what I have learnt

Overall throughout the course of these assignments I have learnt a great deal and enabled me to develop my Photoshop skills and adapt these to suit the b movie genre for the target market audience. Including the curve tool and the brightness and contrast tool to enable me to adapt and add elements within my lobby card design as a whole. I also learnt how to develop my drawing skills including using different textures and materials to enable me to develop and incorporate this with my design as a whole for the target market audience. This also enabled me to develop the techniques such as scale shape and size to enable me to make the scale consistent throughout this piece of artwork for the target market audience.

Furthermore I learnt how to use the color overlay tool to enable me to develop the main body of my illustration and to adapt this in to the base of the lobby card counting the washed out color schema as a whole replicating the b movie style for the target market audience. I transformed all of this in to my own work to enable this to be in an effective form of graphical manner for the target market audience.

Final design

This is the final design for my lobby card. I adapted on my previous designs and developed this even further to finalize this for the target market audience. i used the dafont software to enable me to do the typographic font within this design to make this effective for the target market audience and convey the genre of the movie in an effective manner. I used a washed out colorization to enable me to convey the b movie genre in a mixutre of old and new graphical elements. i think the photographic imagery and well as the graphical elements used within this convey our movie a great deal of amount for the target market audience. i added a graphical image to the main base of this design to make this more effective for the target market audience. i used the rubber tool on the Photoshop software to fade out some of this to make it look effective and convey a sense of sifi. I think by doing this will enable this to stand out a great deal of amount from a distance to enable this to forfill the purpose and convey our movie. i used photographic imagery from clips of our movie through out to add elements from our movie for the target market audience. I used the grid format after looking back at my previous research and combined this in to my final design. There and many good elements within this design as a whole but many things that can be improved to make this more effective for the target market audience.

Good elements within this design as a whole:

Overall I like the whole complex of the design. Such as the lettering used within this is simple style of lettering but in an effective manner standing out a great amount for the target market audience. The color within this is really effective and suits the whole color scheme of this piece. The robot used as the base of the design blends in nicely with the background as a whole making this effective for the base of the lobby card. The colors within this also blend in a great amount for the target market audience. The combination of the graphical imagery and the realistic imagery makes this look professional and effective from a great distance to help convey the movie for the target market audience.

Elements that could be improved:

Although there are a great amount of good elements within this design as a whole there are many elements that could be improved to convey the film further. Such as there could be a greater use of blending modes to make the images within this to flow through in a complex and effective manner. Also the typographic imagery could be in a more complex form to add a great amount of graphical elements suitable for the target market audience.

i then added a light bheam to this by choosing the lighten option and used the curve tool to enable me to edit the colours within this as a whole to suit the main body of the lobby card itself. i think this design compared to by previous design is a great deal more effective for the target market audience. the title stands out a great deal of ammount compared to the design with the big centre imagery derawing this away from the main title itself.

Developing our movie

This week we started to develop our movie as a whole. We used the green screen within this to convey a differ seen within this instead of using just the school. I think this will make this look very effective when incorporating this with the movie within the 10 minuets we have. We also started to film the remaining scenes within the science lab (the dark room) and I helped film using the camera the seen as a whole. Overall I think doing this worked really well and adds tension within this movie for the target market audience. we used a variety of formed within these scenes of camera angles such as: a worms eye view, close-ups of the tension throughout and long shots to convey action throughout the movie. We then edited the scenes in a fluent manner on I movie to make this suitable for the target market audience, and add a great range of B movie effects to incorporate this in to the genre of the B movie style and also sifi. I think by having the robot we previously made within the film enhances the unique and originality feel within this. This will enable us to use old-fashioned effects to help transform the model robot we made in to the real life form thus reflecting on the B-movie genre of our film. Having filmed the scenes has enabled me to gain skills of how to use the camera in a variety of different ways to help add to the intense and dramatic feel within the movie. I also took apart in acting in the science lab to take part in the film.

Developing the typography by hand

I then experimented with typographic imagery and formatted this containing symbolism and graphical elements to relate this to the genre of our b movie. After I formed this I scanned this in to the computer and started to form this in such a manner to help blend this in a style related to my lobby card design. Overall I think this form of typography formed as a whole is quiet effective suitable for the sifi genre for the target market audience. The colourisation used within this typographic imagery is very effective also the power of the red within this represents visually power through the use of this colourisation it conveys this very effective for the target market audience. If I was to redesign this as a whole I would combine a range of graphical elements and materials within this design as a whole such as: paint, charcoal, chalk and pen. This could convey a range of skills throughout the design as a whole and also make this suitable for the target market audience.

i then put this in to the photoshop software and manipulated this format into the colour format from the back and white. i used the curves tool to enable me to colourise this and make this effective for the main base of the design and effective for the target market audience. the blue glow around this typographic imagery makes this stand out a great amount for the target market audience.  i also used te hue and saturation tool to ad tone within this graphical imagery to enable this blend in nicely with the main base of the lobby card previously designed on the photoshop software, i think i could of used more of a filter within this to make this more appealing as well as graphical imagery and symbolic imagery to help convey this in a effective manner. although i diddnt use this for the main base of the lobby card doing this step by hand enabled me to develop these skills for the future when designing typographic imagery suitable for the target market audience.

