Ancillary Update

once i had taken the pictures and selected which one i was going to use i could then make more progress with my ancillary tasks:

Pictures

so i have now taken the pictures i needed for my ancillary tasks, here is a selection of the best for each actor as well as the background:

 so for my magazine cover i chose to use the first one because it represented more of a medium shot and I didn't want to use too much of the body I used the fourth one for my poster because I only wanted the shoulders and it would be easy to crop and the picture is close enough to not lose the quality

so for this actor i chose the second one, originally the plan was to use them all from front on but i think the pictures would blend better if the people on the side were facing inward and i didn't like the angle of the third one when experimenting i took pictures from a high and a low angle

this was a difficult one although he's a great actor he doesn't photograph particularly well alot of the photos i took weren't of a good standard but from these better ones I went with the first because it was the best one that went with my new idea

so for my background i chose the third one, i tried it with the coins but the contrast was too high and i felt the coins made to background to energetic rather than passive so i was worried about it distracting from the main image

Poster work

i need to start work on my poster and here's what i've done so far:

Titles

now that the work on introducing the actors is done i need the titles so i can put them in between certain shots to show you who the actors are:

magazine cover construction

ok so now that my trailer editing is well under way i needed start thinking about the construction of my ancillaries, so i dont have the photographs yet, so i will make all of the text that goes around it like the masthead and some cover lines, etc.

Next stages of editing

now that the soundtrack and the opening sequence is in place it's time to add the next bit, the next bit of the trailer is introducing the actors individually so here are a few screen grabs of me doing that

Editing in Final Cut Pro

now that i have all the footage I needed to start the editing, i need to get the shots in the order i want them and cut down any of the fat from the footage and align them with my soundtrack and voice over

The soundtrack

my soundtrack was very simple by using soundtrack pro i was able to find a suitable style of music that would fit then simply select the exact track that I wanted
