1. Evaluation 2 How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

6. Poster designs

8. On a lot of the posters we found that a frequent convention was to have a comment from reviewer that will give a positive outlook on the film.

9. Final design Here is our final design in which. We wanted the picture to project the same tragic feel that linked in with our film. We felt that the use of a colour scheme would help create this low mood feel. We felt that the photo of our protagonist was highly appropriate as this is how we see her in the film, the contrast in her being in slight colour whereas the male figure on black and white we indicate to the audience that there is a more significance with the girl. Our main aim when creating the poster was to attract attention, we feel that the use of a bold title and simplistic layout will allow this to happen and the use of the white text against the dull background will allow relevant information to stand out and be read.

12. We looked at different layouts of photo and text and how it was arranged onto the double page, This review used the whole of one page for its photo (a still from the film) and on the second page filled with text. This was one layout we were going to consider.

16. Final design Here is our final magazine review, After looking at the research and the conventions used in other real media products, we felt that we could take some of aspects from the other design that we saw effective and use them in our own product. Firstly we saw that in every review, the photo that was used came from a shot that was present in the film. We decided this would look effective and so took a photo of our protagonist in a pose that is shown in our piece.
