These designs are the rough sketches of my final flat plas for my ancillary products. They evidence the thought process and planning that took place, before my ideas came to life.

Using Final Cut- Jake
Using Final CutI used many tools and effects while using final cut.
These include:
The Razor Tool:
During the editing of our video in final cut I used the razor tool to cut the clips smaller if they needed to be after I had set in and out points. This is simply a tool that you hover over where you want to cut it and right click. You can then move or remove what clips you like.
Three Way Colour Wheel:
Using the three way colour wheel you can add different shades of colour to the clip to edit it. You can change the overall shade from blues toyellows.
Black and White:
The black and white feature worked perfectly on the narrative part of my video.
Alpha Adjusts:
The alpha adjust pretty much changes the transparency of the clip so you can overlay it over another clip.
ProcAmp:
This allows you to change; The brightness, the contrast, the hue and the saturation. This can be useful if you have a clip that hasn't necessarily been filmed very well.
Circle:
Circle allows you to darken the corners of the video or anywhere that you want because you can change the size of the "circle".
Opacity:
The opacity once again is a form of changing the transparency and I used it to fade in the title that I created and fade it out again.
Brightness and Contrast:This is different and easier to use than procAmp so I used it where I could.
Slide Tool:
The slide tool can be used to drag around the clips you have in your timeline.

Deciding Our Final Digipack and Magazine Advert
When deciding our final pieces for the Ancillary task, me and Jake struggled to decide and agree between us what our final pieces should be. As we both created designs for the Magazine advert and the Digipack we had to then pick and choose between the designs. This left us with a range of options;
- To get our target audience to vote between our two designs of choice
- Seeking advice from our Teacher
- Discussing between ourselves the best suited designs and evaluating them
- Using all four designs to create two posters and two Digipack, one being a genral album and the second being limited addition
- Working individually for this part of the project
As a pair we decided to work seperately for this part of our project. As we had both put in the time and effort to produce a wide range of designs, it was a positive thing that we were spoilt for choice. The designs below are Jakes final Digipak and magazine advert.

Magazine Advert design 2

Evidence of Filming
In order to evidence Jake and myself on the day of the shoot for our music video, I have listed some of the imagery from the main day of filming showing our co-operation and how we worked as a team.
Magazine Advert Design 1
For my first advert design I decided to go for a simplistic approach in which I was hoping would still be powerful and effective. From previously seeing the "Kings of Leon" advert I was inspired to split the 4 members of the band into quarters.
