Final Advert Print-

 

 

From the overall improvements made I feel the critical acclaim stands out and matches the conventions of a farming documentary giving the main picture more of an attraction, drawing audiences in and giving them more information about the film. The conventional green colours help the audience to connect with the overall farming and earthly atmosphere and showing the farming location. The ident of channel 4d makes the advert more realistic for the audience and connects to the conventions of a documentary with the ident being well known for creating documentary shorts for audiences, instantly allowing the audience to establish the genre just from the small information. The typography added allows the audience to understand a clear date of when the film is released and where helping them to understand where to view and when, encouraging them to watch it. The draft one was to brief and didn't give enough information to the audiences to make it easy to establish how to watch the film, making them less excited to watch the film. 

 



Editing: Changing Critcal Acclaim- Advert

From my feedback of changing the critical acclaim to stop the look of unedited and just added. Allowing the audience to connect with the genre of farming life looking at the location and main focus picture that draws the audience in further to the beauty and hard work of farming life.

In order to remove the dark unconventional background on the critical acclaim I had to go on photoshop and use the Magic wand tool to remove the background. Zooming in to the detail helped to ensure I got all the background off to gain a clear finish and look professional for the audience. I had to zoom out a few times to ensure the background was clear and neat for the audience.

Editing: Final draft 1- Advert (Feedback)

picture-------------


I love the layout of this advert as its clear for the audience to understand and imagine a message and understand the importance of the advert to sell the film to the audiences. The text I copied from the actual film where I enlarged and put in the corner to allow the audience to connect with the main focus picture and the title of "Farmlife" making the audience focus on the picture but still clearly see the title. The critical acclaim has been added at the top to allow the audience to connect with the success and high quality of the film, encouraging them to watch the film.


Feedback-
From my overall feedback I gained, I need to make changes such as ensure the background of the critical acclaim blends in with the backdrop of the main focus picture and doesn't show any black background as it looks over edited and just added on. I don't want the audience to become drawn to the critical acclaim more than the main focus picture, allowing the audience to understand the location and character connecting to the genre and traits of farming life. The colours matches the genre and characteristics of a farming documentary, linking to the earthy and pure like presents, drawing the audience in and creating more interest to watch the short. The ident in the corner in small yet clear and helps the audience to understand who disputed the film, connecting to the type of films channel 4 produce, specializing on documentaries.

Editing: Ancillary product- advert: Critical Acclaim

 I wanted to match the conventions of an advert for a film by adding crital acclaim. Not only does this encourage the audiences to view the film but it shows the success in the film, showing the high standard and quality, drawing the audiences in.

I found this picture on Google images, The information about the film isn't important but the critical acclaim at the top really appealed to me as the layout draws viewers in and links to the idea of showing the important information to the audiences clearly. I cropped the acclaim down to hide the rest of the poster and to only show the important acclaim to the audiences. I want to include this in my advert as I felt it would draw the audiences in and encourage them to watch the film.

Editing: Choosen Still for Acelleriy Product- advert

I decided to choose this still because I felt it connected with the conventions of a farming documentary from the location and the mise es scene of the stereotypical features audience can relate to found on a farm. The colours draw the audience in with the depth of field being deep from a small aperture the dark detailed colours encourage the audience to watch the short as it gives more information about the location and surroundings.

Final Double Page Spread/ 1st Draft Comparsion (Feedback)

Before- (Draft 1)

 

 

After- (Final Product)

By listening to the last feedback of my draft I have produced a final ancillary product to clearly advertise and attract audiences to watch my Short. I enlarged the title to standout to viewers and clearly address the audience, encouraging them to watch the short. By deleting the text of 'coming to a cinema near you' helps the audience to become more understanding of where to view the short and see where its distributed. The critical acclaim helps the audience to see the success of the short encouraging them to watch it. Having it in the bottom corner doesn't draw the audience attention from the titles and the main picture, creating interest and connecting to the genre of Farming documentary. The background blends in and doesn't have black around, making it look over edited and unprofessional. By adding text on the right allows the audience to gain more information about the short and gets them more involved with the narrative. Giving them not only a visual look from the picture but information to backup the main focus, making them understand facts and stats on Farming life, giving them more of an insight.

