Ancillary Texts in Action

Deciding on a band name

When deciding what my band name would be during the creation process of my ancillary texts, I struggled to create a name that fitted the genre of music and also the overall appearance of the actors/band etc. I then decided to go on a band name generator on Google to help. You chose which genre of music you wanted and then refreshed until you found a name you liked. Neon Kicks stood out to me because I think it has a youthful tone and also is individual and unique. 

Downloading Photoshop

Because of the tight deadline to complete my ancillary texts, I though it would be a good idea to download the free trial of PhotoShop at home on my laptop so that I wouldn't be restricted to when I could edit my images together. Overall the process of downloading PhotoShop took around an hour and a half but it was worth the wait as I was able to complete my ancillary texts in time for the deadline.

Plan for ancillary texts

This is a mind map of all of the original ideas I had for my ancillary texts. In the end I decided to go with a different idea as a result of playing around with the lay out of my album cover and the images etc.

Filming diary (6/3/15)

Friday 6th of March


Filming was successful as I go the majority of the shots filmed that I needed too. There are a couple of shots that I have to re do due to lighting issues which wont be a problem. I am pleased with how my video is turning out as it has the humourous tone I was aiming for. I need to shoot some shots of Kate and Jack outside which wont take long so I feel I am on track.
