Case Studies

The magazines that I have based my look book on are:
  • I.D.
  • Wonderland
  • Dazed and Confused 

All of them kind of have the same style and layout. The front covers are all very graphic, I love how the actual portrait on the front cover would genuinely be quite simplistic and low in colour but they all reflect the interviews, reviews and style that is in the magazine.

 Wonderland: 
Normally the cover is full of graphics, subtitles, Images and even the barcode at times. For me I think that there is way too much going on each cover but it reflects the inside of the magazine.
  

I.D:
on every single cover of i.d, the muse is winking. Its so obvious that no one ever notices it. The muse is normally in the centre of the cover looking straight at the camera. 
Dazed and confused:
You alway see the muses full body on the cover of this magazine and they focus more on the clothing then anything. This is essential for a lookbook.

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.
