THE EDGE- FINAL CUT

Ancillary Text One- Magazine Front Cover

Ancillary Pictures - Front Cover


This was the picture we chose to shoot and use for our magazine front cover, I wanted to go for a more glamorous cover, rather then serious or cheap, so I took inspiration from the magazine, Fabulous.

I decided too use a close up in order to emphasise the facial expression and instead of shoot myself as the actress I got into character to play Crystal for the cover.

I wore quite a lot of make and kept with the red lipstick (symbolising danger) to keep to my characters personality and look within the trailer.

I used Picasa to edit my picture, used the highlighter tool, brightener, and shadow tool in order to get this vibrant effect. 

However after feedback I found that I needed to play around with the constrast and saturation as the face was too bleached and didn't allow the facial expression to be clearly seen.

Ancillary Text Two- Billboard

Ancillary Pictures - Billboard

 
As a group we decided that we wanted the poster to push the boundries of a conventional poster. We wanted to think outside the box and create an individual abstract idea. The Idea of the character, Sierra, knowing and controlling the situations gave us the idea of puppets and their master.Whilst shooting our photos for our billboard we tried a variety of puppet poses as if being pulled by strings and a close up of Nat (Sierra)to create the look of a controller/master.

First Attempt

Second Attempt
This was my second attempt at creating a billboard yet i felt it look unprofessional with the back ground and also the E4 banner needed editing and moving to go along with the correct format and current E4 branding. Finally the E4 logo needed placing in the corner.
