Ancillary Tasks, Similar Products- Looking at Film Reviews





















Above are three single page film reviews from Empire magazine. The layout is consistent and defined- there is a shot from the film which dominates the top half of the page. There is a 'look closer' box, which has a few trivia facts about the film. Underneath is the title, with a little by-line of description. Underneath, to the left is a fact file box, followed by the main article. Adding interest is a small extract in a large, different coloured font, from the article in the bottom left and at the end of the article is the 'verdict' and star rating. I will attempt to emmulate this lay-out style for the most part.

Below is a two page spread, which differs mainly in the picture, which is much larger in size and also not a snap from the film, but a shot from the film set. I will probably take this aspect and merge it with mine, possibly with a screenshot from the film as the main image, but with a few smaller shots from the set.

Post-Production- First Edit of 'Another Life'



This is the first edit of 'Another Life', my historical romantic tragedy. There are a few things to change- firstly I need to re-colour it, as some bits are a little rushed. I also need to smooth out audio and try and even it up a bit. Lastly, I need to try and work out why the flashback of Rose pixels... really don't want to do that again as it took me ages to edit. Will also cut the credits down a bit, because it ends exactly on 5 minutes but the credits drag it out to 6.
