The Last Of Us

The main character of the Last Of Us, Joel is a complicated and tortured character. He is a white middle aged man, he is portrayed as mysterious due to his unknown past which is only hinted at during the game. Due to the beginning of the game, when Joel's daughter is killed at the beginning of the prolog of the game Joel's character begins a journey which isn't seen by the players. Its seen to change him when he is available to be played as later in his life due to the fact he finds it difficult to open up to the man female protagonist Ellie. This is due to Joel's fear of Ellie replacing Sarah (his daughter), but he is later seen to over one this later in the game. Becoming so attached to Ellie that he refuses to give up her life to find a cure to the virus. He then lies to her to protect their relationship.

Adverts

McDonalds, is a vastly popular fast food restaurant which has restaurants available in over 100 countries, making it available to nearly everyone in the world. In order to further spread around the world they release a number of advertisements plugging their upcoming meals and burgers. The way they work is that the advert is shown, the burger is available for a short amount of time after and then is taken down from the menu and is no longer available to the public. The adverts, which are available as billboards, on Tv, the radio and on social media. As well as this they have a slogan and a jingle which has become instantly reconcilable to the public, and is related to the restaurant straight away. This is further enforced by the colour red which is instantly recognized as being the primary colour of McDonalds since it's beginning.

Neils film

Up shooting the short film, i quickly realized that the film that had originally been intended was not very practical and nearly impossible to shoot with our budget. So the film was re wrote during production. The new plot consists of a man that has lost his house and family due to gambling debts. The actor involved Robert Halogen. The production would be centered around him and he would be the star of the production. His character will have long unkept hair and a beard as well as wearing the same clothes all throughout production to signify that he is unkept and homeless.
The synopsis goes as follows, a man wakes up on a park bench not knowing where he is or how he got there(this is unchanged from the original film). It then precedes to go directly to a flash back of the character gambling with items such as scratch cards and slot machines. After this the character checks his pockets to regain some sense of what happened on the night prior. This provides no clues. He then precedes to watch back camera footage of a local corner shop of which he used to visit with his children. Sure enough, the footage reveals he had been through a heavy night of drinking at an attempt to drown his sorrows. At the end of the film, the man comes to terms with the loss and moves on with his life, without his family.
The name of the film is which was created relating to the picture, is Lucky Lewis. Lucky being a reference to the gambling addiction he suffers through the film.


The costume design for the main and only character would be clothes that would keep you warm, since he lives outside on the streets. His hair and make up would make him look unkept due to the length of his hair and beard.
Many filming locations were used throughout shooting, such as Roberts home, SeaBurn and Sunderland college. They were specifically chosen due to their look and overall appeal, adding different locations to filming

The link above will direct you to my youtube channel where a video is posted of the main actor Rob forgetting his lines. It is named out takes.
The link to the short film is listed below.

Mystery, Drama man that helps him outrun the police and the government. Phone boxes, ID badges, hats A man enters a shop and purchases supplies used to disappear, such as hair dye, sunglasses and hats He meets someone that helps him avoid the police for a crime which he was falsely convicted off  The film ends with the convict escaping and the audience never fining out if he truly escapes or if he gets captured Extras and actors will be used to make this short film The locations used would be barns park, Sunderland interchange and Sunderland college A mysterious man (our lead character (our main protagonist) enters a shop to purchase items -he is confronted by a customer who claims to know him yet he has no reelection of ever knowing him (the customer, Daniel joins the story) -they journey to a phone box to entre a number the main character found in his jacket pocket, not knowing how it got there or who’s number it is, the number is called and the police surround the area Sound The sounds used I this film would largely be non-diegetic, and the audience wouldn’t know what they’re hearing, much like the main character not knowing who he is. The plot to this film is much like that off The Bourne Identity. A man with a mysterious past is hunted by police/government and doesn’t remember or know why.

