final contents page!!

This is my final finished product of my contents page, in my final session i added a box showing where i would place a picture of the headteacher. i chose the head teacher because he symbolises the school so having him next to the sub title "our school" shows he is heavily  involved in the school.

Important Pages.

In this session I have added a section telling the reader what pages in the magazine are the most important and i have made sure that the text catches their eye by adding in the stroke effect. This effect adds a black outline to the text making it bolder and easier to read.
I have also make the text white as it contrasts with the black making it look professional.

My first Picture! (Contents Page.)

In this session i have added my first picture for my contents page, i have chosen this picture because it is a very good demonstration of the standard of art at my school. It also stands out a lot and looks very appealing. I have used effects to make my image clearer and to add a layer around it to make it catch a readers eyes more.

Start of contents page.

In this session i have started my contents page. I have chosen to make my text stand out by using blending options such as drop shadow, inner shadow, bevel and emboss and stroke. This combination allows me to create a black glow around the text which along with a blue background makes a very clear title.

Trainspotting Homework

The start of the scene uses non diegetic sound (a voice over) this sets the mood for the start of the film and instantly connects us with the main character as we are hearing his thoughts. The sound then moves into diegetic dialog which says alot of pointless personal jokes about drug use between the characters 'But he knows a lot about Sean Connery’ this dialog is designed to make the audience laugh due to the random non related topic. The director then uses non diegetic sound as it goes back into the voice over again, letting us hear the character joke to himself as he leaves the room ‘of course i will have another one.’ Before leading into a bridge which has the sounds of train horns and a train on a track which is used as the title of the film is shown on the screen. This is used as the sound relates to the name of the film 'Trainspotting'.

As the noise of the train slowly fades out the sound bridges again to non diegetic as a piece of music begins to play. The music is classical music which is used to create humour and show a contrast between what we are seeing and what he is thinking as the music used is asynchronous sound as it does not relate to the topic of rehabilitation and creates the illusion that this is his normal everyday routine. The sound then tracks back to a non diegetic voice over listing the materials needed to quit drugs. The voice over is used to create humour and disgust as he begins his battle to quit taking heroine. The director creates these feeling through the use of pornography and the three buckets used for the three bodily fluids. There is then some more non diegetic sound placed over the music as another voice over is heard the voice over says 'my mother who is in her own domestically and socially expectable way a drug addict' tells us that he has been brought up around drugs so what he is doing now is normal for him. The scene then ends with diegetic sound as the main character meets a dealer called micky, however he brings the wrong drug he relies by saying ‘the f*** are these' this is used to create humour to finish of the scene.

Fault in the page size ?!

second edit (spot and freckles removed and cropped)

In this session i made my models face clearer by using the spot healing brush tool. this allowed me to get rid of any spots and large freckles. I also used the cropping tool to get rid of the excess space behind my models face. In my next session i will find myself a background to work with.

First Edit

In my first edit i have successfully removed the background from my picture, giving me a blank canvas to work on.
In my next session i will attempt to clear my models face from spots and crop out any unnecessary space.
