Refining my blog posts into a concise, professional document was good practice for inDesign skills and layout of ideas. Starting with a rough table of contents, I was able to refine the flow of the document and make sure it is easily navigable and eye catching for hypothetical studios.
- dividing page into 3's helped with layout of photos and text
- creating concise bodies of text to make the story appealing helped in my realisation of important themes (which ones to highlight and put in the background) - For example, it was extremely important to involve Michel Chion. Despite not being a research document, audiovisual techniques are fundamental to the look and themes of the film. Mentioning Utopia and Dystopia was also important for the theme/genre of the film. On the other hand, the themes of Government misconduct are not directly discussed in the pitch, but hopefully noticeable through the storyline and ethics sections.
- General eye catching nature had to be thought of. Initially the storyline was only demonstrated through a 2 page treatment. I was advised to include a short synopsis before this. As a result, people can hopefully spot themes which are of interest quicker and maintain their attention and interest.
- Accompanying imagery for each section was important to select. I made sure all sources were Harvard Referenced after initially realising that there were a few un-cited items in the document. I tried to ensure that each image had a purpose and served to widen knowledge and visually represent the film
- Small details such as readability of font and colour, and consistent branding techniques were also considered. As we learn more about colour theory in the coming trimester, the pallet may change. They will be similar warm and cold tones, but may become more complimentary.
-Initially, the character turnarounds didn't feature any information on the individuals. I have rectified this by simply adding bullet pointed key words. From these, the characters and their intentions should be realised.
-The ethics and sustainability section was initially something I was at first considering in the background of the storytelling. However, upon thinking about it more, I am considering more ways of incorporating the themes I mention. Involving inclusivity in the societal and musical aspects of life is of extreme importance when making a commentary on the arts scene of this generation. Sustainability-wise, the more I read about the state suppressing the arts, the more I am seeing it's influence (contrary to the stock the Government puts into it) to create goals of sustainability. Creative approaches should have ample responsibility in promoting sustainable messages, both by boosting sustainable imagery and highlighting the insufficient actions taken by Governments and individuals. As I read and digest more information on this topic, I'm hoping it feeds into altering the narrative and imagery of the film.
