Film Preliminary - Back to The Future Deconstruction: Shot, Reaction, Shot

By studying this sequence of shots from 'Back To The Future', I learnt how the size/height of a character effects the dynamic on the screen and also adds a comedic aspect. In this scene Biff appears to gain height and this makes Marty look even smaller, Martys eyes just appear over Biff's shoulder, this is a comedic affect that I feel I could use within one of my projects. The lighting throughout gives the scene a naturalistic effect which is perfect for this scene, but I would like to experiment with the lighting to make it more interesting. I also feel I could of added a comedic sound effect when Biff increases in height rather than it just being silent, to enhance this part of the scene.

Film Preliminary - The Wizard Of Oz - Deconstruction: Match-On-Action

In this Deconstruction I understood the importance of colour within a scene and how significant it can be, as the last shot when Dorothy opens the door to reveal 'Oz' is so beautiful and contrasting within this scene that it sticks in the audiences head and is the most poignant shot within the film. Also I am beginning to understand the importance of continuity within a scene and how this needs to be kept the same in order for the scene to look believable, smooth, flowing and professional.

Final AS Preliminary Print Task - School Magazine Front Cover

 
This is my final version of my AS Preliminary Print Task. I added another box with featured information which includes white writing on a blue background which makes the text stand out and enhance the magazine.

Different Image Experiment for the School Magazine

 
I experimented with another picture, but I felt this image was too busy as this image has another person in the background, which takes the focus away from the primary model.

Second Experiment of the School Magazine Front Cover

 
I was closer to my goal with this version. My slogan was bolder and stood out really clearly against the background, but my introduction article was too long and needed to be punchy and catch the readers eye, which in this version doesn't happen.

First Experiment of the School Magazine Front Cover

 
This was my first design for my School Magazine Front Page. I needed to add a main article to the page so that the image was enhanced and understood. I also needed a factor that caught the audiences eye and made them want to read inside so therefore I needed another small article featuring titles of the articles inside the magazine.
 
I aslo was not happy with the slogan format at the bottom of the page, it needed to be bolder, and stand out from the page.
