Reflection of experiments
- 1. REFLECTION OF EXPERIMENTS MAKING A MAGAZINE, DOING PIXAL ART AND ANIMATION, MUSIC PRODUCTION AND USING FOLEYTO MAKE SOIND EFFECTS
- 2. THE MAGAZINES THE FIRST ONE I MADEWITH NO FEEDBACK. SECOND ONE,AFTER RECEIVING FEEDBACK. AN OFFCIALVOGUE MAGAZINE
- 3. MAGAZINEONE I made 2 different magazines, the first one I made it with no review or feedback and I made another oneAFTER getting feedback. With the first magazine I made, I used a tutorial to make the scrapbook/collage effect (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrYjE2p0tU8&t=291s). In my opinion, looking at it, it seems nice but for a magazine it isn’t suitable, as a magazine usually has a main focus on someone or something not really various ones. My first magazine I made I decided to have a pink colour scheme to it, very similar to the colour pallet below. Which I also think is somewhat a poor choice, as I exam the magazine and compare it to normal fashion magazines it’s not really fitting. It’s good in the sense I that I had a colour scheme and there wasn’t different colours everywhere on the magazine but I think pink is too vibrant in comparison to fashion magazines.Also on the magazine I added 2 well known celebrities Nicki Minaj and Lil Naz X which is fine but the problem was that they were small and they could’ve been the main focus but they weren’t is another fault in the magazine.
- 4. MAGAZINETWO With the second magazine is more like a magazine cover, as it is more simplistic and has a main focus to it that will captivate the audience.This magazine I did not use a tutorial for it as I made it from hearing feedback. As I was recommended to use a site to get and exact masthead of big fashion magazines such asVogue. Definitely for this magazine there is a darker concept which is more fitting for a magazine cover. This was the colour pallet for this magazine, as I think this is an improvement from my magazine cover.What I like about this magazine cover is that it’s more simplistic and it just looks good like that.
- 5. CONCLUSION I think overall the second one is better than the first one, although I think my first attempt of making a magazine looks terrible after doing the second, but without the first attempt I wouldn’t had to come to the conclusion that less is better and which I am going to keep that in mind when I make my actual magazine.Also this has helped discover site where I can use the exact font that famous action films have used which I think is extremely useful for me. I think with magazine I will do it first when I’m making my own magazine as it was one of easiest projects to do.
- 7. MAKINGTHE SONG I used beep box to make my sound, and ta first I did not know how to to use and I had to figure it out and eventually I did then I made sound. And honestly it is not great but I tried after that trail with beep box I have figured and I think this helped me have the idea where I can make my own sounds but I think I am just going to use non copyrighted music. And this is fault on my part but I did not take any photos while I was using beep box but I do have the track I made here below so you can listen to what I made.
- 8. FILM POSTER
- 9. RESULT
- 10. MAKING THE POSTER Making the poster is much easier in the sense that is similar to making the magazine so overall I found it better. And again I tried to use the website Dafont to get a similar font to a spider man font used in their movie poster.And I font one and used it but it seem right in my opinion.And down below shows the font because I didn’t take any photos of actually using in photoshop. Instead of this font I decided to chose a font in photoshop, and it look really nice and I also decided to use the eyedrop tool to get the exact/similar colour to the gold in the photoshoot. I also used the blur tool to blur out the background so the spiderman is the main focus.Which I plan to use when I make my own movie poster as I want a main focus to be on the model. CHANGES I MADE AFTER COMPARING MY POSTER TO AN ACTUAL SPIDERMAN POSTER I at first wrote on the poster “THE SPIDER MAN, COMING OUT SOON”, very simplistic too simplistic in my opinion then comparing to an actual poster I changed to the writing to “COMING SOON” at the top of the poster then added “THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN MOVIE IN 3D”which I think is much better improvement. Overall I think with this poster it has helped realise that I want to have more simplistic movie poster with a main focus.
- 11. PIXEL ART On photoshop and pixelart
- 13. THE PROCESS I was actually surprised at how sort easy animating is, with animating of pixel art I had done a couple times before I just didn’t take any pictures of others animation I made so the end product was better than the rest but in the order I have done my work I think I would do this in the last as for me personally it is quite simple but it takes some time to do it. I plan to do the work that tends to be quicker first so I have time to do my animation last. I think the only thing I need improve on with animation is drawing, I’m not good at drawing or anything but I think I can try definitely make my characters and backgrounds of my animation more cartoon like.Another problem with the pencil tool on photoshop when I would click on a colour I wanted it would come up with a coulour I had previously chosen and I struggled because I wasn’t getting the colour I wanted but then I later discovered and when click the mouse it changes the colour to ones you have previously chosen and you have keep clicking till you find the colour you want.
- 14. FOLEY VIDEO Making sound effects
- 15. VIDEO WITHAND WITHOUT SOUND EFFECTS WITHOUT SOUND EFFECTS WITH SOUND EFFECTS I MADE With making the sound effects here I found not that hard as I did them at home in my house and at the park near my house, yes there were I had to do the sound effects over again but overall doing this has me realise I can make my own sound when it comes to my game. And I think with making sound effects I would do this 2nd to last when doing it for my project. But looking my end products I think it ok its not amazing but I think some the sound effects were fairly accurate for example tripping the path I think that really good and also opening the fridge.
