Ancillary tasks - Movie Poster

Here is our Movie poster, once again we do not show her face, as she is not representing one individual, but a whole demographic (young girls who are vulnerable to crime via web 2.0) and is therefore a symbol rather that one single individual. The shading is dark and grey; this shade best represents realism as everyday surroundings are often this kind of gritty shade (concrete and tarmac in urban suburbia etc.) which brings the audience back to reality and makes them associate our product with the real world. We want this realism as we are reflecting reality within our narrative, portraying the cyber manipulations of modern society, which extends the threat of criminals.

I created this poster on Microsoft Word 2010; the same programme I used for the other ancillary task. This was a difficult process but after getting 'movie' style fonts off 'dafont.com' it elevated the quality of the product (in my opinion). Here is a screenshot of the task on Microsoft Word, I made sure there was a blank document on the right, as this was where I inserted all of the text box's and relevant features (if I put them straight into the left document it would have disrupted the layout - as I discovered on many an occasion)

I decided to add the eye (from clip art) as it represents the idea of 'being watched' and general crime. Perhaps it is a symbol of our male psychopath character.

With regards to the reviews, I researched the reviews given on movies with a similar genre and came up with the 'quotes'. Also, I had to download the stars off dafont.com.

Ancillary task - Magazine front cover

Here is our Magazine front cover, Me and Hebe used the photo from her Instagram. This photo was originally used in her photography (AS Level) but fit perfectly into our media project, as it represents the isolation and gritty realism we want to portray. I used Microsoft Word 2010 to produce this cover, which was extremely difficult as it is not designed for these purposes (e.g. moving text would change the layout of the whole cover, clearly as Microsoft Word 2010 is not designed for designing purposes) . However, eventually I was able to create this cover, and am fairly satisfied with the results. I feel I avoided the mistakes made in the ancillary task I evaluated previously (on this blog).

I used these effects to alter the photographs shade
