The document discusses how the creator of a short horror film used and challenged conventions of the genre in their film. They began by researching conventions like starting with equilibrium that is disrupted, using isolated woodland settings, portraying sympathetic protagonists and mysterious antagonists. While most horror films use low lighting, the creator challenged this by basing the film more in daylight. Screenshots compare scenes and characters to established horror films. The creator also compared their film poster and review to real examples, finding similarities in conventions like taglines, lighting and inclusion of key information. Further, they placed their mock magazine cover and review in real-world contexts to test if they seemed authentic.
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a short film with ancillary tasks of a film poster and film review.

2. The brief of our assignment
The main objective for our coursework was to
create a 5 minute long film.
After this was completed, we then had an
ancillary task to complete which consisted of
creating a film review and a film poster to
promote our film.
3. What was the objective of our
ancillary task?
The main goal of our ancillary task was to promote our
film using both visual and text platforms, in the forms of
a film review and a film poster.
I tried to ensure that my target audience would want to
watch my film based on both the review and poster.
My main goal was to present the final film in a high
standard by using creativity through the use of
Photoshop, to promote my film so my target audience
would want to watch it just based on what they had seen
through my poster and review.

The other font I used within my poster
was called [insert font here]. I decided to
use this font as it is to the point, clear and
easy to read, which is like the plot of this
film, as it is easy to follow and
understand. The font is also BOLD in
some areas of the poster, this was to
signify to the audience who the main
characters were and also to highlight the
key information on the poster, such as the

10. How did my film review explore the
final product?
I decided to keep the layout of my film review as simple and
straight forward as possible, to ensure that the review would be
effective and easy to follow. I opted for a red, white, and black
colour scheme for my poster, which is a convention of a rom-
com, as the red’s connote love and romance. The tag line for
the review gives away to the audience that the protagonist
Bobby is unlucky in some sort of way however, we don’t know
how this is which is why I decided to use this tag line as it gives
away some information without giving the whole plot away to
the reader, which would persuade them more to watch it as
they wasn’t to find out why Bobby is ‘the most unluckiest
guy, ever’.
The poster emphasises twice that the film is short, with the
ending statement being ‘and at only 5 minutes long, who
wouldn’t give it a watch?’, and also the verdict part of the review
also again emphasises that the film is short with the statement
‘a short, but incredibly sweet film’. Emphasising twice the length
of the film was something I really wanted to incorporate within
my poster, as it would make the audience want to watch it even
more as it is only short, but also at the same time very
enjoyable, which is why it was awarded 5 stars.
Another convention of a film review I also decided to follow was
the large bold font, in the middle of the review highlighting the
best parts of the film ‘this comical film is an instant classic’. I got

Throughout both ancillary tasks, I
decided to use the colours red,
white and black.

that it stood out and was clear and so
the audience could quickly scan the
poster and review, and see the most
important pieces of information rather

text, and as dark colours aren’t
associated with rom-coms I decided to
use a light colour to meet the
conventions of a romantic comedy.
12. Background
I opted to use a simple plain background
for my poster, using the gradient tool on
Photoshop CS5 which faded from black to
grey.
Black and grey aren’t a typical colour
associated with the rom-com genre, more
the horror/thriller genre, however, I felt
black and grey are simple colours and as
the central pictures are quite large in size,
so I decided a simple background would
look more effective and simple, as it would
allow the audience to focus more on the
image of the characters instead of the
background.
13. Logos and websites
While researching current film posters, I found that somewhere within the poster
(mostly at the bottom), all the film posters provided a web address of the production
company, which meant that the audience could type the web address into the internet
and be directed to the films website, which would provide further information about the
film. As a convention of a typical film poster, I decided to add ‘LOL Productions’ web
address so our viewers could find out more information about our film if they wished
to. A web address is very important as digital technology is increasing so people tend
to find out more information via new digital technology, rather than ‘old’ technology
such as newspapers.
I also added the social networking sites Twitter and
Facebook logos onto the poster, so viewers could
find out more information via social networking sites
if they wished to. Social networking sites are a very
popular platform to promote films, and networking
sites are very popular and widely used by
thousands of people each day, so it is an easy way
to promote a film to a mass audience.
14. Summary
Overall, I feel that the combination of both my
film review and poster is very effective, as both
tasks link to the other in terms of either colour
scheme, images and backgrounds.
