Evaluation Q2 How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? In my film, poster and review there are links and this is important to ensure that the audience have a clear and consistent understanding throughout. Regarding synergy in the film poster and film review I included the film poster in the film review this was to ensure that the reader was clear that it is the same film. Including the film poster also helps to advertise the film as the poster includes the release date. In all three products there was one main image that was used as the iconic photo that the audience would instantly refer to the film. This photo was used as the background for the film poster, it was also used in the film review and was used towards the ending of the film. This photograph was chosen as it includes the three main characters from the film, whereas if I had chosen a photograph with only one character then the audience are less likely to recognise one character. This photograph was chosen because the facial expressions on the characters show happiness however in the poster and film it is shown in black and white which creates juxtaposition, this is effective as it intrigues the viewer as it suggests that there is a hidden meaning behind the photograph. In all three products any text that is used is either black or white, these colours were chosen as they are very distinctive especially because of the backgrounds consisting of either dark or bright colours, no natural colours are used. Again by keeping a consistent colour theme in all three products it helped for the audience to identify the film.

Evaluation Q2How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

In my film, poster and review there are links and this is important to ensure that the audience have a clear and consistent understanding throughout.

Regarding synergy in the film poster and film review I included the film poster in the film review this was to ensure that the reader was clear that it is the same film. Including the film poster also helps to advertise the film as the poster includes the release date. In all three products there was one main image that was used as the iconic photo that the audience would instantly refer to the film. This photo was used as the background for the film poster, it was also used in the film review and was used towards the ending of the film. This photograph was chosen as it includes the three main characters from the film, whereas if I had chosen a photograph with only one character then the audience are less likely to recognise one character. This photograph was chosen because the facial expressions on the characters show happiness however in the poster and film it is shown in black and white which creates juxtaposition, this is effective as it intrigues the viewer as it suggests that there is a hidden meaning behind the photograph.

In all three products any text that is used is either black or white, these colours were chosen as they are very distinctive especially because of the backgrounds consisting of either dark or bright colours, no natural colours are used. Again by keeping a consistent colour theme in all three products it helped for the audience to identify the film.

In both the film and film poster dark and dull colours were used to indicate the drama social realism genre. In the film review a brighter colour green was used as the background, green was chosen because it links with the title of the film ‘Jade’ as Jade is a green gem stone. The colour also appeals to both genders which is the target group for this film. The title of the film appears in the film, poster and review and then it does it is in bold and capital letters, this helps for the audience to identify it. This title was chosen because it’s a simple title meaning that it is more likely to stay in the viewers head.
