Magazine cover

Maintaining the consistency of all the main products was an important aspect during the production stages of the

task. For example the film and poster created both refer back to the concept of the trailer created reminding the

audience of its hard-hitting story line, this is achieved through the images used and the texts included.

Furthermore this improved the effectiveness of the products as they all related to each other and were easily

recognisable due to the similar theme used.

Colours: The white background symbolises, the

dreams and hopes that the protagonist has. This is

likewise with the scene depicted at the start of the

trailer in which it is very bright, which in effect

forebodes that something good is going to happen

despite the characters state of disequilibrium.

Image : The protagonists is standing away from the crowd into the distance suggesting that he is alone and

separated from society. He is also looking up which have conations of dreams, hope, aspirations. This is also

depicted in the beginning scene where he is also alone and looking up above the sea. Furthermore emphasising

the emotional and moving side of the film as well as the protagonists journey to finding happiness and freedom in

himself.

Text: the text written above the title “inspired by a true story” emphasises the verisimilitude created in the story and suggests

to the audience that the film is centred around social realism. Thus allowing the audience to identify the films genre as being

drama .

Costume: The

protagonist is

also depicted

in the same

clothes

featured in the

trailer which

references his

state of

disequilibrium

being

homeless .

Image: Unlike the poster created the

protagonists is looking directly at the

audience. This suggests to the

audience that the film is based

around the characters

life, establishing him as the

protagonists in the film.

Colour: the background colour white

along with the film title and

subheading, this is a scheme maintained

in both the ancillary products . The white

symbolises the protagonists dreams and

hopes, which is a constant theme

portrayed in the film trailer.

Text: The subheading

below the title further

emphasises the hard-

hitting story of the film.

The words “life changing”

references the characters

development in the film

trailer, from a homeless

person to one who

becomes successful.

The sky line text also

makes the audience

aware of the film genre,

drama.

Costume: The character is depicted wearing casual wear, which further supports the films genre drama as well as the

verisimilitude created in the film. This also suggest to the audience that the film will be based around social realism as

he is depicted as an ordinary teenage boy.

Both my ancillary products differ from one another, however they still relate to the main product.

This was purposely done in order to attract the audience to each of the products made rather then

have them similar to each other. In all the products created the story line and genre is consistent

allowing the audience to identify them.

Thus suggesting the effectiveness of the combination between the main product and the ancillary

product created. However in order to improve this effectiveness I could have used particular

scenes from the trailer in my ancillary products to draw the audience to the image. Another way I

could have improved this was by maintaining a colour scheme or typeface used in my film trailer.

This would have maintained the consistency of the ancillary products as well as allow them to

suite one another effectively.
