3. Existing Product – Frontkjemperne
The video I’ve used as part of my research is a promotional video
for a reenacting group. The cinematography works in a similar way
to a short documentary.
Context – The group want to look cool to recruit more people to join
them. They want the hobby to sound fun and they want to prove
that they’re not just a small, obscure group of reenactors.

This video is a short, five minute tutorial on how to bunny hop on a
bike. It’s filmed (presumably) in a public park and features a few
props such as a bike and a fence. There are scenic shots of flowers
and cycling. A ground level shot is used to show small logs laying on
the ground as a transition between scenes. There’s music, sounds of
the bike and wind and a person talking to the camera.

13. Mood Board
The style I’m going for in my mood board is a
very militaristic one, filled with textures of
uniforms, pictures of soldiers from the modern
day, w2 and ww1. I wanted to include trenches
and art from the war itself as I know that we
will be digging trenches in the field. The two
colours I’ve featured are there to represent
gunmetal and mud. I will be using a Cyrillic
themed font, like Eurocentric. This is because
Russia is the dominant force of the 20th century.

15. Wind and Subtitles

In the video, it explains how to remove wind noises caught on microphone by using the highpass filter. I will
potentially use this if there is any wind caught on my recordings. He explains how to use the highpass filter, by moving
the cutoff number, the audio quality can increase and decrease depending on the hertz it’s on.

In this video, it’s explained how to add subtitles and captions onto a video in Premier Pro. I will be using this method as I find
captions helpful if you can’t understand what’s being said. The narrator explains that you have to add the captions as a now
object. You can choose open and closed captions. Open captions are captions that are permanently on the video, however
closed captions are ones that can be turned off if the platform supports it.

Editor's Notes
Look at different types of content, design elements, the subject and context.
Type of content- studio/location photography, articles, reviews, adverts, sketches, drawings and other artwork
Design – colour schemes, photography and images, text/picture ratio, font choices
Subject and context – What subject(s) is the fanzine covering? What is the writing style? What is the mode of address? In what context was the fanzine produced? Context is the environment in which something was produced. Think about the time this was made.

Think about a subject you could write about, a design style could work in and why you would want to do it.
Think about content. What different visual and written elements would you include?
Initial ideas can be documented in any way that you would like. Mind maps are ok, but they don’t work for everyone. If you prefer to simply write your idea, do that. If you want to combine text and images, do that. As long as you communicate a potential idea, the method is up to you. Present you idea and also some justification for your choices. You can link this back to your research.