Upon trying to shoot this film, I quickly realised that our budget and the time available for the project made the vision I had as director almost impossible. Due to this the script was changed. The new script, which was centred around a gambling addict that is depressed about the loss of his wife and son due to his addiction, this causes him to take up drinking and becomes and an alcoholic.
The main actor in this production, fellow class member Robert.
The film beggins with an opening mid shot of Robert (character named Lewis) looking dazed and confused. It then cuts to black and reads 'Two weeks earlier'. Following this, it shows 'Lewis' and his gambling addiction, this shot is of the character using a starch card. It then shows Lewis failing to win anything on said scratch card. Much later (after many months of gambling with little to no success) he receives a text message from his wife and son, this character is portrayed by Josh Pool. The text explains to Lewis that his wife simply cannot stand his addictions anymore. It then shows multiple shots of Lewis drinking. After a heated argument with his friend which eventually came to a physical fight, he decides to quit drinking and gambling for good. It then cuts to black and reads 'After a long hard look at himself, Lewis decided to attend a twelve step rehabilitation program, as well as this he decided to start a talking group of his own to help anyone with his affliction. The final shot in the film is a mimicking shot of 'AA member' portrayed by Mitchell, the camera follows Mitchell through a door way to a room with chairs set in a circle, the door then closes and a sign reads ' Lewis's alcohol and gambling rehabilition centre'. Then the credits roll to Oasis's song 'Supersonic'.

Evaluation

To create my magazine  I used photoshop, this is because it has more tools and functions than that of another other adobe program. It gives the user tools that make them able to do things such as re scaling photos, cropping phtots and much more.
For the front i decided to use a custom made font, due to there not being much choice available, as well as this using a custom font would also make the magazine more professional and harder to impersonate.









The colour scheme of the font used is gold and white, this is because the two colours contrast. When it came to my front cover i took two possible photos, I used Rob as my model due to his friendly appeal. I chose the first photo over the second due to its better quality.











It was used as the dominant image.
Another reason this front cover was chosen was due to Robs direct dress to the audience

I cropped the background of both photos to ensure its as visually pleasing to the audiences eye as possible. To do this I used the eraser tool and the magic wand tool. As well as this i rescaled the image to fit the page and its need.
To cover some of the white background i used a bright red curtain, to not only relate the the film and theater genre but to grab the attentions of any readers. This curtain was plagiarized, if this was a real magaizine there was a possibility of getting sued.
The main strap line was related to the main article and in bold and easy to read font.


I included a brief over view of whats in the magazine as well as quotes from the model Robert, it uses the same colour scheme as the front cover, gold and white to keep in with the theme of the magazine. I used quotes over reviews because it gives the magazine a more professional theme. As well as letting the audience get closer to the model for the magazine.

The props used were a popcorn box, this is a cliche of going to watch films and the cinema itself. As well as this the model is sitting on a pop corn box, to add comedic affect.
The double page spread much like the front cover has large bold text to catch the eye of the reader.
The double page spread is modeled after a book, with the articles acting as the story on the pages of said
book.
As well as this it features another popcorn bag as a reference to cinema. it features an interview with Rob and the article itself. As well as this it features a photo of Rob (also cropped to be visually pleasing) reading watchmen, a popular novel turned to a film adaption. The book background is old and warn down to connote that this magazine is old and well used, showing its supported by a lot of the public.

The font is fitting with the theme and eye catching. This is to entice the audience.

Peoples evaluation of my magazine 

Robert - The image for the front cover is good as it has a direct gaze which will get the audiences attention. However, the text seems to be everywhere.
he target audience for this magazine would mainly be males with occasional female readers. The age would range anywhere from 16-40 due to the range of films my magazine would be covering. The social class reading my magazine would definitely need to be upper, due to the speed in which the reviews would be released, directly after the films own release. People reading my magazine would need to be able to afford to see these titles at the pictures when they first become available to the public.
The purpose of my didgital magazine is too provide reliable and up to date reviews of upcoming and present films at the pictures. As well as this we would release a top 100 films list every year which would have been decided by the fans with help from the magazine.
The secondary images used were edited to fit their porpose in this magazine, such as being re sized and scaled.
