3. Creating a sense of identity
• One way which I feel has been good
for the combination of the products is
the creation of an identity for the film. I
did this by using a repeat image
across all of the products with the
banana. The prop does play a big part
in the film and this has been beneficial
as the audience notice this is what I
was using this for.
• The same can be said for the
sunglasses which were used in the
film and the poster are also part of this
identity which have used.

4. Creating a sense of identity
 Also with this I have tried to create this with the name of
the film as I have used it across all of the products with
the poster, review and film it is obvious to use the name
but also the music at the end of the short film I have
used a cover of the song save the world. This was a
conscience choice as it was used because of the lyrics
and the mood of the song.
 Also the involvement of the main character across all of
the product has been used across all three of the
products and has been done to create the identity these
combine together to work with one another and sell the
short film to the audience.

5. The poster
 The poster itself mirrors a key
part of the plotline with the two
halves of the character and I
have done this to give the
audience a question when they
see the poster. I have done this
to link and combine the poster
straight to the story and this is
what is done in real media texts.

6. The review
 The review uses a lot of information on the film as
it should and the photograph which has been
used is gives the audience something to think
about when they see it. This was chosen because
of the stance of the character and the prop which
he has.
 The look closer section is an
incite into the making of the
film and this is something
which can sell the film
because it explains the music
and why it was chosen. This
is a good combination of the
product and why some of the
parts of the film were done.

7. Production company
 The use of the production
company is also something
which is there to combine them
together as the company is
used across two of the three
parts as this is conventionally
used as it allows the audience
to search the company to see
whether there are other films by
the same company.

8. Conclusion
 Overall I feel that all of the products really do work
as a combination. They all offer a lot towards the
creation of the text and this has been done from the
start of the process. All of the product work well
together because of the clear sense synergy in
which is needed for any media text as the products
do clearly use a number of combinations and links
to create a whole package for the film itself.
