How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
2. Film poster
My film poster is linked to my film as I have the
main characters on their in each others clothes
with shocked facial expressions. I also have a
cartoon cupcake and a candle to represent the
birthday that takes place in the film. As the
background I have a calendar as in the film we
see the main characters crossing out the days on
the calendar.
3. It promotes the birthday aspects of the film as I have
the calendar, cake and the candle. It also promotes
the switch as they are in each other clothes with a
line dividing them.
The title in the film is completely different form the
one in the poster, but the characters have the same
clothes on.
It conveys the genre through the cartoon cupcake
and their facial expressions.
My target audience was 12-18 year olds. This is
because the poster is very bright and light and very
comic.
4. Film review
I think with the Little White Lies magazine any film can
have a review as it is quirky and allows all different
genres with unique artwork. Therefore it did for our film.
It promotes my film as I have the main characters on
there along with the title from poster. I also get to talk
about the film and the narrative which also helps to
promote it.
The review focuses on the characters acting, the
narrative, the character switching lives and pervious work
of the director.
The review reflects both the strengths and weaknesses.
It focuses on the acting of the characters and the cliché
plot, which has been used to many times and how the
director has made it unique.
