Ancillary Task Drafts

Planning - Print-based Texts:
POSTER:



Pictured above is our ancillary task draft of the poster for our film. We intend for our poster to adhere to the conventions of mainstream posters, which will help to make our poster seem all the more authentic and credible. We will do this by using:

• colours, such as red and black
• a font style, which we intend will appear to be very raw and edgy, but at the same time unique and eye-catching
• an image very similar to one seen in our film of Dammy staring down at the wallet, with the killer looming behind him, very predatory-like
• a tagline/slogan: Always look back... which will help to create a sense of surrealism, threat, mystery and intrigue, themes which are prevalent in our film and key to our overall brand identity.
• credit lists
• presention of a release date

MAGAZINE ARTICLE:



Pictured above is our ancillary task draft of the magazine for our film. We intend for our magazine article to adhere to the conventions of mainstream posters, through the use of:

• language featured in the article to be light-hearted yet direct and pertinent
• main images, such as the opening image of the bloody red hands and Dammy staring in shock at the bloody wallet. These are not arbitrary or meaningless, but are very relevant to the content of the film and are there to illustrate the points presented within the article and to attract the readers towards seeing the film
• key quotes from the article, including director's quotes which illustrate a key/significant point within the article about the film and offer our audience a insight into our conceptual influences and own thoughts and feelings behind this film
• ratings, which help to illustrate in shorthand how the film has been received by the magazine/reviewer using a standard rating system which has been used for decades and is a firmly established reviewer discipline
• captions to sum up the image presented and/or, through the use of humour, either to condemn or condone the film, thereby persuading the reader to avoid it or relish seeing it
