The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a main product and ancillary texts. It describes the layout, positioning, and tools used to create a film review poster and film review. Images were chosen that conveyed the protagonist's emotions of being upset, fed up, and "on the edge". Dark colors like greys and blacks were used for the color scheme to emphasize the negative storyline, with highlights of white and red. Various fonts were selected and styled for titles, remarks, and credits based on boldness, clarity, and professionalism. Web addresses were included at the bottom of the poster for viewers to visit and engage with the production online.
2. My Ancillary Tasks
When creating my poster and film review, I played around with both to see what
layout I preferred and how I wanted everything positioned. Using YouTube also
helped me to do certain things on the ancillary tasks.
3. Images used
I chose to use this image in my film review because it connotes our main
characters emotion. The image shows our protagonist putting her hands on her
head whilst holding her legs, her positioning in this photo connotes how upset and
fed up she is with the bullying. The image can also show how she’s ‘on the edge’
which then leads into our film as at the end she over doses on drugs. The reason
for only putting our protagonist on our film review was because we see her
throughout the film and also because the film focuses mostly on her and her life of
bullying throughout.
4. Images used
I chose to use this image in my poster because it yet again connotes the
protagonist emotion. The image shows our protagonist holding her head in her
hands, the use of this image shows our main characters feelings, with her eyes
being closed it shows to our audience how she’s fed up and emotional. The
use of this image also gives the viewes a clue on what the movie is about and
also what genre it is. Yet again putting only our protagonist on my poster shows
how the film mainly concentrates on her.
5. Fonts used
The fonts used on my main title production was ‘Impact’, the reason for
using Impact was because its large and bold. The use of the font will mean
it will stick out behind any other element on the poster. The font colour used
is white which means it stands out behind the dark background, on the title I
also used a duplicate of ‘edge’. On the duplicate I also put a filter on the text
which blurs it; the blur used was ‘box blur’, the filter used on the duplicate of
the text makes it look as if it is on the ‘edge’ and is hanging of the edge.
The font used on these remarks was ‘Tamil MN’, I yet again used a blur
filter on the text so it looks like these remarks are being shouted at her.
The font colour used is also white so it stands out behind the background,
I’ve also used upper case to emphasize the words, adding an exclamation
mark was to emphasize the words being shouted.
6. Fonts used
The font used in this part of my
film review is ‘Impact’. The
reason for using Impact was
because it stands out and is
bold.
The font used here was
‘Britannic Bold’ my reason for
using this font was because
its bold which means its easily
seen and captures the
viewers eye first. Using a
black font colour behind a
white background yet again
makes it stand out due to the The font used in this part of my
contrast between light and film review was ‘Arial’, my
dark.
reason for using Arial is
because it’s a clear font which
will make it easy for viewers to
read it. The font is simple and
has a professional look to it.
7. Fonts used
The font used in my credit was ---, my reason
for using this font was because even though
there is a lot of text, the font still makes it look
spacious and easy enough to read.
The font used in my credit was ---, my
reason for using this font was because it
goes well with my poster, its also in
upper case which makes it stand out.
8. Colour Scheme
The colour scheme used on both my ancillary tasks are dark colours,
these being greys and blacks. The reason for using dark colours is
because our production is a negative storyline which means the colours
emphasizes this. Over the dark colours I've also use white and reds, the
reason for using these colours is so its highlighted behind the dark
background.
9. Web Address
These are the two web addresses used at the bottom of my poster. My reason for putting
these web addresses is for the viewers so they can visit the websites, like the page and put
any comments that link to the production.
