1. 2) How effective is the
combination of your main product
and ancillary task?

2. My Ancillary Tasks
Review Poster
When I was creating my poster and my review, I struggled a little bit in keeping the look of it
professional yet simple. As I experimented I came across a YouTube clip which helped me
even more because it showed me steps that I should take in order for there to be no
mistakes.

3. Ancillary Task Objective
• The aim of the ancillary task was to create a poster
and review that promotes our film using aesthetic
and textual platforms.
• I wanted to ensure that by creating an effective
poster and review that my target audience would
be lured in to watch our film. I wanted my poster
and review to appeal to them instantly.
• In order for me to achieve that goal, I had to use a
Adobe software, Photoshop, with which I could
create elegant and professional review and
posters.

4. Images Used - Poster
• I had been inspired by an animated
image similar to the one on my poster.
• I had asked my actress Amy to stand in
this position as if she were writing with
her back against the wall.
• The positioning of the image illustrates
her confusion because she is ‘writing’
points that will impact her life and this
represents her feelings which the
audience will take note of.
• I used this image because it connotes
to the audience that the film will be
about a teenager who is in education.
The uniform also signifies this.
• I knew that this image would raise
enigmas in the audiences mind of what
else it could represent about the film
we’ve produced.
• I used this image also to give the
audience anticipation of the genre and
style the film will be.

5. Images Used - Review
• I used this image because it reflects
the title of the film. ‘Goodbye High
School’.
• That she is ready to say ‘goodbye’ to
her school after being there for 7 years
of her academic life.
• Another reason why I used this image
because it somewhat shows her
innocence
• The fact that the actress is staring at
the school sign signifies her emotions
for leaving the school. It shows the
start of her new journey – University.
• The dullness of the image and the
weather also illustrates and reflects the
mood that actress is in.
• Because she is the central character of
our film, I decided to put her on the
image. And the film is based on her life
and what it entails.

6. Fonts Used - Poster
• The font I used for the title of the poster was Copper STD. The reason why I used it was
because it is big and bold and is eye catching. Against a black background, the red title stands
out and will make the viewer instantly look at the title once they see the poster. This meant that
they will realise what the film is going to entail because the bold colour emphasises it.
• This font has been used in many other areas of the poster for texts such as the tagline and
cinema release date.
• A similar font called Copperplate gothic bold has been used too, on the actors names and the
web addresses. It is used to emphasise the remainder of the information the viewer needs to
know for a better interest on the film.
• This font I used it called Blackadder ITC (italic). The reason why I
used this font was to emphasise the narrative of the film which is
school life. This font looks like a handwriting font and so relates to the
concept.
• Furthermore, these specific words are meant to look like they’ve
been drawn on by chalk again reiterating the idea of what the film is
about.
• All these fonts have been used to relate to the films narrative, to give
the viewer a clear understanding and interest on the film.

7. Fonts Used – Poster (continued)
• I used the font Eurostile for the credits
because it is compact and eye catching. I
used the colour white for the information on
the credit to stand out. Also to match with
the colour scheme throughout the poster.
• I used a font that would stand out here,
mainly because it was a light looking font
and with the use of Cap locks on the font, it
emphasises the details the viewer may
need or require.

Times Roman. Firstly I used
this because it is a common
font that is used by many
people.
Secondly, I used this font
because it differentiates the

opinion.

9. Colour Scheme
• I used both dark and light colours in both my poster and review. I used
different colour backgrounds too. The reason being that the reader
understands that although the film is a comical one, it entails little negative
aspects. The red colour on the poster was mainly used to give a bold and
eye catching effect.

10. Web Address
• I used these two web addresses for the audience to look at and add their opinion of
the film.
• Also by receiving the feedback I am able to take critical action for further productions.
• Furthermore, these websites can also provide the audience with more information
about the film made.
• The Facebook link was mainly put up for the audience to like our update posts and
comment on them.
