1. FMP Reflections
Day 1 – Tuesday 14th
April
What have you beenworking on?
Ithas been my first day of production, so I planned out the order I am going to do
everything. I started with my contents page, I got my red background and my
transparentspider-man images and put them all into my contents page
photoshop document. I added the pages and their description then added extra
details including stroketo the text, colours etc. Then I made sure all my previous
work was finished.
Upload screenshots andexamples of the work here, where applicable
How do you feel about how this work has gone?
This work has gonewell, as it was my firstday of production, I wanted to make
sureI take time with my work and complete it all in time, I am happy with the
work I havecompleted today.
What were the main successesinthe work?
The main success is that I have completed most of my contents page so I can
move onto the written part of the magazine tomorrow and make a double page
spread.
What were the elements that were less successful or youhad difficulty with?
I had difficulty loading up my work becauseit was the firstlesson of the half term
so that Mac’s were quite slow.

2. What else couldyou have done to expandthe work, improve the work, etc?
To add in more detail to my contents page and changethe spacing of the words,
which I will do
ActionPlan - what is the next stepfor the project?
Complete a double page spread about my firstfilm I am writing about, Fast and
Furious 9
Day 2 – Wednesday 14th
April
What have you beenworking on?
Today I have done work on my firstdouble page spread about Fastand Furious 9,
I added in two posters for the film on the right side, and another big image of the
main characters on the left side. I tried doing my film title like the Fast and
Furious logo, so I downloaded the Incised901 Nd BTfont fromgoogle and made
the fontgrey and added a black strokearound it for extra depth as a title to stand
out more on the page. I also did information on the film below it, including the
release date, trailers, etc. On the right side of the double page spread, I did a
headline ‘The best action film of 2020?’ as a rhetorical question to make the
audience interested and think to themselves if it could be the best action film of
the year. I made this headline blue with a darker blue strokearound it to stand
out as a headline. Under the headline I have writing about the cast, including
severalactors' names who are in the film. Below it I did a blue circle so I could
match the colour scheme of this double page, which was black, white, grey and
blue as each page usually has a total of 4 colours for the colour scheme. Insideof
this circle I did a fun fact box where I included a fact that people may not know
about the director for this film ‘Justin Lin’ is also the director of an older film in
the Fastand Furious series, thereforeit could explain why an old character has
returned. I also started coming up with ideas for my frontcover as I am getting
the photos for it tomorrow becauseI’mnotat college on Thursdays. I planned the
layout and the fonts for the title of my film.

What have you beenworking on?

4. Today has been the startof my second week of production so I havebeen
working on my frontcover, as I got my photos at the weekend beforefor my front
cover and back cover, I am working on those this week. I did my masthead ‘TOP
FILMS’ in green with a darker green stroke, and added effects to the bevel and
emboss to make it stand out more as it is a masthead, then I used the Vtks Escape
font to write ‘all new action film’ then the film title ‘Escape’ and ‘directed by Toby
Jackson’ underneath, I madethis font brown as it works with it being on the
bottom and on the ground of the background, thereforeit fits with the dirt on the
ground. I also made edits to the bottom of the background imageto makeit
darker, to make the character above eviler and more mysterious. I also added
more fonts and details to the frontcover, including a sticker with the
advertisement ‘freeposter inside’ and more writing, about the films inside (Fast
and Furious 9, Godzilla vs Kong and Spider-Man 3). I added an image of a barcode
too, as they’re common on front covers and an orangebox at the top, which
shows screenshots of thefilms inside to make people interested, this is usually on
film magazine frontcovers. I also used the polygon lasso tool to bring forward the
characters head, and the baseball bat to show the dominance of the evil
mysterious main character.

Today I have been working on my back cover, I used one of my photos I took and
added in the green masthead and made effects and a stroketo it, then I added
the film title and made the characters head stick out over it, then I added in the
orangecircle and advertised a free poster inside, and then added in the writing on
the back, which wherequotes about the film to get people interested, the quotes
were fromthe director (me) and an actor in my film. I did the effect of using the
‘camera raw filter’ effect under the filter bar, this means I can change how the
background imagelooks, and on the front cover I made the black colour brighter
to make the characters clothes brighter so they’re more visible, and I change the
colours of blue, to make the sky grey and cloudier to emphasizethe character
being evil, dark and mysterious. On the back cover I changed the red colour
contrast, to make the character seem like he is in danger with blood as the red is
more visible. I also made the edges darker to show the danger and the green
more saturated to stand out more.
