Research & Planning: Film Trailer

This is our trailer so far, we're waiting for audience feedback in order to gain some more ideas on what sound to include over the middle section.  We have a few ideas of using wine glasses and feedback from guitar amps which we can produce relatively easily and record in college.

Research & Planning: Sound Experiments

During our lesson, we decided to play around with a few of the sound effects available to us and add them to our trailer to add themes and stings to certain areas that need heightening.

Research & Planning: Change to Colour Scheme

I decided to adjust my white and red so they weren't as severe on the page, this makes everything work together well and makes my magazine cover flow more.
     This will work well with my poster also as my captions are in this type of grey, linking the two together.  It is also linked to my trailer as I highlighted my type with this shade of grey in order to make it pop off the screen.

Research & Planning: Social Networking Feedback

I asked a few people on which slogan they preferred, three people replied with the term "It's not just a game".  

Research & Planning: Editing My Magazine Photograph

Here is my photograph that I have already started editing.  I have added a duplication of the photograph over the top of the original, desaturated it of its colour and then used the 'Multiply' effect to make my original image much darker to give it a scarier feel.  I then used a mixture of the polygonal lasso tool and the eraser to delete the background on the duplicated layer to add depth to the image which contrasts well as it's quite bright.

 Due to the lack of make up for my photographs, I decided to photoshop some realistic cuts and bruises onto my photograph so that it links more to my film poster and trailer.  I took this image of a scab and used to 'Darken' effect and the eraser tool to blend it onto my photograph.

 I also added a black eye to my model with the brush tool set on a very low opacity because I didn't want it to look too severe as gore doesn't usually get included on professional magazine covers.

Here is my photograph at the moment with my masthead for my magazine cover.