Although i didn’t use this on the final design of my lobby card it gave me an idea what typographic font i could use on the min body of the lobby card and use many elements within the photoshop software to make this appealing for the target market audience. I could also use many effects within this software to convey the genre of our b movie and make this effective for the target market audience. i  will use the blend mode options as well as adjust the lighting as a whole to blend in with the main body of the lobby card as a whole. i think overall althought this is very effective for the target market audience, and conveys the genre of our b movie very well with the use of a range of effects to enable to forfill this.

Voice Thread

 

To develop our ideas and to see how our movie trailer can be improved even further, we looked at all of the short clips our class made. By doing this will enable us to develop these ideas made by others and improve our movie a great amount to for fill the purpose of this B movie. We used the voice thread software to enable us to do this a comment on a verity of forms of styles. Overall I think that our movie went quiet well overall. Many tips were given to improve this and develop this even further such as: the use of sound effects to give this a good touch to add more tension through out this for the target market audience. Also the use of the editing could also be in a better form of style to give a fast pace for the movie in a quick format of manner for the target market audience. At the beginning of the movie people found out that this resembled the B movie style in a quiet effective manner. The pace of this is quiet in a slow manner displaying the title of the movie. Containing not a great amount of graphical elements relating to this point in time when original b movies were made. Also I think at the point when the robot transforms within the movie from small to life size was very effective although a great amount more of effects could me used to make this more appealing for the target market audience.

Developing my design

I first started to form the base design of my lobby card militating photographic graphical imagery off the internet suitable for the theme and the target market audience. This will enable me to make this into a retro effect for the B movie genre and style for the target market audience. I then went on the dafont software and chose a form of typographic imagery suitable for the sifi genre of the movie which will also blend in and work well with the graphical elements in the base background of this design. overall i think i could of chosen a better font form for this because after feed back people throught this font was hard to read from the distance if i was to dio this again i would pick a differnt for of typographic imagery suitable for the target market audience.

I then edited elements of this typographic imagery on the Photoshop software to make this my own style of effect. I used elements within this such as the blend tool, hue and saturation, opacity tool to enable this to blend in with the design effectively, and many more to enable this to stand out a great amount for the target market audience. After looking at my previous research I chose elements within these and adapted these elements within my own design. There are many good elements about this design but many things can be improved to make this more effective as a whole.

Good elements about this design:

Overall so far I think this design works really well for the whole theme and relates well for the target audience in a graphical form of illustration. The colourisation used within this blend in a great deal of amount conveyi9ng a sense of mystery and a hidden message within this design. When developing this as a whole went really well and the Photoshop software enabled me to add effective elements to help generate this. After looking at my previous research I used elements within existing designs to help develop this even further. I think the overall design is quiet complicated containing many different elements. if i was to redesign this even further I would make this simpler with less use of objects within this graphical use of imagery.

Elements that could be improved within this design:

Overall there are many things within this design that could be improved for the target market audience such as: The design as a whole doesn’t generate the style of the b movie genre of style. After looking at my previous research many elements of the imagery use within these designs have a washed out retro effect for the target audience. The graphical imagery used within my design contains a bold graphical element which doesn’t convey the main purpose of this as a whole. Furthermore there could be a lot less detail within this design to make this simple but effective form of manner. The typographic design could also be in a simple 3d format to make this stand out a great deal from the background. I could also use a variety of materials to help me design this format to convey a variety of skills within this. Such as through the use of painting techniques as well as ink or charcoal.

Overall I think that this design is very effective for the target market and can be very effective for the purpose of this design. It conveys very well the message through the use of the very graphical imagery used for the target market audience. And conveys a sense of mystery within the design itself. to develop this even futher will scan in my tractings and imagery on to the photoshop software and use elements witnhin this to make this blend in in a very effective manner suitable for the target market audience.

i then looked back at this design and considered weather this could be done in a better format conveying the b movie genre for the target market audience. i decided to manipulate these graphical elements in to a retro form of manner conveying the sense of old and new elements combined into a final piece. i used a wooden texture overlay on this image to help add a great amount of more effects for the target market audience. to enable me to change the elements of colorisation within the image itself i used the curves elements tool to add elements of yellow and brown conveying the retro effect to the design as a whole. i also used the gradient tool within this softwe to add a sence of mystery within the design itself for the target market audience. overall there are many good elements within this design as a whole but many could be improved to convey this in a more effective manner.  the use of the washed out colour scheame within this as a whole relates to the b movie genre in a very effective manner containing graphical elements giving this a futurist feel for the desing as a whole.

I then added a photographic image to the graphical design. By using the graphical elements within this Photoshop software enable me to blend this is successfully and effectively for the target market audience.  I used the hue and saturation tool to enable me to get the contrast of this image to blend in with the main body of the lobby card itself making this look effective from a distance. I then thought up of a caption engaging and suitable for our movie itself. I used “fear will never be extinct” because it sums up in an effective manner what our movie is about and formatted in such a manner suitable for the target market audience.

