2. I think that the combination of our main product and the accompanying
tasks was done quite well. This is because we managed to make sure
we’re using the same font across all of our media products as well as
the same colour schemes, both of which help create a brand of our film
‘Vanity’.
When it came to the accompanying tasks we also made sure to have
the same types of images and character shown across both to reiterate
our film and make it familiar and recognisable to our target audiences.

3. Colour Schemes
Throughout our three products, we made sure
to use the same colour scheme that we
established in the research and planning
stages. These colours being quite warm
toned: reds, oranges, blues and yellows.
These colours can be seen in our trailer as
well as our magazine and poster work.

4. Colour Schemes
By using the same colours and shades
throughout these three piece of work, we are
able to create a more professional piece of work
and create more of a brand for our film. This is
because this convention connects the media
texts even when they are viewed separately.
This type of convention is seen in other films of
our genre like Her – we can see that the same
colour scheme on the poster is also used
throughout the film and trailer itself.

5. Title/Fonts
FILM POSTER
FILM MAGAZINE
FILM TRAILER
The title of the film is included in all promotional
material. This means that all materials are
linked together and people will be able to link
the three together themselves.
For the title of our film, we used the same font
and font size across our three tasks/products.
By doing this, we’re creating a brand for our
film as people will be able to recognise that it’s
the same film. Also, by each time have some
sort of line under the title, it manages to frame
the title in all three products.
One thing to note would be how in the film
trailer, we failed to notice that we didn’t bold the
title like we did on the magazine and poster.
This slightly separates the three products from
each other and it would’ve been better if we
had noticed this difference and made sure that
it was the same on all three products.

6. Fonts
FILM POSTER
FILM TRAILER
Here we can see that this convention is in other
films of our genre such as Love, Rosie. They
use the same font in their poster and trailer to
create a brand for their film.

7. Imagery
We made sure that George would be
the only person on the magazine cover
and poster in order to establish that he’s
the main character and we also gave
him the most screen time in the trailer.
This also helps represent that the plot
of the film focuses on George’s
character Zac.
We also decided to use the same photo
effect on our magazine cover as our
poster. The reason for this being that
we felt that using this same effect would
help link the two products together
further.
