Sound had a big impact in the film industry. By adding sound it made the film feel more real you didn't have the text that would come up on your screen explaining what was happening, it also allowed you to hear the actors. By adding sound you are able to understand and get more into the film. The first time sound was used in a film was in 1923 in Paris.
When sound was first added one of there main problems was synchronisation as the picture and sound were recored and played back though different devices. In modern day cinema you don't have this problem. You are able to have all of the cameras and microphones in perfect synchronisation.
In modern cinema they use of foley sounds has become a high paying job as it is a very important part of making a film. When creating foley sounds you have to be very creative and you have to think about each shot and what sort of sounds are going to be in there. You cant just think about one object you have to think about the whole shot.

Constructing a Scene
For this scene from Reservoir Dog. You have a mix of different camera angles. For my first screen shot. You have a close-up. This angle works well here because you can see the pain and emotion on the actors face.
For the second screen shot I chose the over the shoulder angle. With this part of the scene this camera angle works really well because it gives you the view from the actors perspective.
Towards the end of the scene there more wide angles camera angles. This is shown in my third
screen shot. This camera angle has also been shot from the ground by doing this gives the scene a different feeling. You don't normally see a wide angle shot from the floor.
For my final screen shot of the scene is right at the end. Again they have used a wide camera angle. For this part it works really well because you are able to see all of the characters and what has happened to them.

Magazine Layout
For this front cover if GQ the are focusing this issue around Channing Tatum. With GQ they always use a big image of what ever there main story is. By doing this when you first see the front cover you have an idea of who they are focusing on. GQ for this front cover GQ decided not to use a lot of different colours, they just stuck to three. they used yellow and grey for there logo and some of the text they also used black for the other bits of text. i think they choose to use three colours because it looks more smarts and perferdshional, by doing this it works really well with the photo as Channing Tatum is wearing a suit. By using such a big picture it means they don't have to fill the rest of the cover lots of text or other photos. GQ use big and bold text for there front cover. This draws the buyers attention also it makes it easy to see what the main articles are in this issue.
When it it comes to the inside of the magazine its still bold and interesting even if there is a lot of text. For this two page spread about Jay-Z. For the first page they filled the page with a photo of him. This will draw your attention. Again they have used the same colours across the two pages this makes the look smart and it works with the stile of GQ. When it comes to the main article they still tray make it interesting. They placed a big J in the middle of the page. They also use over sized letters at the begging of each paragraph.

Leading
Leading is the way you edit the gape between two lines of text. Here are three examples of Leading.
The first piece of text is what the standard font is.
For the second piece of text I used Leading to make the gap closer.
For the third piece of text I used Leading to make the gap bigger.

Type Familys
This is the type family of 'Minion Pro' this type family has 10 different styles. This type family has a lot of Italic types in it. Also all of the Serif's.
Serif and Sans-Serif
Serif and Sans-Serif are the extra strokes you get at the end of character in some fonts. Serif's does have the extra stroke to the character. A Sans-Serif(Sans) is what you would say if there was no extra stroke at the end of each character.
In the image below I have created a diagram showing this. The first F is a example of Sans-Serif, the second F is a example of Serif. For the third F I have highlighted the parts of the character that makes it Serif.
