Evaluation Storyboards:
For some reason Blogger is acting up again, i have no idea why, it must have something to do with my account style settings, which it really shouldn't.
Since it would not let me upload this in a power point presentation in Google Docs. I've put the pictures up for you to get a closer look, and a link HERE for the actual presentation format.

So,
Q1. each group member will be talking about a form (and how we either used/developed/challenged it) and a convention (and how we either used/developed/challenged it).
Q2.For this each group member will be talking about one aspect of the work i.e Text, Graphics and Terms of Design.
Q3. This will consist of questions and audience answering them.
Q4. Each group member will be talking about one or two media technology they have used in both the construction and the R&P (research and planing) e.g.

2. R&P- Presentation uploading onto blogger & other.
-I thought that since we pretty much covered all the technology we have used, we can end the evaluation by having a group talk about how we used technology in our evaluation.
And that's that :)

New Magazine:
-Since we discovered that we cannot use SFX magazine, we will be using:
They are very Women focused, and are more for modern day, generally 'stronger' women, and we think that this will be well suited for our double page spread because of the fact that our documentary is about exploring the roles of women in comics and showing how much they have been belittled, the inequalities in subtext and so on, we we would like to empower women.
-Examples of Cosmo' pages.

Research: Newspaper advertisment
Which Newspaper to print the advertisment in?
I chose: (click on picture link)
Why?
It's a free newspaper and any one can pick it up, it's very popular paper and more people will see the add. It's a general paper, not too political like most, and not tabloid like the sun. It's distributed all over england, and main areas of Scotland and Wales.
-Example from the Metro (on my TA/Topic):

(Nemi is a cartoon strip in the metro that as i have recently found out, many comic readers enjoy, and is also sold as an actual comic book, this relates well to our TA.)
(This is a picture of the Metro newspaper promoting the newly released Watchmen movie, based on an award winning comic by Alan Moore.)
LASTLY:-I also spotted this on their website: goodbye-america

Research: Double Page Spread
Which Magazine to publish the double page spread in?
I have chosen either: (Click on these to go to the websites)
Why?
Because 'Closer' magazine has too much of a clear focuse on celebrities/soaps/gossip, and isn't for our TA from looking at the TA description on the Bauer media website.
'Entertainment Weekly' is an american based magazine, and i'm not too sure if we can include these, so i'm not going with that just to be safe. However it would have been the best option.
'Panini Comics', i believe, from what i have seen on their website, only prints comics, not actual magazines, 'we also have about 25 regular comic and magazine titles '.
'SFX' is a British sci-sfi magazine that has a lot of comic related articles and seems like a relevant place to put out double page spread. From the material inside it is the perfect attraction for our TA.
-Example of Double Page Spreads From 'SFX' (relating to my TA/Topic):
This top one i thought was quite odd to have in there, but it's good because it tells me that the magazine has a good variety and that my double page spread could possibly fit in well.

DRAFT 5:
-For this, I've stuck with the idea of having a woman at the center of the add. and used Zane's idea of the comics, and also added his text and text style to the add. I've also changed the colour to orange to match the logo.
-This time I've kept the woman clear, and obscured the background a little with her hair. I've kept the comicy box style for the lettering (art by Dustin Nugyen).

DRAFT 4:
-I've gone with zane's idea of having comic books in the picture, and also used his box style for the lettering, which is quite comicy, and used an orange colour scheme to match the logo, with a white border, which, in hindsight, doesn't work very well.
-I've used the picture of a woman in the center, which was always the original idea, but I've blurred her out in the front to give the idea of woman obscured in comics. I was worried that if i blurred the comics in the back people might not be able to tell what they were.
-I've used a different font compared to the logo to give variety.
EBI:
It's too busy, and should be a little simplified, the woman in the front shouldn't be blurred.

Mirella's Anciliary:
THIS is Mirella's first draft of the ancillary, it's the advertisement. I couldn't put it up because blogger was acting up again, sorry for the inconvenience!
EBI:
-This is far too basic. The text can be better placed and it's also missing other information.
Hannah's Anciliary:
This is my first draft of the advertisment.
-This hasen't been properly looked at, but i believe that we should change the colour scheme to orange and white, like the logo. It would work better in terms of design.
-It was suggested that instead of having a lot of women on the page there should be only one. This looks more like a 'childerens Tv show advertisment', which i slightly agree with. It needs to be more mature.
This is my third draft of the double page spread:

