The music

The music in my trailer was made by me, on garageband. This took alot of time and alot of re-drafting and re-editing was performed to get my music perfectly as i intended

Using iMovie

Using iMovie has been very beneficial to me in the process of making my film trailer as it has helped me achieve high quality standards of editing for my work. Throughout using iMovie i feel my editing skills have massively progressed as i am now very familiar with the software.

Showcase

On the 16th of april me and my focus group had a showcase night where we viewed each others media products and gave each other feedback.

Film title font

In my film trailer I used the imovie font "Gaz" but unfortunately due to no accessibility of that font anywhere but imovie I was not able to use it in my ancillary tasks like i had originally intended, therefore I had to use another font that was available in photoshop. I kept to the red colour scheme of the title in order to make them look similar to one another. 

- Trailer font "Gaz".

- Ancillary tasks font "Capitals".

Conventions of a movie magazine

• Masthead - The masthead is usually positioned at the top left corner of the page, and is usually the largest text on the page. 
• Image - The imagine on the front page should be a large, mid-shot image that would be interesting to the target audience so it catches their eye, enticing them to take notice in the magazine.
• Fonts - There are normally a range of fonts used to show variety, usually no less than 3 different. They would all be different sizes, colours, styles and capitals.
• Buzz words - Words like "free" or "exclusive" are used to entice the audience and draw them into buying the magazine.
• Anchorage text - Text which explains the story of what the main image represents.
• Banner - Used on the front page of the magazine to show the contents of the magazine

Filming a fire

Today I shot the scene with a fire that I wanted. I had planned ahead by booking this date with everyone who needed to be involved to help supervise such as the deputy head of the school, the school caretaker and before starting the fire we had a health and safety officer inspect the area and equipment to make sure it was safe to light the fire. We also booked a day that was in the school holidays therefore no children would be present in the school whilst the fire was lit.
