magazine week 3

I have carried on with my 4 covers of BRICK magazine. I am making them all look different but i am still keeping the same pleasurable aesthetic. The colours that i have chosen to use are magenta, mint green, baby blue and tangerine. i have chosen these colours because they compliment each other in various different ways. I would prefer to take more photos next week and have them taken outside in a more natural light rather then artificial.

 For my 4 covers i took inspiration from magazine covers such as Wonderland, I.D and DAZED. Wonderland mostly. I decided to have an interesting yet plain border so that the photograph would stand out a lot more.

 i struggled a lot with trying to make them different from each other. i very desperately wanted to include aspects of nature and urban culture. i ended up including a mixture of both in my designs with the font being bold and bright and the background being neutral toned.
For this cover i used the plastic beach font from the GORILLAZ album cover. this is my most
cartoon like cover by far. This is my favourite cover so far, I made the fonts on the cover the
same colours as the lighting in the photoshoot.
The background on this cover is a white brick wall,
this was the first issue I made so i feel like this is the most
aesthetically pleasing. Overall the magazine cover
is a true example of what is in the magazine as the
background and the title "brick" compliment each other.  
3 point lighting:

  • Key light 
  • fill light  
  • back light
I covered the back light in an orange gel to achieve the colour tint on the face i also did the same on the fill light with a pink gel so that the colours would blend in together. I left the key light white so that I had a blank base for the background.

evaluation

Overall  I was very proud of my lookbook, I feel like my skills on photoshop and InDesign have improved a lot. In terms of improvement, I could've taken a photo that incorporated all aspects of the magazine and focused more on how it would have matched the colour scheme. If I were to do this project again I would have probably painted the front cover with either acrylic or oils to draw attention, I would have wanted to show how it was unique just by looking at the cover.  The overall time it took to complete each look book page was approximately 2-4 hours due to the amount of correcting and editing I had to do. If I had to re-construct my lookbook I would have made my design less complicated. Also, I would have used more models to add more diversity to the magazine. The Text on pace two could have been slightly darker as you cannot read most of it due to the colour of the background. As far as improvement is concerned, The portrait pictures could be of better quality and c...

Many A Moon: foley, Cinematography etc.

Foley: I didn't get to record Foley for my short film as there were no harsh sounds that needed emphasising as I had a on-cam mic attached. If I had I would have emphasised the sounds of the chair and the felt tip against white board. Cinematography: I picked a space In the collage that had filtered sun light seeping through into the room which in the end created a more eery atmosphere. I ended up tinting the film a very dark blue colour. List of sounds: These are the list of sounds that I wanted to include in my film footsteps coming up to the doctors office - Getting someone to walk across wooden floorboards leaves rustling in the forest - rustle the branches wind blowing - Go record this near a river  door opening and closing - Hold the mic really close to the door hinges and open the door  pen on whiteboard - Hold the mic really close to the felt tip dragging across the board.

annotated scripts

Image
Down bellow is my annotated script. I had to make a fair few adjustments due to location changes and difficulties. I could not shoot the final scene as my location and cast were not avalible. Also I could not get hold on the correct costumes that were necessary. However my cast members did improvise the scene were the doctor is explaining the symptoms to Cedric to make it into the time bracket.
