Notes on Q1, critical theory and Post modernism

These are the notes i created for post modernism and extra critical theory in order for it to go into question 1 clearly.

Question 1 - plan

Q1: IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

PART 1: For the first part of the question, I will include the codes and conventions I have used in my final video, final poster and film review.

• Split into three parts

1. Short film- Media product:

• Layer 1= Textual Analysis
• Layer 2= Case studies
• Layer 3=  Critical theories 
• Technology= WIX
• Have you represented characters, groups, issues?
• Have post modern elements been used?

     2.  Poster - Print product: 

• Layer 1= Textual Analysis
• Layer 2= Case studies
• Layer 3= Critical theories
• Technology= WIX
• Have you represented characters, groups, issues?
• Have post modern elements been used?

    3. Review- Print product:

• Layer 1= Textual Analysis
• Layer 2= Case studies
• Layer 3= Critical theories
• Technology= SLIDESHARE
• Have you represented characters, groups, issues?
• Have post modern elements been used?

Textual Analysis could include:

• Have you subverted form and conventions?
• Or reinforce existing form and conventions?
• Typical
• Modes of realism or fantasy
• Non typical
• role of subculture
• Colour
• Performance
• Font
• Authorage
• Layout "star" quality, margins, masthead
• Images: Taglines, splashes, caption
• Mise en scene= costume, props, lighting, setting
• Genre, role of genre
• use of language, lexis - film language
• Narrative- storyline, 
• Representation of characters
• camera
• Sound
• editing
• iconography

Case studies:

• How they helped you in your own video 
• How they helped you in your poster
• How they helped you in your review

 Critical Theories:

• Levi strauss
• Todorov
• Roland Barthes

This is the plan i created for question one of the evaluation as it gives me a clearer understanding of what i need to include 

MAGAZINE REVIEW, RE DO 2

In this design we included a page number, a date, and a website to make it look more realistic like it is an actual page from a film magazine.

final review, image in full

This is the final review, in a bigger size.

progress of review

This is the progress of the review, We have developed it further, changing the colour schemes and using better shots, layout and structure.

FINAL POSTER

This is the final poster design, where we removed the nike tick and brightened the tagline , making it more noticeable.

Final poster, progress

This is our poster in progress, we have had feedback pointing out that the nike tick is sponsoring the brand and there is no point to it, also the pull quote we should make it lighter so it stands out more, other than that it connotes our film very well and we will make the changes

Running Photos

     



 






 

These are images that we are going to use for the stills, in the print products as the ones in the film are very blurry and not clear so we took more additional images.

poster ideas

   

These are ideas, showing the use of different colours and layouts.

final print product REVIEW

This is the final print product review shown in the format of INDESIGN. I will post a clearer and bigger image of it to show what it looks like in great detail, In design helped us create the layout professionally and we developed more skills whilst using it.

Second draft of poster production

This is the beginning of our film poster, we have started editing. We have been able to add the pictures we took yesterday on top of the draft we created yesterday. we changed the levels of the eye to make it contrast more to link more to the genre. We still need to add fonts and the reflection And further editing.

First draft of poster production

we have been using photoshop to start the layout of the poster without the images as we will be doing the shoot later today
