2) Plan the images you will use for the front cover - use CLAMPS. One main image and two smaller images required to meet the minimum content in the brief.
costume - for the main cover image the protagonist will be wearing a tracksuit-typical British stereotype
for cover images both charters will be dressed casually
Lighting-the main cover image will have natural high key lighting
Actors- will be zak playing the character Jordan the main protagonist which is going to have a distraught look on his face or holding up cash (still deciding between the 2 depending on which picture turns out better and the cover images is going to have one Milly upset that she has been eliminated and Tia with a confused look on her face
Makeup- causal
Props-money for the main cover as the show is money based
Setting-a staircase or brick wall that Jordan will be sitting on builds typical British convention
3) Plan the content for your inside page feature:
- Subject of feature: introduction to money motivated
- Headline:Get to know money motivated
- Subheading:get some insight from the actors
- Main image: the main characters posting together
- Smaller images (need minimum of four across the three pages)
-images of other 2 characters getting interviewed
4) Write the copy (words) you will use for the inside page feature - headline, subheading, article text.
the first page is going to be about 'getting to know' the show,where i will write about the plot and why the show was created (the purpose), the messages that the show is trying to get across
the second half will be a 2 separate interviews:
-the main protagonist (Jordan)
- What sort of person is going to love this show?
- What’s challenging about bringing this script to life?
- Why did you want to be involved in this production?
- What do you love about this character?
- Who’s the funniest person in the cast in real life?
- Who should not come see this show?
- What do you hate about this character?
- What’s the biggest challenge about taking on this role?
- What makes a good scene partner?
- Who in the show is most like their character?
5) Plan the social media content you will include in your print work to create opportunities for digital convergence e.g. hashtags, social media details etc.
6) Research and select the font or typography you will use for your print work. This is a critical element of your print work - the brief requires a consistent house style running through all of your pages.
