2. Dementia Leaflet
• Our short film has a close up shot of a
Dementia Leaflet.
• As a group we decided to create the prop
using Photoshop and Microsoft Publisher.
• The most effective way in creating this prop
was researching into the different styles and
conventions of Dementia leaflets.

4. The Dementia leaflet
• As a group we decided to use the format and
conventions of this NHS dementia leaflet. This is
because it followed a consistent house style which
made it look professional and a reliable source for
information. It also included relative support
information and an image which would make the
product as a whole appeal enticing and attractive.
By replicating the help leaflet we believed that it
would convey a sense of realism in our film as the
inclusion of the prop informs the audience of
realistic ways people who are affected by
dementia can deal or cope with the disease.
6. Constructing the Dementia leaflet
• The house style of our leaflet was the colour light blue like our
model leaflet above, we found this colour fitting as it illustrated a
sense of neutrality and calmness. This is because dementia can be a
stressful situation, thus if the authority is calm the patient is more
likely to be. Additionally, it represented the NHS colour and logo
which contributed to the realism we wanted to include in our short
film. In relation to the dementia leaflet on the previous slides, we
also choose to present an elderly man and a younger aged woman
on the front cover which would signify a carer with a patient
suffering from dementia. This is because we believed that this was a
crucial component within our leaflet as it mirrored the situation of
our characters. Therefore, our target audience would make a direct
connection which would consume and heighten their interest in our
short film.
7. The process of constructing our
dementia leaflet.
• To produce our dementia leaflet we used the
software Photoshop. We used our skills from
our foundation productions which helped us
create a professional leaflet.
• By using the software Photoshop we
enhanced our Photoshop skills.
