Transcript of Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and the

ancillary tasks?Will Eyre

Text design We used the same title design in our poster and magazine using a bold red font

with a smudge on the “Dirty”

We got this idea of using the same font for the title from inception, who used very similar titles on their poster and magazine cover We decided to use red and black as the dominant colours for our products as they connote the idea of death and trouble, which is what our film is about, in essence. They appear in all our products and help to create the brand identity

For the magazine we used images of the three main characters, these are the same characters that appear in the film, this creates the idea that these characters are the main characters of the film.

Characters

For the poster we decided to be slightly more dramatic, it crosses over with the end of our trailer nicely, as one of the characters shouts get down, after a gun goes off, this links these two products together quite well as the gun is pointing down, and looks threatening, the “get down” shouted at the end puts a picture to that phrase.

Target audienceThe target audience for my film was people aged 16+ and most probably men.

It think the products show off this quite well as they all have quite dark colours, which seem more typical of male orientated films, as all three products have these same themes running through them, it helps to really combine all of the products.

As you can see for the poster of snatch it has a dark colour scheme and looks like it is trying to appeal to the male audience, just like my film.

Mise en scene In the poster a gun is the main focus, and this is quite appropriate for a bank

robbery, and in the magazine there are the three men in the balaclavas which is again appropriate for a bank robbery.

Both of the items are black but that makes them blend in well with the background which shows the darker themes of the film.