Anciliary Work: Zane
My second draft of the ancillaries has to be flattened and added to my blog, but here is what Zane has been up to!
Third Draft (Ad):
EBI
-For this we didn't think that the graphics did a really good job portraying the documentary, it's too simple and doesn't match up with the mood of the documentary. It would be better if there was a picture of maybe a well know woman from comic books.
www
-However the Orange of the boxes work well because it goes with our ComicCorp. logo colours.
Fourth Draft (Ad):
WWW
-This one is very creative and engaging. It's a good example of clever advertising, 'Women in Comics', a woman made of comics, hence, she's in comics. Good one Zane!
EBI
-Although the boxes in believe need to be changed back to orange. I also had the worry that because it needs to be at a distance for the womans face to be seen clearly, people wont see the detail, that the little pictures a comic covers. Also because our advertisment will be taking up the whole page of a newspaper i fear that it will be too close and people wont really get it (i realised this after seeing it in print form).
First draft (double page spread):
WWW
-The bottom is quite good, it looks like a real product and is well organised.
EBI
-however the one majour critisizm for this is that the background picture has no relevance, and is not clear. The title is also quite simple and looks wrong, i feel it could be a little more creative.

Ancillary Tasks:
-We've set to work on these over the half term.
Fist up, the newspaper Ad (by Zane)
-This was his first design, and i really liked it, it's very bold, engaging and interesting. He said he wanted the layout to look like a comic book page, which i can appreciate, my criticism for this, however, was that there was just too much going on, with irregular miss matching fonts (with slight grammar error). I found it a little hard to make out on the writing at the bottom.
-So he took that on board and came up with this, which is fantastic, simple, has got all the right info, to the point, and a great choice of graphic.
IMPROVEMENT!
-Teachers criticism for this was that the green didn't go, and the style, and add the 'comic corp.' logo and adjust it so that the white wasn't there.
-I suggested, that we could probably break convention and stylise the More4 logo to fit the style that we want, that's mostly dark colours, red/black.
Secondly! The double page spread (Me)
-This is my first design, i wanted to have a dark colour scheme (black/red mostly), i wanted it to be quite dynamic, glossy looking and quite active, also much like the pages of a comic book. There is dummy text in the text block, but for the actual final draft we will have real text to do with the documentary. I wanted it to be mostly visual, to catch the readers eye with a snappy title.
-Problems with this: The background is boring and quite blank, i couldn't decide on what images to use to fill it up and make it look fuller.
-I also don't think that the images are that interesting, they are relevant, but not as bold as i would have liked to make them.
IMPROVEMENT!
-I then came up with this. Zane suggested that we connect the Ad and the double page spread even more through imagery, so, as you may faintly see in the background, i have used the same image of the girl that he used in his Ad. It's quite subtle but effective because it's a good 'filler', you may not notice it when it's there, but like in the first draft, when it's not there, it looks a little more empty and unfinished. I also used a second picture i found myself. These enhance the edginess and dark style we have.
-I also added a subtitle for the text block and on the bottom right, more text. There are a few mistakes, but these are only first drafts which i did on paint.net (a little like photoshop, but but in a basic 'pain' style). I believe Zane did his in Illustrator. We will be doing the final draft on Indesign.
Teachers criticism:
-It's to busy, your eyes don't know where to look.
-The title is a little immaturely done.
-Looks too much like an advertisement.

Ancillary post:
So, for our double page spread and news paper advertisement, i've gone off and done some research, and i've found some handy sites that i can learn from. Here are are few examples of double page spreads. (This post is a continuation from this one.)
Double Page Spread Analysis
--So from looking at this presentation, it seems that for a double page spread there are limited colour schemes, quite simple, fashionable and effective. The layouts are very open, they're not clustered like, the front page of a magazine lets say, and it makes it easier to read and nicer to look at. The pictures get to the point, they have to be large to call out to the reader.
(note to self: good website to upload my first individual presentation onto and post to blogger.)
-Here we can see that the graphics, just like the first slide i sound above, match the mood of the pictures.
-What i especially like are the blown up quotes, thats a good quick insight into what the article actually talks about. The pictures are the primary source for getting the readers attention, then the title/subtitles, then the bold quotes, much like the pyramid style of writing journalists use to get readers to keep reading.

FINAL PRODUCTION
Our production is finished!!!
It was quite a journey to get it to where it is. We've taken heed of the mark scheme, so i hope it works out. I am happy to present 'Women in Comics & Comics culture'
Now, down to our ancillary tasks ^_^
Just a note-
I don't believe that we should have had to make our own music for our documentary, documentaries don't really do that. (I caught something on Tv a while ago that had the same part of the Foo Fighters song that we wanted to use in our documentary, and it really does work well.)

Storyboard: Draft 2
This is the second/final draft of the storyboard, we only did a storyboard of the parts we needed to film/re-film. Storyboards for the whole thing will be put up later if it's really needed.

