Alrighty then, lots of to be done, lots to be evaluated. So many tasks to do, so little time... but we'll manage to do it. Everything is sort of at a slow pace at the moment. Its time to update you of whats going on and how our project is coming along.
The production of the trailer is at a stand still at the moment. Most of it has been edited and done thanks to Matt before we even started this term, however sound and further editing must be established. We noticed all together that the recorded volume and voices of the actually actors was not loud enough, so we suggested this. We split the sound from the actual footage itself, insert specially created music over the footage, re-boot the actual voice sounds (with higher volume and intensity) and place that on the very top of the footage, like an all media sandwich. This will make the voices stand out, along with some intense and thrilling music to cover the mood and genre of the trailer. we want this trailer to be perfect, but in the order to this, we need to sort out our groups connection with the files and footage. Matt will need to send a copy of the footage to this Media accounts email inbox, and we need to sort this sound problem out using the program 'Garageband' which i mentioned before on this blog.
Now the magazine is coming along very smoothly. Sam is working very hard to find and create the best photo to use for the front page using various tools and conventions in Photoshop. Since the software upgraded last year, Photoshop CS6 offers far more than its previous ancestors. This includes brushed, photo manipulation tools, and even better use of the Pen tool which i'm glad to hear about. In previous blog updates, we mentioned that we'll be using the title 'Take'. To me, the first draft of the magazine was \'fairly' good, but i wanted something that'll jump out at the audience. I wanted a far larger and bolder font, for example 'Arial Black' or 'Impact'. We all agreed that Sam will try more and more and he'll see what he do but for now, we can only say that the magazine will be really great! He said he was going to include references to other media texts on there also, for example Saw or Paranormal. Theres nothing wrong with a little intertextuality here and then eh?
The Poster is more or less, going on less smoothly than the magazine because finding the right photo (that follows a high quality format) is just plain annoying. BUT, were not giving up! Two weeks ago, Matt took a few new photos o the 'slender' mask in the dark, along with light variations and darkness to create a eery and mighty effect towards the mask. He updated a photo on a previous blog entry if you remember, and hopefully today, i'm going to play around with this photo and try to make a good a movie poster. Matt is not here today which is a shame, so he cant supply us with the images, so the one on this blog will have to do. Good news is, is that i've completed the specially made 'Title' of INFERUS, which is ready for the poster, so hopefully now it just needs a good photo, layout and content text.
Truthfully, we're running behind work schedule, and we're worried that we wont finish all of these tasks in time ready for the evaluation. This is the very last lesson before half term, and were running out of time! Tick tock tick tock, and no, thats no 'Hugo' reference there. We have all agreed to continue this over the half term . What we do want to do is finally finish this trailer, so we have contacted Matt about sending the footage to us, so we can sort out this damn sound problem. But for right now, its time to experiment with poster conventions, and see how this image turns out. Blog entry out.
