Final Billboard Ancillary

As you can see we put Fred Perry in the middle as he is the main character or protagonist in the parody. We wanted his costume to create a false identity and therefore we made him wear short shorts, a snazzy t-shirt and a checkered shirt which all seem to look branded. This all helps him seem more higher in the hierarchy then he actually might be. We used plenty of fake tan as most people in Essex have a passion to seem more orange as it apparently makes them seem 'sexier.' However, out of everybody Fred Perry seems to be the wealthiest and have the most amount of popularity. 

To his left is Hugo. Hugo always aims to impress and he is the responsible out of the lot. However, as you can see we wanted him to seem as if he knows how to have a good time. We had Hugo wear a blazer purely to make him seem smart. However, this is overthrown by his facial expressions. Yet again, plenty of fake tan is used to imply how he has to be perfect. 

At the end is Louis, he is the one who never seems to talk however he seems to be the one who can actually dress himself. He is the one who gives everyone their sense of style. Louis is the 'fashion queen.' His top-buttoned checkered shirt and chinos portrays how everything has to perfect and neat. 

On the very right is Toi, she has the biggest attitude which is highlighted by her stance. Her 'bitchy pose' implies how she is trying to attract attention. Also, it insinuates how she feels everybody else is beneath her. Furthermore, her leopard coat is suggesting how she fierce, feisty and wild.

Uggie being in the middle with her hands on her hips suggests how she is extremely confident and likes to think of herself as a leader. The black clothing portrays how she is very shady as if she has a secret to hide maybe she is evil. Her facial expressions convey how she is a very loud character furthermore her posture suggests a upfront personality, that she isn't afraid to speak her mind.

Finally, Chanel wearing pink lipstick might insinuate how she thinks of herself to be a princess moreover, the way she is postured portrays how she is full of her self yet, she wears a lot of make-up on her face which if close attention is payed is different colour from her body highlighting how she is dressing to impress.

Final Magazine Ancillary

as you can see we made alterations to the masthead by making it yellow it stands out more, also we have shifted the bar code to the right hand side, but a box around 'exclusive' and changed the color of 'Bamford' and 'George street' to red, i think all these alterations have made it much more effective, by adding a box around 'exclusive' it has made it stand out and is no longer lost in the background scenery this also applies to the alterations made to the text our features, previously the yellow was hard to see due to the yellow bar therefor was made more visible from the changes. i'm happy with the outcome of our magazine as it captures the rivalry between the two stars and it anchors 'Fred' as stuck in the middle, as well with the red color code resembling both love for 'Fred' and hate for the opponent in his love affair.

Magazine Ancillary - Draft 2

Magazine Ancillary - Draft 1

Billboard Ancillary - Draft 1

This is the draft of our billboard. First we learnt the basic tools on photoshop and then cropped the characters off the green screen. We had to choose the appropriate pictures and then put the three characters in close proximity to make it seem as if it is one picture. We used our title from the banner we made and put in on to this billboard and changed the colours since the the whole billboard is black and white.

Planning for TV magazine

Here is my sketch of our TV magazine we will be creating, featuring the 3 main characters Dan(Fred), Emma(Chanel) and Alice(Uggie) with Dan placed in the middle of his love affair with Alice and Emma which are anchored to ether side of him,our main feature is also anchored to Dan indicating that the main story line is about the 3 characters you see on the front of the magazine, as well as other soaps being featured in our magazine that are indicated on the side strap, this magazine is best for sky and virgin users witch is pointed out on the strap at the top of the page.

Planning for billboard advertisement

This is my sketch of our billboard poster, this will be created using photo shop to crop each character out of the green screen background and placed on to a louis vitton background, which is a brand resembling wealth, in this case false wealth. with our cast anchored to each other indicating they are the main characters of 'REEM' witch is in large bold text above the actors in gold witch is continuing the false wealth and creating a brand identity, with the 'keep calm stay reem' crown propped on the R of 'REEM'

Planning for billboard poster

This is my sketch of our Billboard we designed, this was not a compulsory piece of work, but we decided to create this to see what it would look like and if it would be effective.

Conventions of existing magazines

when referring to existing TV magazines we found a variation in styles for example 'Whats on TV' features lots of bright colors and tacky buttons witch as much as they can cram on the front of what to expect inside there magazine, where as 'TV&Satellite' is a much more classy style of magazine with color codes which in this case is yellow, white and red as well as minimal images and smaller text and almost stricter fonts, so when creating our own Ancillary we had to make a decision as to which style would best suit our Soap, we decided to make a classier magazine such as 'TV&Satellite' as the parody we was referring to are from wealth therefor this fitted in better, now we had a basis to work from and could follow the conventions of this style of magazine.

Emma Hattersley - 092317 - Reem - Final Trailer

Here is our final trailer, we felt the song didn't work without the words and so we added the words. Furthermore, we thought that the video obviously wasn't long enough so we added some more footage which we thought fit well. By utilising the slow motion effect we were able to not only add time to our video but we were also able to

Emma Hattersley - 092317 - Reem Rough Cut

This is a rough cut of our final parody trailer. We used iMovie to import the video footage and then edited it by using various tools and various video effects furthermore, we imported a song we felt met the genre and the mood of the whole trailer. Next, we cut the footage we felt was useless and replaced it with footage we felt worked well after previous footage. After doing so we edited the sound and ducked the sound of the music so you could hear the voices of the character better.

