DPS progress

when starting my double page spread I opened up two other dsp pages and had them side by side. one was a national magazine dps and the other a regional magazine I tried to use layout from both when creating my page. It is different compared to y flat plan as I preferred to try out some different compositions.

I decided to open up the grid on photoshop to help me line up my pictures and article, when researching I found that articles are mainly written in columns even in regional magazines.
I had to measure my lines up very carefully to make sure everything was presented well.

opening word I copied and pasted parts of may article in there to make sure I had no spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes. Furthermore I opened my article draft from my website and copied some parts over to my magazine to create synergy in my work.





Draft article 
   "It isn’t a film about wanting to hide or run away it’s a film about
   getting out there and seeing what’s beyond the small horizon”
   -Adam Stew.

We have recently watched Escape The Waves and will be having
screening days for this movie at local cinemas, we think that this
 film will do great  why? well let us tell you why. The film has a
great set of directors a great story and a great feel overall, and it’s
 representing Seaburn which is part of  our area. Wemasked Adam
Stew why he chose Seaburn and this is What he said “Me and me
 brother used to go down to that very beach and play in the sand
and sea it is a big part of our childhood. We think that the film will
be successful because of its destination, people will resonate with it
more seeing an area represented positively. The film is about
spreading your wings yes but it is also about remembering where you
came from and where you call home. I think the main actor Megan
 Ward did a fantastic job in the role of Erica March she is a very strong
up and coming actor. We did have a few minor problems with the film
being the male actor Nick Slater who played Ethan, his accent did
seem like it mixed well with the others being he didn’t sound like he
 was from the area a canny let down. We asked Adam Stew the ideas
 and Creativity in Escape The Waves. "SeaBurn beach plays a big role
in the film. If you pay close attention the sea reflects the mood weather
the tide is in or out. The sea is a metaphor of Erica feeling trapped,
if the tide is in we see her at her worst and when its out she is a lot
more confident and energetic. We chose to film at Seaburn as i is a
well known place, It's where we all went as children to play and we
even have aspects of our child hood in this movie. We wanted to
 include some real life problems in this film to help connect to the
audience, some teenagers ages 17-20 feel a bit out on the way into
 adult hood and sometimes feel trapped, we used Erica's dream to can'
t happen because of her disorder and we want to reach
out to those teenagers who also feel trapped and want a way out.
We incorporated proper advice and help lines in this movie as well.
"-Adam Stew"I think it's hard for woman to get into the film industry
not a lot of girls are interested and I think the main reason is lack of
creativity all the recent Hollywood films have many similarities, good
 guys, bad guys, happy ending, unrealistic gun fights, cheesy motives.
 I think our film has no real villain because in life you will find a auntie
March who comes across as mean and uncaring but like, there is
always a reason behind them being that was which doesn't make t
hem necessarily evil"-Pepper Black.

We noticed this film is quite dark not just in themes but in lighting
most lighting used is low key the shadows are prevalent in almost
every scence its night time a lot at the beach its dark. We made a
guess to this might be relating to Erica’s sleeping habits maybe its
always night time for her because she is always sleeping or its the
spiral of darkness they are trapped in unable to see the light. Pepper
Black said she wouldn’t give any hints as they wanted to keep some
things secret or for the fans to figure out,There is also a bunch of
easter eggs in the movie if you can spot the, leave them on our twitter
page but only after screening dates so no spoilders please. We think
Escape The Waves is a great movie and a must see it has gotten a
tone of great reviews and will be airing at Tyne side cinema and
Costumes house. Pepper and Leon will be at the event to take any
questions after the Film is screening on Friday so any die hard P.A.L
fans can ask away, Pepper and Leon are both from up here so please
 diven't be shy. You can access the tickets in the links bellow and get

I have complete changed the article on the second page as i feel like this fit the magazine better, I changed it to a Q&A  after getting inspiration from Sight & Sound magazine. i also moved the layout around as well so add more text and delete back to my sticky not reviews from other people.
