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.

Production:Final Main Focus Picture- Double Page Spread

This picture was taken on a Nikon EOS DSLR camera with no filter, Manual mode and a shallow depth of field. When capturing this picture I had to adjust the shutter and aperture to ensure the exposure and depth of field was correct. I wanted the audience to become connected with the main focus of the picture, which is the Farmer character. Connecting the audience with the mise en scene of the Farmer and the conventions that fit with the idea of Farming Documentary, allowing the audience to see the link with the sheep and farmer, perhaps stereotypically showing the relationship between farmer and sheep. I feel this picture will fit perfectly with my main focus picture in my double page spread as it links to the conventions of farming and gives more information to the audience about the location; being rural, instantly connecting to farming and the mise es scene; the sheep and the stereotypical farmer clothes following the traditional traits of a Farmer.

Production: Chosen Stills for Double page spread

Due to being an A-level Photography student I was able to capture picture at our location to use for ancillary products. This allows the audience to connect with the genre and theme of Farming. This allows my ancillary products to hit a high standard linking to my intentions of matching my target audience of young adults and appealing to them. The stills below are some examples of my favorite stills to use for my double page spread and advert. I feel they are effective towards the audience as their conventional to the theme of Farming Documentary. Looking at a range of different pictures helps me select my final main focus for my double page spread.

Looking at a range of different double page spreads helps me to understand the types of layout I can include and help me with the initial production side of the product. I want the audience to feel connected with the film and understand the genre of Farming documentary, linking to the connections of the storyline and helps to encourage the audience to watch the film. The double pages I looked at link to the idea of clear and structured layouts to clear show the main focus to the audience. Telling them about the location and the perspective genre of the film, giving them more information before watching the short. Most double page spreads have a section for text and then a main focus picture to allow the audience to have the informal information but also the versil image on the page. understanding the main focus of the short and the genre. Some are more complex than others, showing the audience more focus images and main information which I find hard to view as the audience want an instant quick viewing where they can establish the genre and short easier. I want to make my double page spread easy for the audience to view and understand the main focus and information before watching the short, creating interest and encourages them to view the short. I feel the colour is a huge impact on creating interest with the audience as it needs to be bright to catch the audience eye but also match the conventions of a Farming style documentary.
