocabulary to make the aritcal more fun to read. The target audiance of the artical is people who like to know what is going with celebritys and who find fashion an intresting topic to read about. This artical is 300 words exactly.

A baby elephant as a token of love! Really?

Katy Perry’s and Russell Brand’s wedding was one of the craziest weddings of all time! This extravagant wedding happened on the 25^th of October 2010 in the Indian Jungle and a series of events occurred at this bizarre wedding

During the wedding a man eating tiger decided to gate crash their wedding, after the ceremony had taken place. It was attracted by the loud noise and the bright lights and wanted to pay a visit to this crazy wedding. 5 body guards with guns had to chase the tiger away before it could cause any harm! 

Russell brand decided to buy Katy Perry a tiger for a wedding present!  And as a token of love Katy Perry brought Russell Brand a baby elephant! Luckily the tiger was not harmless at all and they named the tiger Kitty Purry after Katy’s first cat.

To make this report on Katy and Russells wedding I had to think of a title that would stand out and make people want to read the artical. Then to write the artical I had to use the main facts about the wedding and then change it into my own words. I decided to exagerate a bit to make the artical sound more intresting.
To improve this artical I think I should of used a greater range of exciting vocabulary to make the artical the best it could be. I aslo should of used the 5w's to make the artical more realistic

Double page spread

This is a double page spread, I had to create a double page spread with 3 coloumns on indesign.

Once I had created the two pages with 3 coloumns I added all the frames. This time I had a lot more then 4 frames. At first I placed the image of the two people shopping, then I added the place holder text for the first page. Once this was done I added a pull quote and made the background pink because I think it went well with the shopping theme. Once I had finished the pull qoute on the first page I had to work on the second page.

I added lots of place holder text and then created 4 small frames to place the head shot images in. I had to resize the images carefuly beacause at first they went outside the frame. After I had added all these images, I had to use the text wrap tool to push the text futher away from the image to make it look professional. Once I had done all this I decided to add another pull quote in a different shade of pink and use a bolder font to make the second page have a bit more colour.

I was also able to show people how to do all this.

3 coloumn layout

To create this I had to open a new indesign page and create a 3 coloumn spread.

Once I had done this, I created 3 new frames to place the text in.

I had to add another frame to place my image in.

Once I had done this i placed the image in a frame.

Then I had to change some of the frames around and drag the top part of the frame down.

Then I added the placeholder text.

To create the pull quote, I made a new frame and changed the colour of the frame to red because red went well with the image. After I had done this I added text and made it bold so it would stand out.

3 coloumn layout 2

This is my improved layout, I made the pull quote more to the centre so it looks better

Lady Gaga Indesign

I created this page using indesign

At first I created a 3 coloumn spread then added different frames

After adding the frames I placed the image then used place holder text.

The text went over the image so I had to use the pen tool and click around the outside of the image.

After I had used the pen tool, I used the text wrap tool to move the text away from the image.

I think I moved the text to far away from the image though.

Get the look

This is my Get the look work. I had to mask the images really carefully and choose a theme so that everything would go well together. I masked the boots and the t-shirt a bit badly so I could not add a shadow around them because it looked strange. I added a shadow to all the other items of clothing that I masked well because it made my work look more intresting. Without the shadows it looked a bit boring.

I choose red for the shadows and the text because it stood out amongst the clothing.

I decided to overlap some of the images because it looked more like a fashion page in a magazine.

I chose a big masthead so it would stand out the most on the page.

I stuck with a rock n roll thing because I tought it would be more intresting and profesional to choose a theme rather then put some random images together that don't go very well together.

To improve I think I should of masked the boot and the t-shirt more neatly so then I could add a shadow to them.

Fashion page

To make this i had to choose a frame, and the reason I chose this frame is because it was easier to mask.

I put a ruler in the middle of the page so I could work on each seprate page bit by bit.

I masked the images neatly and for the items of clothing I chose colours that all go nicely together so it does not hurt your eyes to look at.

I chose a twirly font because I though it went well with the type of style I had chosen. I decide too make the text black because it is legable and stands out against the white background.

For the other part of the page I put a floral print in the background so it would have more detail to the fashion page. I masked the image of the girl really neatly so it looks profesional.

I stuck with the font I used before and the same colour.

To improve I would of moved the floral background down a bit because it sort of overlaps the frame.

To make it look even better I would of also added shadows too outine the clothes to give this fashoin peice more depth

Fashion page 2!

This is my new fashion page, I added a masthead then gave it a shadow to make it stand out so the reader will know what they are reading about!

Rihanna magazine cover

To make this mgazine cover, we had to place the image then rotate it horizontly

once  I done that, I had to change the contrast of the image then make it black and white

once i had done this i added the masthead and coverlines then changed the background to blue.

This is not finished yet, I need to move the images left a bit more then add text

Lady gaga magazine cover

To make this magazine cover, I used photoshop

First of all I placed the image, then I masked the image neatly so then I would be able to duplicate the layer.

Once I had finished masking and duplicated, I added the masthead.

The font I chose for the masthead, stands out and is legable.

I made the colour of the masthead a dark purple colour, almost black.

This makes the masthead easier to read then if it was a colour that was a close shade to the background.

For the coverline "Lady gaga", i wanted this to stand out the most so I put it in a different font from the rest of the text on my magazine cover, I made the colour of "Lady Gaga" the same shade as her hair so it is legable and goes with the images.

For the other coverlines, I used simple fonts and some of the fonts are the same as the title.

My colourscheme is gold, plae pink and 2 shades of purple.

All these colours go with the image of Lady Gaga and are legiable and stand out against the background.

Lady Gaga 2

this is my new version of the Lady Gaga magazine cover

I made the fonts all similar colours and fonts and got rid of some coverlines that I did not really need to have.

Kanye west

This is my Kanye West magazine cover, I used photoshop to create the cover and used the masking tool to make it look profesional. I stuck to using a colour scheme of red and black, and used rulers but my title went over the ruler lines, it is still work in progress. I gave the masthead a big outline to make it look more attractive but if i could change something i would make the other bits of texts on the magazine cover stand out a bit more and make them more legiable. I would aslo move the image to the center so i could add more text on the right side.
After I had masked i used the brush tool to make the image of Kanye West look more profesional and less fake looking, to mask the image I used the magic wand tool anf then changed the size of the wand to make masking the image more easy.
I also used a lot of different layers and to get the masthead behind Kanye West, I changed what layer the masthead was on and dragged it inbetween the masked and unmasked images of Kanye West.

 Kanye West cover mark 2

This is my new version of the Kanye West magazine cover

I made the coverlines larger so they stood out more but I could not get rid of the big outline on the mast head

It is still very similar to the first one I just changed a few things around
