Research and Planning: Magazine Draft

  • Here is a final draft of my magazine.
  • I have changed my idea a lot as i thought this was something very different that has not been done before. 
  • Also, it relates to the idea of Facebook a lot more than my previous idea.
  • You can see the genre of the film as well.

 
  • I got the idea of doing a computer-like magazine by researching.
  • I found this 'Total Film' magazine, of Superman Returns, which is set out like a newspaper.

    • Here is a screen grab of a Facebook page, which i am trying to replicate for my magazine front cover.


    •  This is what i am currently at in creating my magazine. Feedback please :)

    Research and Planning: Research

    • This is the trailer to a film that has recently been released in cinemas.
    • It is similar to our film, with the sense of social networking having a negative effect on someones life.
    • We have taken some ideas from this trailer, and we particularly like part at the start where we see the type writing, so we are going to try and re-create this and slightly copy it.

    Research and Planning: Quality of Images

    • Today we have been learning about how the quality of CLR cameras are better than digital cameras.
    • We have took photographs with both a CLR camera and a digital camera to see the difference.  
    • The differences are circled red.

    Research and Planning: Possible Font

    • Here are a few ideas of fonts i narrowed it down to, for my film title 'Offline'.
    • One of these could appear on my poster or magazine, and will be pictured at the end of my trailer.

    Research and Planning: Filming

    • Today we filmed our 'Facebook scene' and 'Running Scene'.
    • We filmed the Facebook scene in my house, in the computer room. We tried to set the mis-en-scene like the main character, Georgia, would actually live there and go on the computer regularly, by using a comfy chair and basic computer. 
    • We filmed the running scene at my partner, Chloe's farm where she keeps her horse (the same location as the 'torture scene') as we thought this was a scary and effective place. we waiting till it was dark so that it would seem more realistic the audience could receive the full effect.
    • Here is a plan for the running scene we created for the actress, Georgia, to look at so she understood what we wanted her to do.

      Research and Planning: Script

      * Here is the script for our 'Facebook Scene'. It is a short conversation of turn-taking between Louise, our main character, and Trevor, the kidnapper.


      * To make the characters in the trailer (Louise and Trevor) seem more real, we had to make them their own Facebook accounts; therefore we had to make them Hotmail accounts to get their own email address to sign into Facebook.
