ancillary task #2

-
The second ancillary task was to create a magazine review page for our own short film. To begin, I researched into the codes and conventions which then I could apply to analysis and my own construction of the product.

Narrative is about a tale, a story, recital or facts. It's the way in which a story is told in both fictional and non-fictional media texts. Narrative has no right or wrong way and it can always be challenged. Narrative story refers to events you can see and those that are inferred. Voices of narrative can vary and the intention of narrative can be different for different stories. Their are multiple key theorists that have explored narrative.

The editing software I have decided to use to edit my short film is Adobe premiere pro. I am already familiar with other adobe products such as photoshop and will also be using them throughout the process of creating my ancillary tasks therefore believed I would be most confident with the layout and overall software adobe provided. Adobe premiere pro is also free for a certain period in terms of download meaning that no money is needed in order to use a decent software to edit my film I realised through creating my AS into A2 trailer and through research, there are other editing software options available for me to use for my project, however most other softwares cost quite a lot of money or are not up to standard compared to my chosen software. For example, IMovie was used for my AS into A2 trailer which did not offer enough options or flexibility that I feel I need for my short film. I decided to put together a mix of pros and cons about Adobe premiere pro: Pros: Offers hel...
