FINAL Draft for Print Production 2 :]

Ok, so we didn't complete our second print production by Tuesday but we completed it the day after =D. The reason as to why we didn't finish on Tuesday is because we wanted to put our second print production onto an A4 Portrait layout after Miss Holliday told us to do so, and while doing this myself and Amal realised that there was not enough text, so we knew that write more in order to fill in the gaps. We managed to do most of it on Tuesday but couldn't finish because the school closed at 4:00 pm, so we went back on Wednesday to finish it off. We ensured that we followed the codes and conventions of an interview from EMPIRE magazine in order for us to create our own, and made sure that we followed the layout to ensure that it would look like an article from the magazine.

So now both print productions are completed WOOHOO... it was so hard using Adobe Photoshop for some of the images because knowing which layers were which was very confusing, but we were able to use Adobe Illustrator which was so much easier, but now we're finished I just wanna say I'm happy with my group (as always) because once again we managed to finish before the deadline :)

Well done girls ツ

3rd Draft for Print Production 2 :)

Well, we have made the changes to our second print production which really didn't take long. However after showing it to Miss Holliday we were advised to do it on an A4 Portrait layout, as it would really look like a magazine article, so myself and Amal are going into school tomorrow to complete it. (Hopefully!)

2nd Draft for Print Production 2

So, we have done our second print production, and as with our first print production we had to have it checked over by our teacher. Once again, he said it was good =D although there were a few mistakes. He told us that he really liked the layout, due to the fact that it is from EMPIRE, so well done to Amal for designing that ツ. It won't really take us that long to do because there are only a couple of things of which we need to change, so we will be posting up our new and improved second print production later today.

1st Draft for Print Production 2

RELEASED: May 17

CERTIFICATE: 15

DIRECTORS: Amal Farah, Jaleesa Denton, Meena Waheed

CAST: Meena Waheed, Codie Wilson, Fahad Farah, Suhrab Waheed

RUNNING TIME: 114 mins

PLOT: 17 year old Jennifer Owen has always had the perfect life; a boyfriend, friends, and a family. Until one night she collides with a calamity that has set out to destroy her. 

Empire takes a closer look at the film ‘Obsession’, as Empire writer Martin Scott, interviews the young stars of today’s horror films that have outburst across many screens in our towns.

‘Obsession’ is a new and thrilling horror that doesn’t follow the typical conventions of horror films, but has a mind gripping twist that allows the audience to reflect upon the truth behind this film.

Martin talks to the star of ‘Obsession’ Meena Waheed who plays Jennifer, the protagonist who is caught in a tangle that she can’t escape.

EMPIRE: Before we begin Meena, I just wanted to say It’s a pleasure having you here as you have certainly outwit the reviews for this film since you played such a major role. 

WAHEED: The pleasure is all mine, Martin, it has been such a great opportunity being part of a strong, solid and supporting group that has created such a powerful film that reflects upon reality.

EMPIRE: Can you explain to Empire how it felt being in a film where murder and blood are customary, and how it was being the youngest on the set. 

WAHEED: (laughs) Well I guess you could say I was treated very special. It was so exciting being there and working with such wonderful and inspiring directors. Although the constant filming was very tiring but I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

EMPIRE: How do you think ‘Obsession’ compares to other horror/thriller films?

WAHEED: Wow, well I guess if we are comparing I would say ‘Obsession’ is on a fine line with the film ‘Captivity’ as they both send subliminal messages across and try to reach the audience, but with ‘Obsession’ we reach the audience on another level, as the film cleverly dictates reality.

EMPIRE: Absolutely, ‘Obsession’ has shown differences in the way people watch films and because of this it has had a very good review, what did you make of the reviews?

WAHEED: The reviews were excellent and the directors were very pleased because they also had very good comments from other directors such as Steven Spielberg.

EMPIRE: When they chose you to play Jennifer, how did you feel? because there were other excellent actresses that were also considered.

WAHEED: I was very surprised because other girls had more experience and were very talented, so I was very shocked that the directors chose me, but I was very happy and pleased because the outcome was great.

EMPIRE: Most definitely, and this has been a pleasure as Obsession has shown to be a new era of horror films, and you most certainly captured a new aspect of horror films. It was great talking to you, thank you.

WAHEED: Thank you Martin for having me and hopefully I’ll be talking to Empire in the near future.

FINAL Draft for Print Production 1 =D

YAY! We have finally finished our first print production, after many many weeks it's done. We thought we were finished last time, but we were advised by our other teacher (Miss Holliday) to put our article on an A4 Portrait layout, in order to have the effect of a real magazine article, and so that it would be easier for people to read. I went to school today, and sat at the computer copying and pasting everything! from an Adobe Illustrator A3 Landscape layout to an Adobe Illustrator A4 Portrait layout, I found it quite easy to do as I focused it on the draft layout of which was already in an A4 Portrait layout, it took ages but I am happy with the outcome. I'm proud of how well myself and my group have done in creating our first print production.

We are currently working on our second print production and hope to have it finished by Tuesday ツ

5th Draft for Print Production 1 - Changes MADE!!! ツ

So as you can see, we have made the changes of which we were told to do by our teacher, there weren't many changes to make so it wasn't really hard to do, however one of the most biggest changes we had to make was to depixelate our background .i.e. the blood. I had Mr Babu help me with this as I didn't really know what to do, he had reduced the brightness of it, and made it a bit more blurry. After he had finished, myself and Amal looked at it, and realised that it looked exactly like blood more so than our original, so we were very happy with the outcome, and also realised that it would be able to attract more readers as it truly blended in with the genre of our film, which is what we wanted all along.

4th Draft for Print Production 1 - Changes needed to be made

I finally completed the draft for our first print production, and all of us attended the session today in order for us to give it to our teacher so we could get some feedback, and for him to check if there was anything we could change or add. As you can see, I stuck with the layout of which we used for our 3rd draft of our first print production although I made some changes to it .i.e. the re-positioning of the text. We gave our 4th draft for our first print production to our teacher, in order for him to check it, he sat down with us and read through our print production. Overall he said it was good, although there were one or two minor mistakes, and that we needed to sort them out. We aim to make these changes and post up our new first print production on our blog later today. ツ
