Decision Day

     My initial impressions of InDesign and Premier Pro after participating in the class tutorials were there were many pros and cons of both software's. I prefer InDesign better personally because it was easier for me to use because all of the components and features were very obvious and easy to locate. By this I mean that I didn’t have to search for many different tools compared to Premier Pro. In InDesign everything was very easy access and less complicated. From our practices and watching videos in class I think I will do better in InDesign because it will be easier for me to use and being more successful by saving time on figuring it out and messing with the systems. This will help me have a better project and save me the stress of figuring out the software. 

    I have decided to do a magazine cover for my portfolio project. I have made this decision because based on past class activities I think I will do well with a magazine cover. When we worked in class and looked at all the covers, I was exposed to things I never would have thought or realized before just based upon a magazine cover. When we were looking and analyzing all of the covers, I had never thought to look or pay attention to the little things. With that activity I have learned that those small details can make all the difference and impact overall. The small details that I noticed and will incorporate into my magazine cover are text size, font, colors, and connection between the main focus and subtitles. From things as small as font size showing emotions such as aggression or happiness to the colors showing what the magazine could possibly be about or what is inside, I think I can make a really good magazine cover. 

    I decided to do the magazine cover and not the movie clip because I am really bad with computers. I do not prefer to use them and often have difficulty with computers or new programs so I think a a magazine cover will be easier for me and more fun. In the magazine cover I can put my creativity to the test and show how successful I can be in this project. It is exciting to do this project because if it turns out well, I could do more things like this in the future. The process of making a movie clip is also more challenging with the animations you have to do and I think my project would not reach its full potential if I decided on a movie clip instead of a magazine cover. On my magazine cover I am confident it will be a very good, well thought out, and nice project.

Title Sequence Clips

Image
           My initial impressions of the impact of the opening sequences of films on how they develop the interest of the audience was I had mixed feelings. Some of the opening scenes music and lettering did not match the theme or plot of the movie. For example, in Dazed and Confused there was softer introduction music and letters for a movie about drugs. I would have thought the music would have been more intense. However, this could be foreshadowing in the sense that it could be a less action packed movie. But some of the opening clips such as the one from Rise of War Dogs had more upbeat, hype and intense music and the viewers could foreshadow this is going to be an action packed, interesting and eventful movie. This is also because in the opening scene there was a group of guys that were clearly friends or knew each other, walking in slow motion with the intense music in the background.       These opening scenes also help the u...

Storyboarding

       Creating my storyboard was an interesting experience. There were ups and downs  and  many emotions  during this process of storyboarding. Something that was challenging was trying to think about how we  must  take t he pictures of the athlete's and changing our outline because the idea we had befor e  would not work with  Lanie and I’s  lives and schedule's because we would have to travel and we wanted to make something good that wouldn’t cause us an insane amount if stress.  We were going to do women ’ s  major league sports but once we found out we had to take the pictures and interview the women ourselves we realized th a t was not an optio n  in our position. T h is is because Lanie and I are  both student athletes ourselves, so we are very busy. We decided to do the sports we play at Sarasota because it is interesting and easily accessible but still a good topic. We enjoye d  thinking of the...

Post Production 1- Editing

      T he next step in the production process is editing my InDesign project. There  were  a  few things  I needed to fix , especially with my text  and some other areas that needed to be adjusted  to fit my peers and my feedback . To start, I changed my text to  the  Impact  font  to make it look  sportier  and give the readers that sort of feel as they see my pr oject. Another thing I changed was outlining all my text titles on  all  the pages and the Title page  in black  especially because in my peer review, they said  it was a little hard to see because the text was  white,  and the cover picture was a little bright.  So now the titles are still white but outlined in black.  Going along with the text, I made it  bigger because there was empty space that needed a little more filling.  I kept the red lettering for the subtitles and the title for the ...
