Today is the last day before the easter holidays which will last two weeks. It is daunting to know that after the holidays we will have only two weeks to finish our coursework completely, so today Daniel and I really wanted to crack on with things. We have finished our poster, the film has been completed all except for the sound effects and monologue which means that all is left is to do the magazine cover. We will be finishing the sound editing of the film at a later date when we have the equipment we need, i.e. a microphone.
We encountered a problem with creating the background that we wanted, however, as we had no internet to help us. We definitely want the background to have a mysterious, smokey effect, but this cannot be achieved without having use of the internet for help, advice, and effects that can be downloaded. We tried many times to use the tools provided by photoshop, but nothing worked for us. We can't do anything else to the magazine cover until the background has been done as that is the first layer, so we had run into a deadend with this issue. We decided that we would instead find the image of Scott that we wanted to use and cut it out ready for when we could do the magazine cover. After cutting it out with the magnetic tool, we used the smugde brush tool to airbrush Scott's face of any blemishs, as would happen to an image being used for a real magazine. After we had done this, we didn't have much else to do.
We passed the time productively by experimenting with different music whilst watching our film, to see if there was anything better than what we already had. After much deliberation, we decided to stick with our original ideas.
