2. Theme
Firstly throughout the 3 main products they all have a comedy genre aspect to it and the
comedy theme is apparent, through font use, image used etc.
In the movie poster we used an image of him with a weird and funny face looking out of a
window this would relate to the comedy theme, he looks amazed and shocked and the face he
puts on is unusual which is why it would connote comedy. The font used for the title of the film
‘Monty' in the movie poster is cartoony and is informally written which connotes the genre of the
film. This font is mostly used on the movie poster for this reason, so the theme can be seen .
Similarly the image and the font used in the review also show the comedy theme. For the review
we used a still image of him looking at the security guards. The facial expression on his face
look confused and he looks innocent because he didn’t expect to see the security guards there.
And his facial expression relate back to his weird and physical humour and this also connotes
the comedy theme.
Lastly there is also a comedy theme on the short film by the expressions and behaviour of
Monty the main character and also through other various scenes like when he gets slapped on
the train or when he dances in the day dream. There is also a theme of love in our short film
when he falls in love with the girl whom he meets on the train. And we show this love theme on
the movie poster as well by having a day dream bubble coming out of the main images head
with a hot pink background connoting love and lust. We also portrayed a love theme in the
movie review by having a still image of him having a picnic with the girl whom he met on the
train.

4. House Style
Secondly the house style is also the same throughout our three main products because of the font
and colour schemes that we used are similar in all three products. For example in our movie poster
the colour scheme is orange and black. We used this house style as it connoted a bubbly and comedy
vibe so we decided to use this throughout all of our products. we also used this font in our short film,
when the title of the film is introduced during the first few seconds of the film, we used the same font
and colour scheme. so there is a similar combination of the same style of text and its layout being
played there. however in our review we wanted to make it different and more classy. we wanted to
make the film look professional and for this reason we tried using a more formal font in the review
rather then the cartooned font which we did in the movie poster and short film.
The same colour scheme is
being used in both the
movie poster and the
beginning of our film.

5. Content & Imagery
the content of the three main products is also similar they all consist of the main
character being the main image of the film. because the film is mostly about him
and about the weird things he does we thought he should be the main attraction
so this is why we kept him in the review and poster.
The imagery used is also the same in all three products because we wanted
to use images in our products to be funny and give a short insight on what
the film is about, and that after they look at the two print products they'll
know it's something comedy based so for this reason we chose images that
we thought were most funny in our film. in our movie poster we chose a
image of him looking out the window and in our review we chose a image of
him looking confused and starring at the security guards. this is the
correspondence between both images they both consist of the main
character making a fool out of himself, thus making it more obvious that our
genre is comedy.
6. Promotional acts
The movie poster promotes the video product because firstly the colour scheme
is really bright and would catch the reader’s attention. The main image used is
funny looking and unusual so the audience would want to know what the story is
about. The poster is also laid out professionally and looks neat and tidy so this
makes the film look classier.
our review acts as a promotional artefact because it grabs the reader’s attention
mainly through the main still image used this image is weird looking and the
audience would want know what the film is all about.
