Jungle Book Interview

The task that we were assigned with was to produce a 2-3 minute interview with the marketing manager and producer of the new Jungle Book. The producer talks about the exciting combination of actors and effects whilst the marketing manager can discuss all the ways they intend to promote the film. We used Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit and adjust the interview to mix the orignal ootage of the characters with the poster that replaces the green screen. We used the tool 'Ultra Key' to replace the green screen with the posters that we decided to use. Our biggest obstacle was costume clashing with George's clothing where the green screen would mix with his white t-shirt. We decided to re-film because of this factor and an additional factor that Sam wasn't available for the first shoot. We completed our task on Monday, 3 days after it was set. This will help our Jungle Book revision as it covers all ways that the film was produced and marketed. We could've checked lighting as in the footage and final cut, there is a bright white light in the top left corner which the green screen doesn't get rid of. "we really liked the inserts. Kieran needs to be interested and Sam needs to be interested in Kieran" WWW - the inserts and editing style of the film. George was very intrigued.

Shirky/Gerbner Identify a strength or strengths in your assessment: My online media/technology was my best answer when comparing to the other questions.  Getting 9 marks out of 10, I was able to identify various advantages and disadvantages of online media and how it has affected the audience. What are the areas you need to improve? I need to revise and go over representation of ethnicity and the other areas of DR CAGES so I have more to write about when answering the question. I also need to revise the theorists and need to understand how to answer theorists question with examples. What will you do to improve in your next assessment? Any particular areas or study skills?

Daily Mail Front Page - Evaluation

   My Newspaper                                                                Inspiration

We were asked to make a Daily Mail newspaper front cover using various headlines told by Mr Bowers, where he stated many different stories that we could include into our front cover including Ladybirds with STD's and Salmonella poisoning. In the video, there was also a story about child obesity and how it effects their IQ and health, which was told by a Professor and also a witness. We were told that whilst also having these shocking articles within our covers, we had to add many Christmas touches to make it more festive.

In decided to make my newspaper front cover in Publisher because it is easy to move objects around and also to adapt various parts of the document.

I used many different tools within my newspaper. One of these was the site: https://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/fontbureau/fonts/whitman-display/condensed-extra-black. This was the font I used for the Headline as it is most similar to the actual font the Daily Mail use. 

The biggest obstacle I had to face was making all of my text and headline fit the page where there was no excess space and all text was in proportion to one another. This took me a while to overcome as there was always a problem with something, but after a while, all text went to proportion and it looks professional.

I chose my fonts because I wanted my newspaper to look as realistic as possible. I also used the format of the celebrity gossip on the right where the photo can correlate to the shocking article on the left.

My initial feedback was to fix my headline to make it all the same proportion. Others told me that the photo I used for my celebrity gossip could be cropped down and expanded in order to see the photo well enough.

I think that my Christmas market advertisement went well because it shows that the Christmas market is going to be huge and successful. It also give's the 'festive feeling' to all readers due to the pictures and text. Next time, i would add more about the effects of child obesity as it didn't expand on the topic enough.
