Set Backs!

After planning our filming scheduled one of our group members fell ill and was unable to attend the shootings as they had to rest in order to recover. Due to this we had to re-scheduled our filming shoots for a later date and were set back again due to poor weather conditions as we do not have the equipment to film in the rain. 

Existing Media 3

This is the 3rd template for existing soap opera magazine front covers that i have looked at. I least like this one because I don't feel that it is as eye catching as the others. This is the only existing soap opera magazine front cover that i have found with a black colored heading.

I like this soap opera magazine front over as it is bright colourful and eye catching. This front cover tells us that the magazine informs you about what is going to happen in different soaps over the next two weeks. The front cover gives you hints to what might happen in the soap operas with out actually telling you. This allows people to make their own assumptions about what they think will happen and gets people talking about the soaps which then encourages viewers to watch. 

The "BABY SHOCK" tittle implies that their is going to be a shock that the baby may be born a girl when perviously told a boy. This is due to the pink colour of the text as we all ways assume light pink colours with baby girls. 

All shots used in the images are all action shots which ads to the realism of articles and makes them feel more believing.

I like the used of the bold background colours behind the images of the characters as it makes the characters stand out with out having to put a glow around their syloettes.

When researching existing media, I found this example of an existing soap opera magazine. I like this magazine front cover because the colours used are bold and stand out. I think that this front cover is relativly old by what the characters in the photos are wearing and the hair styles they have. From this their edditing is good considering the technology the producer would of have to produce this peice of exisint media.
I like this use of the round images and the bold colours used. i aldo like the use of the round images and the boxed images showing other front covers/posters. I also like the cont used on the main tag line stating that an event in a soap is canclled.

Research and Planning for ancillary task

For our ancillary we are looking at existing magazine front covers and existing TV posters. From researching I hope to find out what the typical conventions are for Soap Opera magazines. 

FILMING

For the past two weeks we have been planning what shots we are going to be filming first and when we are going to film them. We then also scheduled with our actors when we are going to film and then began to film. We done this via email and a privet facebook group created for the actors.
