Last week I started to write my article, developed my layout ideas for my double page spread and carried out my photo-shoot.
Photo-shoot- My photo-shoot went well, I managed to get all the pictures that I needed and all of my models turned up. I was a little pushed for time with painting the faces because some of my models were late, therefore I showed one of them how to do it so that everyones faces got painted quicker. This meant that everyone was done on time for the photo-shoot, but that the faces were a little mis-matched because we both had different techniques, this doesn't matter though because each face is individual anyway.
During my photo-shoot I learned how to position lights to get light/shadowed effects, I also learned the best angles for taking pictures to portray the feeling that you want to portray.
(Head-shots of the pained faces, with the 'flood' engulfing the land.)
I made sure that I did all of my ideas, so that if I changed my mind about which photos I wanted to use, or where they're going to go, I wouldn't have to do another photo-shoot. Therefore I would save time on having to book out and prepare for another shoot, I would already have the photos available to me.
Targets:
This week I need to complete:
- My article
- My layouts for my front cover
- Start putting everything together
- Make final decisions on fonts and enigmas/sell-lines etc...
- Make sure that all Pre-Production work is complete and in my file
How I will achieve this:
- I need to refer to my research and make sure that I take a suitable angle for my article
- Lay out my front cover and double page spread on Photoshop and InDesign
- Insert photos and begin to add text etc...
Specific Technical Skills:
- Photoshop skills
- InDesign skills
- English/communication skills
Contingencies:
On Tuesday of last week, during the lesson all of the power cut out, my memory stick was still in the computer and I had been working on documents off my memory stick. Luckily I had been saving my work as I went along, and I didn't lose anything.
Problems that I might encounter:
- Might not be able to do something on Photoshop/InDesign, therefore I will have to find a tutorial that does what I am trying to do and follow it.
- My article might not be interesting/suitable for the target audience, so as I am writing it I will get people from the target audience to read the drafts and give me feedback.
- I could suffer some technical difficulties, so I must make sure that I save various copies of my work in different places, so that I always have back-up files of my work.
