update

now both my poster and front cover have been completed, and our trailer is on youtube our final task is to complete the evaluation.
To complete  the evaluation I have to complete and answer the following four questions:
1. In what way doesyour media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluatuion stages?

Photoshoot and Photos

On the day of our photoshoot we did a lot of planning. We had to close off the resources area in the English block as this was going to be where we were shooting at lunch time.
In the morning, Stevie, Stephen and myself went off to buy props to create a party feel for our cast while we photographed them. We bought party hats and balloons and then filled one of the balloons with helium so someone could hold it on a piece of string. Between the three of us we blew up the balloons and asked Zak, Brandon, Ben, Karl, Nia, Paige and myself to get into costume.
During the lunch time we took lots of photos of Zak and Brandon as they were unable to stay after school. We took over a thousand photos of one of the casts cameras, therefore we had a great variety of photos to choose from. Below are just a few of the thousand photos we ended up taking!

It was a very successful day and left us with some great material to create the best posters and front covers ever.

Poster

As our Boys' Village trailer follows a British grungy skins feel, we felt the best poster to base our own poster on was a skins poster.

The first skins poster features three main character girls from the 3rd and 4th series, although this is not an official poster the way they have masked an image onto the text was really inspiring to put in my own poster.

The second skins poster then features another three main characters, both male and female, from the 1st and 2nd series, this is an official poster and I like the way they are looking at the camera and breaking the 4th wall, including the audience.
