Looking at both Andrew and Emily's Blogs i've been able to see two new ways of posting on my blog.

From looking at the two blogs i have seen what level i should be working at and have seen that the language i'm using is not technical enough.

I love the way his language engages the reader.
Looking at Andrew's blog i see that he has blogged every detail in a post, but he has also joined two or three examples of the same topic in one post.

^This post of Andrews film review page ideas i feel will be of use to me, when i come to my film review designing. These posts were often short and sharp to show the process that he's going through. I think in some of the posts he could of gone into a bit more detail for instance of the linked post i believe he could of gone into why he used those screenshots, what was relevant about them.

^Emily Jean Prescott
This post i believe will help me in my research despite it being about music and mine short film i believe it will help me as she talks about her band and their message and i think i can use that to get the style i need for my short film. The detail of the post i believe is something i can take on board and make my posts more detailed for the reader/s.

Poster for Magella Dawson... Research!

As my short film is not a typical short film and is a spoof/cooking show i think making the poster will have very different codes and conventions than the poster of mainstream and independant posters.

Looking at other spoof/parody film posters i have seen that there is a big difference in the look of the posters.

I have had a look at a few spoof poster such as

The naked gun

The 41 year old Virgin

Hot Shots

Airplane

Ancillary task research

My two Ancillary tasks are
• a poster for the film
• a film magazine review page featuring the film

I plan on drawing out my designs for the poster as i currently have not got the desired photo available.

For the Review page i will do a draft in publisher which i believe will be a good piece of software to use for the task.

Progression

From my animatic i have seen that i need to work on my sound usuage. I did infact place some music in the background in some areas of the animatic but for an unknown reason this did not properly upload. Which i will Try my best to get working by re-uploading it and posting it.

I can also see where i may need to use some fades and some other shot transitions so it's not as jumpy when watched back.

To conquer these issues i have with my own piece i shall and have started to re-edit the animatic and include some transitions to make the audience viewing more smooth.
