Evaluation Question 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.

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.

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.

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.

Fonts used

The font used in this part of my film review was ‘Arial’, my 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.

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 contrast between light and dark.

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.

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.

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.
