HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF YOUR SHORT FILM, RADIO TRAILER AND

FILM POSTER?

MESSAGE OF THE FILM:• I think that the message that was trying to be conveyed in the

film is shown towards the end in particular and that is that you can’t hide from the consequences of your actions.

• I believe that the film is very effective at showing this message, as the ending portrays the ultimate consequence of the protagonist losing his life. I also feel that the film does a great job at visually showing the audience that you can’t hide from your actions, which is shown in the shot where Martin, the protagonist, is pulled out from under the bed and confronted by the antagonist.

MESSAGE OF MY POSTER:• You can’t hide from the consequences.

• I like my poster and believe that it does a good job of connoting this message, as the audience is looking through the protagonist’s eyes as he is cowering from under the bed with a POV camera shot. Also, within the frame we see the antagonists intimidating feet that are representing the repercussions of the protagonist’s actions.

MESSAGE OF MY MAGAZINE COVER:

FILM POSTER:

UNIQUE SELLING POINT:• I feel that the unique selling point for short film is not only the

effective use of POV camera shots to create tension for the audience, but the plot twist in the end by challenging Propp’s Theory and not having anyone come to the protagonists rescue. This is similar to the film poster, as the POV shot shows no escape for the protagonist as it creates enigma coding for the audience as they will wonder whether the protagonist will survive or if the antagonist will be unconventional and come out on top.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT:• I think that the poster would be quite effective in the real world,

as I have tried to make it as professional as possible and it connotes the themes and messages that are present with in the film. I also believe that the poster is very eye catching and draws audience’s attention to it from the high contrast and the monochromatic filter applied over the top of the image. I also think that the fact that its landscape instead of portrait, adds to its appeal as it is a slightly less conventional way of displaying the poster.

MAGAZINE COVER:

UNIQUE SELLING POINT:• I feel that my magazine cover does not have a unique layout to

just my short film, as the format is completely based on another popular magazine. However, I think that my unique selling point is the face of the actors used within my magazine, as they are recognisable and would catch the eyes of any of their fans.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT:• I feel that the difference between the poster and the magazine

cover is that the poster could be easy to advertise as it could be displayed in an enlarged format, within supermarkets and on bill boards. Whereas, the magazine cover could only be posted within a niche short film magazine that only advertise up and coming short film artists.
