Ancilliary Task Two Final Piece

Ancilliary Task Two Production - Film Poster

I began with the initial background image of the central protagonist, and added cloudy shadow at the bottom.

I then muted the tones and made it a greyish colour, to add a ghostly them. I also used the blending tool to form a figure on the right hand side.

Next i added the star ratings and the central title of 'Dead'.

The next step involved naming newspapers that have rated my film, and the tagline. I also made it clear it was a short film, highlighting a specialised target audience.

I then incorporated the names of the producers and directors, as well as cast members.

Ancilliary Task One Final Piece

Ancilliary Task One Production- Magazine Article

Initially, I placed the background image of the trees against the darkening sky as the main focus. By accident, I then clicked the magic eraser tool, shown below, which created the gappy contrasting white section effect. I realised it would be an ideal platform in which to place my article text without taking the effectiveness away from the image.

Next I brightened the blue of the image to a sinister unnatural level, highlighting the rigid black structures of the ominous trees, and giving an unusual yet interesting effect to the white sections.

Because the filter placed over the entire image was blue, the incorporation of the still shot images gave the a blue hue also. However, I felt it was effective and cohesive with the cold tone, so left it.

I then placed the title and the subheading into the article.

I continued to add sections of text in place of the white section.

Finally, I placed, "In cinemas soon!" at the bottom left to attract potential audience members. I am thoroughly happy with the unusual result of my article.

Soundtrack Development

Dead Soundtrack 2 by ag4939

We felt that the soundtrack to the film would have to be extremely sinister and unusual, in order to go along with the horror genre of the film, with its mysterious elements.
