Assignment Brief

·         The Development (history) of video editing, from the start of cinema to modern NLE editing systems

·         The purposes of editing: how we create pace and engage the viewer through editing

·         The conventions of editing: continuity, jump cuts, the 180 degree rule, dissolves (uses of), shot-reverse-shot, cutting to a sound-track

A critical assessment of these topics would include an understanding not just of what the history of editing is, but also how the develop editing has affected the work of modern film makers eg. A understanding of how jump cuts were developed and how they are used today. Examples of historical use and present days use would also be required. Students should also consider how their knowledge of the history of editing has influenced their own editing.

Font -Tekton Pro, bold. (A serif, gothic font is what I used for the poster)

Serif - In typography, a serif  is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. 

Sans Serif - This is a font that doesn't contain any Serif's.

Roman -It is the thick and thin parts of a letter in text.

Gothic - It is how thick the font of a word/text is.

For the font, I wanted a style that represented chalk on a chalkboard, or like it was something someone had handwritten. The font Tekton pro fit this style, and fits well with the theme of the poster. It is a cursive style font, making it look like someone has written it out, which was the effect I wanted for the poster.

All the images used on the poster, I sourced from Google images. Each of the images is similar in style, and fits in with the poster and what it is trying to represent. I chose the images, because they look like chalk drawings of different transportation types, which was what I wanted to include on the poster. Before using them, I made sure there was no copyright issues with the images.
I cropped all of the images down to particular size, making sure each one of them was the same size in the end, before adding them to the poster. By doing this, they would all come out one size when printed. I also cropped out any unneeded parts of the image. For example, any text that came attached to the image. I didn't add any effects to the image, apart from trying to blend them in with the background, so that it all went together as one.

                                                                    This is a screenshot of the poster. It shows everything that I have included in the poster. It shows I include the Local Motion logo, and that I have cropped and resized it like the other images, so that it comes out as one certain size when printed. It also shows the type of text I used, and how i made it fit in with the theme of the poster.
