Part 6: Pre Production-Layout and Design / Images

Wednesday 26th Feb 2010

Layout/ Design:

i researched on several magazine articles to gain the layout of my article. as a result, i have decided to have image rather than text on the first coloum of my article. this is because my social-economic for my target adueince is Working Class-C2, therefore they may pefer an image at the start of the atricle as from many prespectives this may social-calss don't entry  futher /higher education. in order words they may require an image to attract thier attention instead of text, which was another intention of mine. as a result it emphasises the focus of the arrticle itself.

Images:

this leads onto me deciding to have  an image of the flat and the actors: female villain, the and male victims on the first coloum of my article. I have decided to tuse this design regarding my article after doing research on the DVD covers of several crime dramas. such as 'Prime Suspect ' and others. after these research i have investigated that it would be suitable to have a background of the flat in a watermark format, then applying the actor images. these images will be taken from the Mac as Still Images  For example, i will put the Female Villian in the middle of the flat photo as  Close Up-Personal Shot, so demonstares the protogonists to the aduience. then i will put the 2 photos of the victims on each side of her through the use of Medium Close up shot-Social shot as shown on the right


in the same way, i am going use two types of actors facial expression upon these photos. For instance, for the female villian i will put a  expression of anger to show the dark side of her as the villain. this will make it interesting and dramatic as seeing a female actor as have such facial expression for a female actor employed within a crime drama. on the other hand, for the male victims they will seem as scared towards their female villain again it is a unusual feature found for male actor found within crime dramas. therefore it will make it eneging for my audience as shown on the left.

Other images will taken hwn the female villain will keep her ex-husbands in hostage, which will be a dramatic convention found in crime dramas usually it is vice-versa. as a matter of fact it will clearly refer to the narrarive context of my crime drama.



another image i am going to have for my article is the director and the female villlian  photos. For  instance,  a photo of the director. this photo i will get from the internet as i know. in contrary, for the female villian i will use a close up shot of her face. as i believe it will not be neccessary to have a Medium shot of her as it will be more stuitbale this form. as shown on the right

i will also have a image as a screen award of the female villain like the example shown on the right. in the case of my crime drama it will be based upon the interview with her rather than a award show.  to be able to do this i will take a close up shot of her face. then i will research a model outfit which i will edit in as part of her body.

overall, these images will give a clear outline of my crime drama, which will be useful for my article convention.
