Poster presentation.
This document discusses posters created for a short film. A teaser poster featuring an iconic image from the film was made to generate interest without revealing the plot. The same ambiguous image was used for the character poster to link the two visually. An unedited screenshot was considered for a theatrical poster but two posters were the limit. Capturing stills from the film proved difficult due to movement within shots.
Q7
The document discusses lessons learned from the preliminary task to the final product of a magazine. Specifically, it addresses improvements made in the use of images, color scheme, fonts, and layout. For images, stretching was avoided and a banner was added to fill white space. The color scheme was made more cohesive using a pink and grey palette. Custom fonts replaced basic ones to make the magazine more professional. Finally, the layout was adjusted to make the masthead more prominent than the contents and use a less rigid design.
Draft layouts for poster
The document outlines the process of drafting a movie poster over multiple iterations. It describes changes made to the layout, images, and text in each draft to improve the creepy and unsettling vibe for a horror film genre. The final draft features a dark image, text styled like horror movie magazine advertisements, and a billing block designed to look more professional based on real movie posters. The document shows an effort to refine the design elements and test different options to create an effective poster that suits the horror genre.
6. fmp production reflection 2
The document provides a reflection on the production process for various graphic design projects, including a magazine double page spread, album covers, and a magazine cover. For each project, the reflection discusses design choices such as fonts, layout, images, and technical steps taken in Photoshop. Across the projects, common goals were to make the designs look professional by carefully aligning elements and to represent relevant artists and themes visually through techniques like cartoon drawings. Feedback was received on one cartoon that confirmed it clearly depicted the intended artist.
Evaluation
The filmmaker had several issues during filming their advert. They had trouble finding actors for the scheduled shoots and issues with camera quality and location access that slowed filming. Acting quality from non-professional actors was also a problem. During editing, the filmmaker improved the advert by adding fitting music to tell the story without dialogue. However, the short time frame made fully achieving the jock vs nerd concept difficult. Overall, better preparation for filming and hiring professional actors could improve future projects.
Making my movie poster
The document discusses the process of creating movie posters using PhotoPlus X5 and SerifDraw X5 software. Key steps included inserting background images and eyes as layers, editing the eyes to make them stand out, experimenting with text placement and effects, and adjusting silhouette images. The creator tried different designs, such as adding dripping blood text and movie stills, before settling on a poster with blood dripping down and credits at the bottom to promote the fictional movie for Halloween.
Contents Rejected Images
The document discusses reasons for rejecting several images, including that the background in one image was too dark, the artist/model seemed unprepared in another, and a third image lacked a clear foreground or midground focus.
Indie Front Cover Image Ideas
Here is a slide show that I made that includes images that I could use as a starting point and as inspiration to make my own front cover picture.

It discusses feedback on the proposed titles ("The Deeds" and "Don't Go Upstairs"), the overall concept, plot, structure, twist, ending, characters, setting, costumes/props, and lighting. Based on the feedback, the filmmaker plans to make changes like adding character interviews, extending scenes, and altering the lighting and editing to improve various elements of the film.
Poster Work In Progress
The document discusses the development of a film poster for a coursework project. It describes choosing an iconic image from the teaser trailer of a swing to feature on the poster. The photo was edited to crop out green and increase contrast and darkness. Text was added including the film title, tagline, and actor's name. Feedback led to adjustments in subsequent drafts, such as moving the tagline to improve readability and centering the actor's name. An icon for the film company was also added to make the poster more authentic.
Edited photgraphy
This document discusses editing three photographs for potential use in marketing a horror film. For the first photo, the editor cropped and changed the temperature to give a cool, blue tone that conveys a sense of something being cold and heartless. For the second photo, the editor added soft focus and darkened the contrast and saturation to make the image appear dull and signify that the film is not associated with happiness or joy. Scratches were also overlaid to indicate the horror genre. The third photo was cropped and had highlights and shadows adjusted to focus on the victim's face which captures fear, drawing the reader in and making them interested in the film.
Making my ancillary texts
The document describes the process taken to design the cover of a mock film magazine for a class project. It details selecting a murder mystery font in red, painting it to match the genre. Images and elements were added, such as additional photos, the magazine masthead, film title, and articles in black and white to reference film noirs. Based on feedback, color was added to article titles to make them stand out more.
Five cover photos
The document discusses 5 potential photos for a magazine cover. For the first photo, the depth of field and clear view of the outdoors are positives, but it is too cluttered and the model is too far away to be the sole focus. The second photo has a unique feel from the contrast of the model's clothing and dark background, but the model is out of focus. The third photo seems peaceful but the model lacks strong eye contact and the photo is blurry. The fourth photo has good lighting and eye contact but the model's hand in his pocket makes it look unprofessional. The selected photo has direct eye contact, good lighting without shadows, and the model was closer allowing for more color and brightness.
Evaluation question 4
The document discusses the use of various media technologies in the production of a short film. It describes using Final Cut Pro for video editing, including adding special effects like speech bubbles. Photoshop was used to create the film poster, with skills like masking and trimming learned from tutorials. Prezi was used for research and planning presentations.

