Learning objective: To familiarise with the creation of a print based artefact for MS3 submission.
Key terms:
Subvert
Replicate
Production
Candidates are required to submit a production which should develop from and be informed by the candidate's research investigation.
This production must be in a different form from the AS production.
Audio-visual productions should be up to 4 minutes in length (depending on the nature of the production).
Print-based productions (or their digital equivalent) should be a minimum of 3 pages.
Digital media (other than audio-visual productions) and print-based productions must be individual. Audio-visual productions can be produced either individually or in groups (maximum 4).
Group tasks must offer appropriate opportunities for each candidate to demonstrate an individual contribution.
The print production you create must reflect your research findings and must be produced individually.
Print texts can include DVD covers, film posters, CD covers, magazine covers and pages etc.
You must produce a minimum of 3 pages.
Tips for creating a successful print text:
You must demonstrate your ability to plan and construct a print media product. You must also demonstrate your technical and creative skills - your submission should look as professional as you can make it.
If you are working in a print medium you must choose a format that will demonstrate your research findings.
For example; the front covers of a television listings magazine would not be an appropriate text in which to illustrate your findings of narrative in crime drama. A DVD cover and posters would would be better and give you more opportunities to demonstrate the focus. This is particularly relevant where you are using a print medium to demonstrate the research findings of audio-visual texts.
Whatever print texts you choose to produce, you must use your own original photographs. You will not be given credit for photographs you have not taken yourself, even if you manipulate them digitally using Photoshop. Planning your photos and using a good quality camera (not your phone camera) will mean you have less post production to do. Consider settings for your photography and lighting. The imagery must give the audience clues to the genre.
For editing, use Adobe Photoshop software. This will give you much more professional results as it allows you to create layers and achieve a range of special effects which will gain marks for you.
Be aware of the codes and conventions of your chosen format and genre. For example, a DVD cover should incorporate the typical features of the text. Remember the small details, the design of the spine and the industry information on the back.
The back of a DVD cover is as complex in its layout and design and use of images as the front.
For the purposes of this unit, a DVD cover counts as two pages.
Importantly, use the texts analysed in your research investigation as a guide.
Do you intend to subvert or replicate your findings? How will you do this?
Task 1: Complete the handout provided which asks you to expand on your initial ideas.
Task 2: Draw a spider diagram based on the handout. This should help you to explore your ideas and incorporate the findings you made through primary and secondary research.
Use colour. Your Spider diagram should look like the one below:
