Update

I have progressed within the production of my ancillary tasks- the dvd and magazine cover, however as i have had to re-start my main task i am behind within this area. However, i am fairly confident that i will meet my deadline at the end of the week. The remaining tasks are to either find the last pieces of footage off the cameras, and maybe take a couple more pictures for my magazine cover.

25th and 26th February Filming

25th February- in order to let my target audience properly connect with character, i have decided to include more close ups and mid-shots into my opening. In addition, i have decided to re-shoot the scene in which the characters greet each other- the framing was not central. However, i also need to make the introduction of character more 'personal' instead of always as a group.

26th February- i have decided to shoot a frame with 3 of my female characters together- as a close-up/ mid-shot. This will hopefully make my target audience feel more connected to the characters on screen. Also, i will need to edit the images so that they run alongside the non-diagetic sound.

magazine cover analysis


Although this magazine is only generaliseable to females it gives me an idea on how children are targetted through magazines.
- Bright colours, stereotypically 'female'.
- Main star/ protagonist is the focus.
- Image overlaps the masthead.
- Teasers are also colourfull and appealing to the eye...
- Competitions & quizzes

dvd cover analysis


-Style is fairly 'childlike' again hinting at target audience.
-Bright colours that hint at the personality of the protagonist.
-Picture of the protagonist.
- Title in bold font.
-Rating & TV channel.
-Season?

IDEAS- ANCILLARY TASKS

Magazine Cover:

- Characters together, with fades & layering
- 'Skool Dayz' title in graffiti style?
- Include school logo?
- Bright colours- target audience

DVD cover:

- Again, bright and colourfull
- Similar to magazine cover
- Maybe just protagonist?
