Ancillary tasks completed SS.

Both of our Ancillary tasks are now completed.
The newspaper advert:

This was done to imitate the style of Channel 4's adverts. To do this, we had to look at the overall style of each advert produce by the company, and see what the recurring themes were. We noticed that in all of the examples we saw, there was colour theme, along with the text being in blocks of colour, too. We tried to get the font as close to the Generic one that Channel 4 uses, too, to make our advert look as genuine as possible.







The DPS for a listings magazine:

This is our Double Page spread for a listings magazine. We tried to make it look as authentic as possible by imitating the layout of a popular TV magazine, along with the numbered images, and the Channel 4 logo too. The typical listings article has the larger font for the first letter of the text, so we decided to follow suit and imitate the text style, and layout of the typical listings magazine. We also added the yellow box with the genre, title, time and date. We felt that outlining this box with blue completes the page.

Update on the process of the ancillary tasks SS.

Currently, the ancillary tasks are in the final stages of completion. We have finished the newspaper advert, and are well on the way to completing the double page spread for a listings magazine, too. All that needs to be done is another column of text, and to clean up the image arrangement.

In terms of the editing the documentary footage, we need to synchronize the speech to the footage and place the voice over in the appropriate timings.

Timing alteration. SS

 Amy has decided to cut out a few more seconds to make the total time of the documentary now 5 minutes and 1 second.

Update on the editing process. SS

Right now, Amy is working on taking stills out of the film to use in one of our ancillary tasks. We currently have one Ancillary task (The newspaper advert) fully completed, and the Double Page Spread for the listings magazine is half-way complete.
The progress on the editing of the documentary is about halfway completed, too. All we need to do is move the interview, splitting it up in the film, and cut a few more seconds out to make it 5minutes long. Along with this, Amy is planning to enhance the film by adding more special effects such as wipes, and or fades.

Font reserch. SS AL

We chose a number of different fonts to pick for our ancillary task. These are in the image below:

Out of these 6 different fonts, we chose the last one, "BlairMdITC TT" to use in our Double Page Spread and our newspaper advert. This is similar to the font used in "Country Life" Magazine. This is applicable to us because this is the kind of magazine our documentary would be advertised in, seeing as though it is a film about a shooting day - which is often covered in these types of magazines
