Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

Fonts:
The font for my film poster title is the same one that I have used on my magazine to advertise my film I have done this so it is recognizable. I have used the same font throughout my magazine for my Masthead, Tagline and the Coverlines as well as on my poster for the release date. This keeps continuity between the two of them.

Images:
The image on my poster is of the council flats where we filmed some of our trailer. The image on my magazine is of one of the main characters who is a drug dealer in our trailer. This was also taken in the area where we filmed our trailer. Our trailer was filmed in Haughton Green and the flats included are called High Rise Flats which you can see in the trailer numerous times so this is why I thought to use an image of them on my poster as it sets the scene before the audience gets to watch it.

Character Representation:
They are all portrayed as bad as they are drug dealers fighting for the same 'turf'. This is also seen through hoodies which are worn throughout and the main character on my magazine is also wearing one for the picture.

Actor:
One of the actors in our trailer also features on my magazine to keep continuity and so my audience gets a feel for the main story which is included in my magazine.

Lighting:
Originally we were going to have our trailer low key lighting, However that changed when we did some more filming and the only time everyone was available was in the day. I don't think that having high key lighting effects the trailer too much as it just shows that this sort of thing goes on in the daytime as well as at night.

My Magazine has a high key lighting picture just like in the film to show the continuity between the two and to make it more recognizable.

On my Poster I have used a low key lighting picture as it portrays the film as being 'dark' in the sense of the activities involved and not the lighting.
