Double Page Spread - Planning - Construction

Double Page Spread For a TV Listing Magazine - Process Of Construction:

As part of are ancillary task we had to carry out two supplementary smaller tasks that aid and support the main moving image task.We choose to construct a Double page spread From a TV listing magazine and a radio edit advertisement to present are production to the audience in a consistent way using good continuity through using a strong house style through out, for example a consistent colour,font image scheme.The idea was to create two supporting tasks that would clearly be matched to are main documentary.

Success's ?

Below is are final constructed Double Page interpretation of a TV listing advertisement.We feel that the house style and genre used does a successful job of matching with the rest of are production.

Final Double Page Spread:




















When taking into consideration every element including research planning and making the product we created using still image software has been a major success.As you can see Adam Rush the main character With the disability.The main center image works well due to the fact Adam is holding a camera, the ideology behind this is Adam doesn't want the camera focusing on him.This sense is created through the emotion showed on Adam face of dismay also he's holding the camera at arms length.The colour and fonts used match themes from a documentary and match the channel 4 logo colours,the reason for this is that a consistent theme is constructed showing the audience all three products are linked.Channel 4 logo used through out to present the distributor.The actual content of information in a writing format is presented in a brief statement of intent.This works well for its purpose as it gives the aliquot amount of information but leaves questions un answered.

Alternative Image That May Have Been Used:

Below is two examples of other images that we could have potently used to presetn Adam in a still image format.There are reasons for why we didn't use each image.We wanted to Do a photo shot that had a range of different connotations to the audience.




















The image above is presenting the ideology that Adam is avoiding looking at the camera with the addition of holding the camera at arms length,its presenting Adam as hiding away from his issues and that being part of this program is a struggle for him.


















This image is a slightly different version of the final image we used.The main ideology behind this image is different to alternative images we took.We looked at a different representation of presenting Adam as wanting people to look at him and see what he has to deal with.By him looking straight at the camera holding it at arms length it presents the idea that he's filming himself,presenting his issues to the audience.

Double Page Spread Template - Master Draft Before Final Edit:


Below is the final draft that we created before adding text..All the colours images remain the same in the final edit,just with the addition of Writing content.

























Below is a example of using alternative Images with the original consistent house styles.We regarded this attempt as being suitable but doesn't produce the same ideology that the image of Adam face on.We faded out the image to try a different style with the image but found it wasn't suitable to tie in with are production theme.






















In order to produce a double page spread the first thing we did was carried out planning of the types of layouts we thought would best represent Adam and are documentary.We deiced that a large image dominating the page was the best option.The image below is a flat plan temple of the standard elements that make up the double page spread.




















We did two other alternative colour changes with this double page spread,using red as a alternative but decided we wanted to keep the same colours throughout are production.





















Research Into Other Examples Of TV Listing Magazine Double Page Spreads :


Before we even started planning and constructing are own double page spread we first looked at other examples both from main stream TV listings such as TV now ,TV choice,we also looked at examples of Students Double page spreads.We we found was that the image plays a important part in any example of TV listing,as the image normal makes up the full back ground.



















These examples of existing media double page TV listing present the types of styles commonly shown through this style of advertisement.What we wanted to take from these example is the bold Tag line title,strong colour scheme,center image and tag lines used in various places on the page.


























Tag lines used :


Adam A life in Anger


As if this life isn't hard enough


A insight to the life.



These were some of the tag lines we wanted to include.

Media Title - Channel 4 Logo Creation ( Second Edition) - For Beginning Of Docmentary



Final Second Edit Edition Of Title Screen:

Above is the final progression from the first edit we carried out of a title screen.As shown on a previous posts this is the same concept of a title screen but with developed animation.After exporting are first edition version of the title screen we felt we wanted to change the animation involved to create more of a impact.

We re uploaded it into Abobe After Effects and removed the original over lapped animation and replaced it with a pre set animation,the animation we finally used was inspired by a commonly used animation in most Channel 4 title screen shots.

Media Title - Channel 4 Logo Creation - For Beginning Of Docmentary

Media Title Screen Construction - Channel 4 Logo:

One of are key reseach sources was channel 4 productions as they have fantasic examples of exisiting docuemntarys.Due to the amount we used channel 4 for examples we wanted to base are production around the idea that it was based on a channel 4 production type.Also having a realistic title logo screen at the start of the clips is a small factor that just brings the whole visal exspecance alive.For example with the start of Films a trade mark for any film is having the distrubers logo at the start of the film.

We carryed out a range of reseach and planning/testing to create a apprate theme of fonts colours etc.Below is every element of the construction of producing are opening title screen.We knew we wanted to produce are own example of a opening logo but using a influenetal distrubers name.

Colours And Fonts Used - Flat Plan Of Key Elements Of Logo Screen:

Below are the two main elements that make up the title screen.We tryed a altitive of two main colours which were green and orange.The reasons we tryed with this colours as accouding to channels 4 reseach into respesntion of disability in documentary these are to two colours to present this feeling within a media product.

Adam A Life In Anger Title:



















Theses are the two examples of are title in the two key colours.We finally choose Orange as a consistant theme.












Here is the examples of the master Channel 4 logo and title font that we constructer through the software of Abobe Photoshop.We used the orginal channel 4 fonts and logos as a referance but we re created the shapes on Abobe photoshop.We created the two key elements on a white back ground as this allowed us to put the JPEG format file into Abobe after effects to over lap a animation to enhance the theme that you would exspect to see in existing docuemntary.




















Below is the example of the whole title screen constructed using the theme of green.We wanted to enhance the size of the 4 logo in a reconisable style.



This is the final cut of the 3D animation for a title squence to present are documentary and show the channel for logo.We think it is successful due to the animation involed that brings it to life instead on a flat still image.