3) Similarities between the created trailer and professional ones are highlighted, such as catchy music, voiceover, and transitions.
Prelim evaluation
Originally, the filmmaker planned to create a hostage situation set in a car, but later changed the script to be about a businesswoman holding her sister hostage. While filming, the filmmaker focused on incorporating shots like shot reverse shot and match on action shots. The biggest challenge was following the 180 degree rule, which caused some confusion at the end. Overall, the filmmaker was pleased with the filming and editing skills improved since their last media project, but would spend more time ensuring the 180 degree rule was followed properly for clarity if redoing the project.
Evaluation Question 6

6. fmp production reflection
Luke Ross reflects on the process of creating a company logo for inclusion in a movie trailer. He used various tools in Photoshop, including the pencil tool, shape tool, and blending options. He started with a hand-drawn concept and scanned it in. He added color, an outer glow effect, and an inner glow to make the logo stand out against a blue sky background. The logo features the text "Abysmal Productions" with a man holding a torch in the center. Ross feels the logo achieves the goal of standing out in the trailer but could still use improvements.

Here is a draft evaluation for your ghost story podcast project:
Evaluation:
Overall, I am pleased with how this podcast project turned out. The story of James Reid and his connection to Steve Roughley provided an interesting and unique ghost story for York. In researching and telling this tale, my goal was to create an immersive listening experience that would appeal to those interested in horror and the paranormal.
In terms of the script, I feel it effectively conveyed the key details of the story in an engaging way. Adding background sounds like bagpipes, wind, and church bells helped set the scene and mood. However, upon listening back, some parts could benefit from more description to further draw the listener in. Going forward, I

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Production Reflection
- 2. Process So to start off my front cover I decided to take one of the posters used for Goodfellas. I decided to do this because I want to use this as the staple for my magazine cover. I will change and add elements but I want to use this as it is the main subject of my magazine.
- 3. Process So here I have added the title for my magazine, the font I have used here I got from 1001 fonts. I have chosen this font because I think it suits the style of the films font on the poster. I have put a red colored font behind it because I feel the front cover needs some pop of colour but it doesn't take away from the fact that the film is dramatic and dark. A lot of blood is spilt in the film and this colour shows it.
- 4. Process This is my finished front cover, I have added some text about what the magazine includes and what the focal point of my magazine is. I haven't added a lot to the front cover on purpose because all the posters I have researched all are very plain and simple. I think this is done to carry the dramatic affect and tone of the film. Therefore I wanted to keep this effect on my magazine cover.
- 5. Process To start off my double page spread I have decided to use a gradient of red and black. I have done this because when looking at all the colours used in Goodfellas merchandise are red and black. I think this done to express the mood and drama of the film. The red is used to show the amount of blood that is shown in the film, there is a lot of murder and the black I think is used to show what the characters are surrounded in, their paranoia sinks in and we see the characters go from confident to paranoid messes.
- 6. Process So for this part of my magazine double page I have decided to not use the polaroid frames for the pictures that I was originally going to use. I decided not to use the frames because I think the pictures placed on each other look a lot better than they would have with the frames. All the pictures I have chosen to use in my double page I have picked out carefully, I have picked out pictures that show the range of emotions that the film goes through. I have also picked out pictures that don't give any plot points of the film away to the audience so it still keeps the audience interested.
- 7. Process This is the right hand side of my double page this side includes my review of the film Goodfellas. Now I have decided to place my review here without any extras around it because I don't want to take the readers attention away from the review. They have seen the pictures that I have chosen for the film, now I want the readers attention on the review for the film.
