Preliminary Task





We had some problems with this part of our project, since our original video was lost due to technical difficulties (a tower spiking).
We had to remake our video using old footage and none of the original editing so we had to re-film certain parts and re-edit.
This meant we missed out some parts of film and it did cause a delay but our teacher said It proved we had completed the exercise.

Here is the finished DVD cover. I created the design in Microsoft word, following the design of the earlier DVD cover 'Jerry Maguire' that i researched. I created the film title by using a website (dafont.com) which had many different fonts and then transfered the chosen font to Macromedia Flash to edit the colours. I went with the white background as i had trouble editing the white backgroud that surrounded the images i was going to include. I also included our production logo and pictures from our actual film footage and also created a cartoon ninja in paint. I am pleased with the outcome of our DVD cover as i think it matches the film genre really well.

Logo idea


The first thing we decided on as a group was our production name. Harry Thake used a random word generator to give us some ideas and as a result we came up with the name 'Deadfish Productions.' This also represents humour to match the theme of comedy for our opening sequence.

I then decided to start planning our logo so we could import it onto our perliminary task as soon as possible. I opened word and started playing around with colours and searched the internet for images of fish to help me develop an image to create. In the end, i went with the idea of a fish skeleton to portray the name 'Deadfish' and i began to draw it. I used a black felt tip to just outline the simple shape. I went with the colours orange and black for the shape around the fish as the colours contrast each other and the simpleness adds to the effect. Once the logo was finished, i added it to our perliminary task, DVD cover and our main task.
