My magaZINE

Ive finished my magazine and its al my evaluation

Pitching

I created a pitch in prezi becuase it is more modern and less tedious than powerpoint which was fast moving and information with and rotation with pictures that were in the mass.

Simons illustrator lesson

We created many titles that were colourful and extravigant and this helped us devolop are creativity in text creating graphic design.
We had never used illustrator and we found out it only produces vector graphic imaging which is a pixeline that is straight in stead of bumpy and squares.

Modifing title for magazine

 This is my magazine title before and then simon commented that i change it so the 'the' is the same size as the 'P' to make it look more clever and that ive pondered over the ideas.

But this one looked a bit untidy so i have decided to keep the first version.

Anylising the brief

We have now been given the brief, for ASH Publishing, asking for a cover, contents page and two page content spread for a new student newspaper, the name and design style of which we can come up with ourselves.

I have to create a front page and a double page spread along with a contents page.

Simon investigated layout and typograpghy

In simon's lesson we spent time look at fonts and point of views of titles and what suits what were going to create. This is very important for product placemant, the titles can go in many places and be made in different colours and styles.

DVD for adverts

I created a dvd that had a menu shjowing me and Josh Quintas's video versions. Burning on my own dvd blank using encore. and i put it in my group folder.

This a 12 minute process of dranscoding and writing,  I used a 4.7GB, 16x DVD-R, which would meet the requiremtns for our more "amateurish" menus.

Editing

Now with both our sets of footage, I have edited most of my final advert.

Using Premiere Pro, you can import images, rushes and audio and cut, compile and add effects to them. This makes it a superb professional piece of software with extensive options for all of the mentioned. After quickly picking up the fair simple user interface, it became important to know your way around the workspace. 


I learnt how to use the cutting markers to my advange which helps me a great deal.

Position and rotation keyframes have helped to to create the pack shot where the writing moves with the can. This also has a swish sound efffect with the movement.

 

Filming

In the end because all cameras were lent out so I had to use my HD camera and tripod instead to film 2 parts of the advert myself; the tapping of a pencil and a desk chair going down  and I converted these files into a QuickTime format that would be compatible with the system and gave them to the group.

Then it got later in the deadline and their were still no cameras for borrowing so are whole group and me filmed on my camera and tripod and then I converted the files and gave them over.

Josh on his camera filmed a hose spraying and gave the file to the group. 


We started filming with my camera in the lecture theater and Katherine should do the tapping of the pencil for the opening shot. Then we moved to the fountain where i suggested josh what to act using my tripod as a support for the camera.

Conversion

With filming complete (post coming soon) before editing could begin, Using AVS Video Converter we needed to change the orginal MPEG and quicktime files from the camera. But i converted them all to a QuickTime H.264 Format from my memory stick. as for the footage on my camera i put on my memory stick along with the other footage.

The files are now on a portable hardrive ready to be distributed to the other group members. I have now moved onto Premiere I haved started editing. (using the skills shown in the skills profile)

Pre production

I struggled with Pre-production due to the rate of slowness and continuity of work i can  achieve. josh has been organizing the group well. But pre production work has now been completed and is up to scratch and ready for us to go ask for camera's by compiling our information and explaining to the lecturer about our intentions.
