Ancillary Task - Applying a filter

I have used a filter for both of my images for my Ancillary task pictures, these filters were from photoshop and they worked well with my photo because the filter turns the picture black and white suits my magazine, for the poster I have used a slightly different filter which makes the background strounger in black and white, turning up the contrast aswell so that the white goes well with the black and it stands out.

Ancillary Task - Photo's for my auxiliary task

I have taken a variety of pictures with my actor for my poster/magazine, I have chosen two main ones that I will be using for my auxiliary task

Ancillary Task - Style model

I have chosen Total film as a style model for my auxiliary task because throughout my research on different magazine publishers I have found a magazine that would suit my film trailer, and the theme behind it.

Using GarageBand to answer question 4 briefly and other all the other possible ways to answer the questions.

Last week I have used GarageBand in a group to create a podcast that answered question 4. how did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? I did this to learn about GarageBand so that when I come to answer my questions later I will have the skills the create a podcast. Some of the things that I have done on GarageBand, is putting an image in at the correct moment and when it is exported as a audio file. will have have the so that it relates to the things that I say as the podcast goes on so the audience can have a visual  as well as an audio.




In this podcast there were things that could be improved for example my voice was not loud enough, and because I have done this podcast next time I will know that next time I will need to speak louder and maybe smoother so that my voice can be heard clearly. Looking at the exported version where the pictures show up as we are speaking is really helpful so I will definitely be using this in my podcast to give visual aid and additional information.

Other groups did Powerpoint, Slideshare and Prezi and out of those 3 I think that Powerpoint is good for a lot of information with visuals however Prezi stands out more than Powerpoint as it can have music playing while the presentation is going and the way that is is laid out it is easy to read and the animation is not too flashy but will keep your attention to it, because of this I plan to answer one of my questions in the Future with Prezi.

Film trailer - Dialogue

For my trailer I will not have dialogue as I think that the sound that will be recorded on the camera will not be good so I am going to have a narration for parts of my trailer as I do not intended just to have no dialogue

Film trailer - Environment shots

Environment shots

For my environment shots I have mostly used trees and things hanging onto them, I think these are suitable for my trailer so far and combined with the sound effect that I can add to make them visually look better, Although for some of those shots I can reshoot so that the tree is moving.

Film trailer - Setting

Setting

The setting of my film trailer is dark and are mostly recorded when it is dark but some shots are in the day as I think that my trailer will need some shots with light in it because having day and night shows continuity.

Film trailer - Props

Props

For my props I am deciding to get a prop knife as I think that this weapon would suit a murderer and also I might get fake blood to put onto the knife and use it to make like someones bleeding, some other props that I have considered to use are masks.
