You will need to demonstrate the following workflow for Ancillary Task 1;
- Ancillary Task 1 brief (introduction).
- Ancillary Task 1 R&P : Reviews & deconstructions of existing products.
- Software training (QuarkXpress 10 - Magazine Film Review Page Tutorial)
- Product construction
- Draft product.
- Feedback.
- Evaluation of feedback & improvements.
- Final Print Product 1
You must exhibit your completed film review page on 17th March. This will be your only opportunity to receive the feedback evidence you require to access level 4. Don't forget to take screenshots at the various stages of construction to demonstrate progress.
You must use QuarkXpress to construct your magazine page. Please do not use Photoshop, even if you consider yourself an expert. We will use Photoshop to construct the film posters and you must demonstrate the use of a variety of software.
Remember that all images in your final product must be original and choosing a frame from your film is not always the best choice. If you need to photograph new images or actor poses, the digital SLR cameras are available for booking. It is perfectly acceptable to edit images in Photoshop and then import them into QuarkXpress for use in your film review.
When constructing a film review page, don't forget to consider:
- A house style (colours and fonts).
- Consideration of fine spacing.
- Runaround spacings.
- Appropriate use of pull quotes.
- Page furniture (blocks of graphics, use of lines to separate elements, etc).
- The inclusion of page number (folio) and web address.
- The need to eliminate blank areas.
- The inclusion of a film rating system.
YOUR MAGAZINE PAGE MUST INCLUDE A GENUINE REVIEW OF YOUR SHORT FILM. DO NOT FILL WITH LOREM IPSUM OR REVIEW SOMEONE ELSE'S FILM. YOU WILL BE ASSESSED ON YOUR ABILITY TO USE AN APPROPRIATE REGISTER FOR YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE, SO WHAT YOU WRITE IS VERY IMPORTANT. I SUGGEST YOU USE LOREM IPSUM DURING THE EARLY PART OF CONSTRUCTION AND REPLACE IT WITH REAL CONTENT AT THE END WHEN YOUR LAYOUT IS ESTABLISHED.