Changes-
At first we wanted a slide show with covers of comic books with women on them. But then we went with Zanes idea instead, which is the new beginning of the slide show. He put up of the clip of batgirl, anime con., the comic flip and then the interview, this worked much better visually, then me and Mirella edited it.
Our first idea for the Comic Corp ident was to have someone flipping through a comic book, reaching the logo at the end, then to cross-fade that into the actual logo, (bellow, rought visual)
-but instead we came up with the three women passing it around instead. The previous idea proved to be difficult in terms of framing and pace. This one was better because it incorporated the idea of women.

Decisions and revisions:
-Right, i was planning on putting up the storyboards, but that will take long, my computer is quite slow (scanning, uploading etc.) So i give you this.
We had to structure how it was going to start and finish, so we did a mini plan. At first it looked like this:
Which is an unreadable mess made by me and zane.
After, i think, about three attempts, me, Mirella and Zane came up with this:
Much better :) Sorry about the blurriness.

Script: Third Draft
This is the third and last draft of the script that i'd developed. It's a lot more snappy, and is not only the intro to the documentary, with the More4 ident, but also with our own ident. It also starts to go into the actual documentary aswell.
3rd Draft- Green
3rd Draft- Green
Friday, 5 February 2010
Firstly: Ident
We have already decided to put out production on More4, a channel which showes a lot of interesting documentaries. ( As u can see from their program listing also)
We used this ident with our own voice over. (http://www.theidentgallery.com/player.php?id=MORE4-2007-ID-2)
However, i couldn't find the one without the voice over that we used (it was Zane's job to find the ident), but this is the style of our Ident, ours is the whole clip (20 sec).
We got another class mate to do the voice over for us because she had a mature and clear voice, similar to that of most V.O speakers.
I watched these and more,
And took down some of the things that may need to be in an ident, i.e.
-The show on later (time, w/who)
-Now (time maybe) short witty description --> e.g 'now, for something to wet your whistle'
-who is presenting
-what it is
-what it's about
-warnings
-Give the name e.g. 'Here on More4'
The speakers in the ident are always quite casual and witty.

Super-Update:
Haven't updated in a while, too busy focusing on the work, but the next serise of posts will show everything that has been done so far.
Where we left off:
-Scrip problems: Too much content,
The structure of our production was too much like a miniuture documentary. We went through two structures to get to our final production.
-Music problems: Using too much copyrighted material
We were unable to use the music we wanted.
-Filming problems:
We were unable, eventually, to film at Forbidden Planet.
Solutions!
1.Me, Zane and Mirella started making our own on Garage band, then uploading it onto iTunes and editing it further on imovie.
-We picked a simple tune to put in the back ground, but we found that other members of our media class, upon watching it, found it too repetitive and annoying, so we decided to alternate between two main tunes, as well as using the 'Kryptonite' song by Three Doors Down. This worked very well, and gave variation, keeping interest.
2. There were further issues with getting permission to film at Forbidden Planet that would have taken a lot of time.
-Unable to film outside and infront of these two places, we settled on filming not only in the black drama room, but also found it suitable to film in the library. Because it would have taken a while to get permision from our local library, and also one by little venice, (which has a big manga/ comic section) we decided to film in out school library.
3. The script was changed three times, i'll be posting all three drafts later. Google documents is being a problem, and has very limited file space, however it's where we were instructed to do our blogs.
-Also, another draft of storyboards was drawn up, i'll be posting those later as well.
-We also decided to add an ident, which i will be mentioning in another past.
------------------------
I think that's it for now, i'll be going back over posts and adding bits and peices maybe. I'll be expanding on all the things i have brought up in this post.

-Scrip problems: Too much content,
The structure of our production was too much like a miniuture documentary. We went through two structures to get to our final production.
-Music problems: Using too much copyrighted material
We were unable to use the music we wanted.
-Filming problems:
We were unable, eventually, to film at Forbidden Planet.
Solutions!
1.Me, Zane and Mirella started making our own on Garage band, then uploading it onto iTunes and editing it further on imovie.
-We picked a simple tune to put in the back ground, but we found that other members of our media class, upon watching it, found it too repetitive and annoying, so we decided to alternate between two main tunes, as well as using the 'Kryptonite' song by Three Doors Down. This worked very well, and gave variation, keeping interest.
2. There were further issues with getting permission to film at Forbidden Planet that would have taken a lot of time.
-Unable to film outside and infront of these two places, we settled on filming not only in the black drama room, but also found it suitable to film in the library. Because it would have taken a while to get permision from our local library, and also one by little venice, (which has a big manga/ comic section) we decided to film in out school library.
3. The script was changed three times, i'll be posting all three drafts later. Google documents is being a problem, and has very limited file space, however it's where we were instructed to do our blogs.
-Also, another draft of storyboards was drawn up, i'll be posting those later as well.
-We also decided to add an ident, which i will be mentioning in another past.
