Video Narrative Story/Shot Sheets

Just above is a storyboard that me and my group drew to illustrate the structure of our potential shots for our narrative shoot. They help to understand the framing, composition and variety of shots that we are aiming to capture and cover. We focused on chronology when we drew the storyboard to give an understanding of how the story develops (conflict, disruption, resolution and equilibrium). This storyboard can also benefit us as it gives us direction for when we go and film so we can save time by focusing on these exact clips and shoot them in the best way possible.

For example, the sixth picture details a shot we are trying to shoot. It shows the necklace that has been discarded and we will use depth of field to focus on the necklace as the star walks away in the background. This is our plan as it will show how much of a burden the necklace was and how it dominated the stars feelings and the stars life. It has lost it’s power over the star.

2ND DRAFT DPS

This is my second draft for my double page spread. I used the feedback given for my first draft and made changes to make it more conventional and appealing.

WHAT’S NEW:

  • New article font
  • Added a small list to fill space
  • Moved standfirst and flipped it
  • Made ‘Dark October’ all orange
  • Changed page numbers
  • Added a quote onto the star image
  • Put whole article on the right side of the DPS.
  • Added photography credits
  • Put the conclusion in it’s own box

 

WHAT’S NEXT:

  • Enlarge the main photo
  • Italics for the quote
  • Look at copy line spacing in the standfirst – justify to right and left?
  • Centre the quotes?
  • The gap in the middle?
  • Add some depth to the box at the bottom
  • Are all the numbers the same opacity
  • Inset photo feels too wide?
  • Make some of the hits names slightly bigger

This is my second draft for the contents page of my jazz magazine ‘Lounge’. I used the feedback from my first draft and made some alterations to improve the quality.

  • Changed the colour of the background from white to pink
  • Added a shadow to the star image
  • Made the ‘contents’ title bigger
  • Changed the interviewee from ‘Joey Jazz Jr’ to ‘Dark October

 

WHAT’S NEXT:

  • Look at line spacing as no coherancy
  • More coverlines
  • Caption the inset…who is he? make slightly smaller? – add a filter?
  • Caption the main image?
  • Numbers bigger?
  • Dont mask his sax as that is important
  • Another yellow sub heading to make it 3
  • Bold 100 to make it stand out and a different font?
  • Contents page needs a number?
  • Editors note?

A front cover analysed

We were given a selection of magazine covers to analyse and I chose the Billboard magazine cover. I chose this one because I thought it was the one that appealed to me as a reader and I am part of the target demographic for a magazine such as Billboard.

The skills that I learned in this task was the ability to show the link between an image and a target audience from conventional features of a magazine cover and I can also use these features to reach out to my target demographic and psychographic.

I will be able to use these skills to help me in designing my magazine cover so that it can reach out to the target audience which will ensure that my magazine sells as much copies as possible. I will be able to create a magazine that I would read myself and therefore I will be able to attract people of my demographic.
