Ancillary task - Film magazine front cover




Before I made the front cover for a magazine, I had to chose between a couple of shots of Phil/ Main character. We had one of him vaulting a wall and running. I decided to chose the vaulting one because I felt it conveyed the action/thriller genre we are working in. To improve the shot, I used photoshop to make Phil more in depth then the background. For the magazine cover, I make the layer of Phil jumping over the wall overlapping everything even the magazine front cover. This made Phil more eye catching and the main focus of the cover

Overall- I am very happy with this front cover, I think it shows that the film is action packed and exsiting.

Possible photos to be used for the poster

I took some action shots of our main hero to be used in our film poster. I think both shots are good and I have to make them into a poster to see which one is better.

Evaluation Questions.

We have four question we need to answer after the film has been filmed and this are: -

1- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

British ideology

Since the end of the Cold War many of Britain’s intellectuals have sought to carve out new ideologies based on transcending the left-right divide. The distinctions left and right are portrayed as dinosaur categories referring to a lost world of class struggle and elite driven neoliberalism, no longer with any purchase on understanding the contemporary world. In their own ways, Anthony Giddens, John Gray, George Monbiot, Frank Furedi, Nick Cohen and Phillip Blond, have all sought to promote alternative political positions. Coombs traces their shared obsession with exorcising Marx, and their avoidance of examining exploitation as the economic base of the left-right division manifested in the ideological superstructure. Taking each writer as a launch pad for an exploration of prevalent ideological themes, he pieces together the puzzle of today's distinctly British Ideology.

The left right divides are as follows