I then developed t his design further in to editing the typographic imagery used for the main title body of this design as a whole. I changed the font of this to fit in with the design as a whole for the lobby card but also so its easy to read for the target market audience and came been seen from a great distance.  I then changed the colourisation of this font as a whole to make this look effective and used the outer glow to this typographic imagery to bend in with the main background of this.

i then added the names of the people in the group and who are acting using a well known font in the photoshop software to enable me to do this and make this suitable for the target market audience as well as blend in with the whole sifi effect. i used the gradient tool also within this typographic effect to make this attractive from a great distance and stand out.

After looking back at my previous research in main versions of lobby cards many graphical elements contained a washed out effect on the main imagery within this giving an old style to this. Also typical typographic imagery in the 1950 used a great range of angles and symbolism within this to convey the genre of the film in an effective manner for the target market audience. i used the banner at the bottom of the main body of the lobby card using this technique through the use of my research making this text stand out a great deal from a distance for the target audience.

I then changed the format layout of this original design as a whole. i found an image off the internet for the background although to adapt this i used a great amount of techniques within the photoshop software to enable me to do this. such as the image adjustment tool. i then used a texture and adapted the optically of this to make this translucent and effective the imagery to suit the b movie genre. i also used the  gradient tool to enable me to fade out the image slightly from the background to make this effective for the target market audience. the use of this adaptation makes this suitable for the genre of our b movie as a whole. i think although this layout as a whole very effective it washed out the main body of the robot as a whole drawing away the main character of the lobby card.

i then added a illistation to the main body of the lobby card adding a cartoon effect to this conveying a range of skills throughout out this. i think this looks quiet effective using a contrast of graphical features as well as the use of cartoon to make this effective for the target market audience. the use of the old style feature of this conveys the b movie genre and style in a quiet effective manner with a contrast of elements within this such as the typographic imagery.

There are many good elements about this final design of my lobby card. But many could be improved and developed even further to help convey this film in an effective manner for the target market audience.  I used the Photoshop to enable me to do both elements within this lobby card and add a variety of graphical effects to make this appealing for the target market audience.

Good elements about this design as a whole:

Overall I like the concept of this design as a whole. It contains a great range of graphical elements throughout using a combination of graphical sifi imagery and animation of photographic imagery within out movie. I think the title of the film itself blends in a dramatic form of manner with the imagery itself making this effective for the target market audience as a whole.  Also I think the main background body of this conveys the genre of the film in a complex manner contains a great amount of detail and graphical elements suitable for the target market audience.  After looking back at my research I used the washed out colour scheme to convey the b movie genre which I think is effective throughout the design as a whole for the target market audience.

Elements that could be improved:

Although there are many good elements within this design as a whole many elements could be improved to make this in a more effective manner for the target market audience. The choice of the main body of the imagery within this could be in a more effective form of manner suitable for the target market audience.  I could of also used my illustration that I designed within this to make this more effective for the target market audience and to help convey the film in a more effective form of manner. I could of also change the colourisation within this in to the colour format to make this stand out a great amount from a distance.  After looking back at my previous research I think I could of use a great more amount of cartoon elements within this design to suit the b movie genre for the movie itself.  I could of also use a great amount of imagery and photographic imagery to help convey a great amount of skills visually throughout this as a whole for the target market audience.

Overall I think this design is very effective and using elements within the Photoshop enabled me to complete this in a fast manner. I used techniques such as blend modes colour overall to help form this as a whole.  Compared to my previous design made as a whole I think that this is the most successful as a whole. It contains imagery from the film appealing for the target market audience and there great range of typographic, photographic and illustrated imagery. I think using this as a final design conveys more elements of the film than my previous designs making this more effective for the target market audience.

i then looked at this aand looked how this design could fit in to the rule of thirds that i looked at in my previous research: i think this overall went a great deal well fitting in a great deal amount for the target market audience.

Video

We then started to put our movie clips in to a final short movie. We then edited this in to such a form to make this effective for the target market audience. By doing this enables us to see our strengths and weaknesses of our work as a whole and see how this can be improved. Overall i think this went really well. there are graphical elements within this to make it suitable for the target market audience and in the form of a movie. Although to improve this we could do a great amount more on clips for this movie to engage the target market audience. the editing within this could be better to give this form a faster pace for the movie to make this in such a way to help convey the message through the use of photographic imagery and sound. I think by using our own props within the movie to help this movie to be unique and engage the younger generation. I think by having the old transitions within the movie helps represents the message within the film. However unlike the research i did on past movies typographical imagery could be incorporated within the movie to reflect and convey the b movie genre. Furthermore the black and white theme within the old styles of movies could also be used instead of the coloured format to help reflect this further and enhance the dark horror feel visually conveying the sci-fi genre of the film. By having  the music within the scenes enhances the intense within the scenes thus engaging the younger generation in to wanting to see whats going to come next. The use of the different shots within the scenes in the film such as long shots and close-ups adds to the dramatic intensity and mood within the film.
