FILMING

For our groups beginning of our movie, we chose to use the reversible St Lucia doll. We immediately decided to base it on a voodoo doll so if the doll gets hurt so does a person. We wanted the scenes to be dark and scary so we chose the tunnel to do all the filming, it was quite hard because it was dark we struggled to see how it turned out. The videos were quite shaky because we didn't have a tripod but in the end when we watched the footage back it didn't look bad, it just added to the scary effect. Firstly, we hit the doll on the wall and then a person had to do that too in a way that looked realistic and not fake. Although we haven't edited it yet, I think the footage turned out well.

INDUSTRY AND AUDIENCE QUESTION

Analyse the media language to create meaning in the online Observer home page:

Once way in which the text communicates to its readers is by using stories and opinions that would then form the readers to have conversations with other people who have read these front pages too. Visuals will accompany the story which attracts the readers eye and makes them won't to read the story. They first added stories so that strangers could create conversations with each other when sitting next to each other on public transport.

Surveillance is a huge part of newspapers, viewers like zooming into other people's life. So if the story and its photo is about someones personal life, people will be more likely to read it. Also, if a famous persons name is on the front cover and has a story about them, if you are interested in that person you are very likely to go on and read what has happened to them recently. The Observer, for example, will put something for everyone on the home page, from personal stories, to food, to famous people, to sports and even countries, there will be something everyone wants to read. Short and simple titles for each story is what the Observer has done which is what will bring the readers into the newspaper.

PHOTOSHOP

This is my photoshop experiment, I used polar co-ordinates to make my image into a 360 circle. Then I added my production name and said that the skyline was London.
