The document describes the process of constructing a product using various design tools. The author learned how to use tools like the shape, text, magic wand, color replacement, burn, eraser, and crop tools. For the front cover, background was added and an image was edited using these tools to remove excess background and adjust colors. For the contents page, a background was made and an image was edited using the magic wand and eraser. For the double page spread, a black and white brick wall image was used as the background and another image was edited and added across both pages with flipped page numbers and semi-transparent text boxes.

3. production experiments (interactive)
Nathan created a 120x80 pixel ghost animation in Photoshop. He drew and colored the ghost, then used keyframes and tweening to animate it moving. Nathan improved the background by adding shading and depth to trees using pencils and gradients. For the final animation, he experimented with keyframes and tweening to make the ghost fade in and out, looking more realistic. In his reflection, Nathan said he would include the tree detailing skills and keyframe/tweening animation techniques in his final Ghost Game product.

3. production experiments(video game)
Reed Cunningham experimented with creating pixel art elements for a ghost game, including a knight, trees, and ghosts. They used tools like the pen tool and paint brush to manually create the pixel art. For the final game, Reed plans to include the knight character and keep the nighttime setting to add scariness. The experiment was conducted to develop art assets for a brief about creating a ghost game.

Production schedule
The production schedule outlines three filming locations - a sports hall, classroom, and house. Filming is scheduled for October 8th, 12th, and 14th with a review and potential reshoots on the 18th. The main prop is a possessed doll that will be used as the plot device in the horror film. The main characters of Katie and Daniel will be portrayed by Katie and Max, with extras filling minor roles as bullies or background students.
Horror film posters analysis
This document analyzes several horror film posters and discusses their design elements and how they effectively promote fear and intrigue in viewers. It notes that posters often mention previous successful films to boost credibility. It also discusses how limited color palettes, ominous imagery, short attention-grabbing slogans, and characters' indirect poses can create unease in audiences and make them want to learn more. Font choices, simple shapes, and subtle details are emphasized as important techniques to convey eeriness while grabbing attention.
Smiley
An officer is introduced as the protagonist who will fight against the antagonist in the story. The title only reveals part of the narrative and is accompanied by ominous music and sounds to build tension, as the officer will likely die since he is not the main character who will face off against the evil force.
The conjuring
The document analyzes techniques used in the trailer for the horror film The Conjuring. It discusses how the credits are used to build tension. The isolated location is shown to create an ominous atmosphere. Sounds and music are employed for sudden scares and to enhance the creepy feeling. Common horror lines like "Who is that?" further the sense of mystery for both the audience and characters. The spirit antagonist is finally revealed at the end, causing a jolt. References to other successful films help generate recognition.
3 filmtrailers
The document discusses cinematography, sound, editing, and mis-en-scene techniques used in two horror movie trailers. For the first trailer, a handheld camera is used to give a personal feel, a single voice emphasizes a character's presence, and the main props are important to the film's point. Blank shots with no sound build suspense. For the second trailer, long shots and dim lighting create tension, blank shots with potential sounds scare the audience, red tinting gives an ominous feeling, and a normal-seeming barn setting implies danger could be anywhere.

I have learned how to use various tools in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign to construct a book product. These tools include the shape, text, magic wand, color replacement, burn, crop, eraser, and magic eraser tools. Using these tools, I edited images by removing backgrounds, adjusting colors, and cropping. I then placed the edited images onto book covers and pages along with adding text and shapes. The process has taught me how to design and assemble the pieces of a book in InDesign.

- 1. Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I have pretty much learnt how to use all the tools I have used in this project. The only ones I knew from the start was the shape and text.
- 2. Making the Front Cover First the background was made on the canvas. The chosen image now needs to be edited for the front cover. The excess background has been rid of and now to edit it even further magic wand tool. I have now used the colour replacement tool to get rid of any green glow from the models glasses or from the leather jacket. The burn tool had to be used in order to made the models jacket a darker colour since the colour replacement tool rendered it a light black colour. The image then had to be cropped before putting it on the background. The image now on the front cover ready for the rest of the conventions. This is the final front cover. Apart from the tools shown earlier all the rest were images, text and shapes.
- 3. Making the Contents Page First I made the background for my contents page Then I have to edit my image I am going to use First I used the magic eraser tool this time to get all the big parts of the excess background I then used the eraser to erase the tiny bits left over The final image was then put on the background Now that that was done, I added the rest of the contents page
- 4. Making the Double Page Spread Firstly, I start off with a picture of a brick wall as the background and use the colour replacement tool to make it black and white and add a line down the middle to represent the double page. Bringing up the last image going to be used for the double page spread and editing out the background either using the magic eraser or magic wand and I also need to make it black and white to match the background. Once on the double page spread, fairly easy to fill in the rest of the text and shapes. The only other thing different about the page is that the shape page numbers are on have been flipped so they are opposite each other and the text is on a slightly transparent box to be more readable.