Final Song Choice Lyrics

FINAL SONG CHOICE

SEXY AND I KNOW IT- LMFAO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE&ob=av3e

When I walk on by, girls be looking like "Damn, he fly!"
I pimp to the beat, walking on the street in my new Lafreak, yeah
This is how I roll, animal print, pants out of control,
It's Red Foo with the big afro
In like Bruce Lee, well I got the claw, yo!
Girl look at that body (x3)
I work out
Girl look at that body (x3)
I work out

When I walk in the spot, this is what I see
Everybody stops and staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it
I'm sexy and I know it (x2)

When I'm at the bar, security just can't fight them off
When I'm at the beach, I'm in a Speedo trying to tan my cheeks - what?
This is how I roll, come on ladies it's time to go
We headed to the bar, baby don't be nervous
No shoes, no shirt, and I still get serviced - watch!

Girl look at that body (x3)
I work out
Girl look at that body (x3)
I work out

When I walk in the spot, this is what I see
Everybody stops and staring at me
http://www.elyricsworld.com/sexy_and_i_know_it_lyrics_lmfao.html
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it
I'm sexy and I know it (x2)
I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT...

Girl look at that body (x3)
I work out
Girl look at that body (x3)

I work out
Check it out
Check it out
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yeah......


i decided on this song because i felt it summed up the characters we was creating, that are self obsessed and think of themselfs as 'sexy'


CHOICE ONE 

FOREVER YOUNG- CLUBLAND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaI6eGKFQLQ

Forever young 
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, and ever
Forever young
I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
forever, forever young

i rejected Clubland - Forever young because although the dance music works well with the trailer, the song as a whole didnt grasp the feel we was trying to put across very well, as it resembles quite a cheep night club where as 'REEM' is all about wealth and who can go to the nicest places.

i chose to go with sexy and i know it- LMFAO because 'REEM' is all about looks and vanity there for the lyrics fit in well with how we want our characters to be perceived, and blends in really well giving it a party feel.

Soap Opera Trailer Storyboard

These are the story boards i sketched up from the groups idea's to help remind us of the following scenes when filming,these came in useful when establishing camera angles, locations and which characters are in which scenes, this way we could do it in a neat order.

The only way is NOT Essex Trailer - Inspiration Ideas

This is a spoof based on the Only way is Essex we found on YouTube, we found this video funny as it exaggerates the conventions found in TOWIE, in the same way we was hoping to achieve, therefor we got ideas from this parody and worked it in to suit our trailer for example, the exaggerated fake tan and the controversy of males challenging the conventions by wearing female clothing insinuating the men in TOWIE are feminine. We also liked that the same character was eating in each scene, and this inspired us in our work to use the same type of humor.

TOWIE Mood Board

Existing TOWIE Billboard

before making our own advertisement we looked at existing ones for the parody The only way is Essex, which was very plane featuring all the cast sat on a couch, i noticed that there was a viable split between the males and females as the women where sat and the men where stood this was also worked into our advertisement when being created,again working on a dark background with a flashy bright title.

The only way is Essex DVD trailer

we used this trailer as a reference when creating our own trailer as a existing parody, we took ideas form this trailer such as the use of pink, fake tan, lip gloss, fake eye lashes and big accessories and over emphasized these conventions. to add comedy.

Practice Ancillary For Soap

The process

When creating this piece i used an existing product as something to refur too, similarly to the existing product the mast head is easily spotted at the top of the page, it is imaprtant for this part to be intresting and really catch a customers eye as this is the first they will spot in the news rack.
The virgin logo at the top indicates that this magazine is aimed at virgin users and will be more afficent for that market.

i used alot of the convetions of magazines such my features being to the right hand side, and the cover stars name anchored on, so the audience assume that the guy they are seeing it 'matt' and he stars in doctor who, also coventions such as images on the front cover to indicate what to expect inside the magazine, as well as the bar code, colour codes and prize wins.

Emma Hattersley - Practice Soap Trailer

This is our first attempt at creating a soap trailer, i worked in a group of 3 when editing on imovie for the first time. The aim of this task was not to create to become familiar with the editing process aswell to have a better understanding of what was required when we came to make the final trailer such as costume, lighting, props, camera angles and all that goes with filming.

after doing said task i had a better understanding of camera angles, the importance of costume and how it can make you be perceived, confidence is key, and how the pitch and tone of your voice can make a scene.

camera angles; good camera work is vital when filming, for example when working on this mock trailer we found that half of our footage was wasted due to the camera being facing the day light we lost the characters and was left with outlines instead, this unable'd you to see facial expressions and the position the characters where to each other, this made us wiser to lighting and angles when dealing with the camera and we wouldn't make the same mistake in our final production.

the importance of costume; i found that costume was a important tool to the characters as it defines each to their own and portrays a identity, for example the blue dress could indicate she is a cold heart'ed person, as we later find she is trying to split with her fiance who seems excited for the honeymoon, and he is wearing sunglasses as though he cant wait to be there he is already dressing for the occasion.

Not only are all these things to take into account, i think i have met other conventions such as familiar story lines that people can relate to and title cards that hook the audience as it gives a feeling of they are finding information about whats happened before it has even happened.

Practice Soap Ancillary

This is a practice poster i made using Google images and publisher, i created this to give myself an idea of how they are made and the conventions used to make a Ancillary, i think this was useful to prepare me for my final Ancillary and give me a better chance of doing well. i have used the E4 branding and classic E4 colors to indicate clearly where this program can be watched and at what time.