Feedback on Final Product- 
From my overall feedback audiences are much happier with my results and understand where to view the short. The layout is clear and connects with showing the genre of farming to the audience not only through the colours of natural earthy themes such as greens and blues but through the style of font connecting the viewers to the message of farming.

Editing: Double Page Spread- Changing critcal acclaim- Award Winning

I found this critically acclaimed picture on Google images to edit in Photoshop to match the conventions of a farming documentary I wanted to ensure its in the same colour as my newspaper. I saved the picture to my settings and opened it up in Photoshop.

By using the Magic wand tool in photoshop I was able to edit the white background so I just kept the outline of the main focus. Changing the colour to white match the conventions of my newspaper and allows audiences to see the traits from the colours, linking with pure and natural.

I moved the critical acclaim to the bottom right hand corner as I felt it was losing the main focus of the double page spread, the background has been removed as it looks less edited and more professional to the audience. The move allows the audience to see more of the double page spread and understand the location more, linking to the genre and idea of farming traits.

Editing: Double Page Spread- Final draft 1 (Feedback)

 

This is my final draft of my newspaper, I love the colour and the clear focused picture, showing the audience the location and connecting with the main character. Also linking to the connections of genre and farming documentary from the green colours and the country style font shown.

 Feedback-

Katie- The text of 'coming to a cinema near you' implies that the advertisement is for a trailer, giving the audience a wrong message and confusing them on thinking its a trailer. Due to the fact the advertisement is for a Short Film the text shown state a date when the short will be shown on the chosen distributor channel, Channel 4. I love the colours as they show a realistic trait of farm life and connect with the genre of Documentary. 

 

Jade- The text is confusing and makes the audience think the advertisement is for a Trailer not a Short, however I love the critical acclaim as it shows the audience the popularity and allows the audience to see awards that the Short have won, creating interest and encourage audiences to view the film . Maybe change the background to clear to hind the black drop as it creates an unrealistic add and shown its clearly been edited, doesn't blend in to the conventional colours.

 

Megan- I love the main focus picture as I feel it draws the audience into the film and encourages them to watch it. The main picture allows the audience to become connected and understand the mise en scent of the character perhaps connecting to the storyline and narrative of the short. Have you thought about changing the text at the bottom as it doesn't connect with an idea of advertising an short. 

 

Overall action next-

From the clear feedback given I will acted upon changing the text to match the conventions of advertising a short and allow the audience to instantly connect with the advertisement, by changing the text to a channel 4 distributor instead of viewing at the cinema but also giving a date and time to view the Short, making it clear for the audience. I will change the background on the critical acclaim to blend into the background and not look over edited for the audience, making them see the realistic side of the advertisement and professionalism. I will keep the main picture and colour the same as its conventional and allows the audience to connect with the location and main character, encouraging them to watch the Short.    

Editing: Double Page Spread- adding Ident

Channel 4 Ident-

Channel 4/4D is known for creating shorts and documentaries for the audiences. I felt it matched the conventions of our short and was a realistic company to choose to dispute our short, instantly allowing the audience to see that the product is a short and a documentary just from the ident. I found the Ident from Google images Channel 4,  I selected this style ident from the other choices because I felt it matched the conventions of a Farming documentary with pure and natural colours, blending well with my background colours, standing out yet not drawing the attention from the main focus of the double page which is the main picture. 

 

After previously researching into Channel 4 ident. I decided to put the ident on my double page spread as it allows the audience to see the distributor of the Short and helps them to connect with the type of films they have produced linking to documentaries and specializing in Shorts. I found this Ident on the Channel 4 website where I then copied it into my double page spread to show the audience who distributed the short.

Editing: Double Page Spread- Adding Text and Picture

 I added the chosen picture to the double page spread ensure the settings were on bleed and double page to match the conventions of a double page spread. I decided to add texts boxes, conventional for a Farming documentary, matching the colours audiences can relate with. I created the text box with transparency effect to make the picture flow with the text box more and to connect with the page, making it blend in more. The text boxes are ready for when I add text (titles) to link with the audience and make it more interesting to view.
