How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

• Combining the poster and the film works really well because the main think you notice about the poster is the fact that the girl is fading away, which relates well because in the film she is a ghost.

• The typography is mainly white and simplistic which could represent the man’s empty life or the minimalism which Joe and I tried to achieve when creating the film.

• The gold on the poster has connotations of quality, which would work well with any film because it is going to entice the audience to go and view it.

• The poster gives a brief insight to the characters and the setting the film is going to take; you can see how the male is very sad and the woman is happy and that it is set in a bedroom. Already the audience knows something about the characters and the film in general.

• This is a quotation from Derrek Walcott’s ‘Life After Love’. It is relevant to the film as the film is about the man moving on, and it also connects the film with the inspiration it got from the poem.

I was inspired by the poster for ‘Ghost’ with it being spaced out.

• To achieve this ‘disappearing effect, if you will, I turned down the opacity of Nicola. I did this because she is looking at the male as he is looking at the camera. This is because she loves him and wants what’s best for him but he can’t look back as he is too distraught.

• For the review and the film, it works well because it tells the audience if it is a good film and what it is about with added information creating intrigue for the audience.

‘maybe I’m just being greedy’.

‘you’ve always got to have a box of tissues with you’.

• I noticed a set structure a review would take: firstly, it would speak about the context of the film. Then it would perhaps continue with that or elaborate further. A synopsis would then be included followed by the author’s verdict in regards to the film.

• I stylised the magazine with lines to make it modern and I included review necessities such as a verdict, an image, a page number and website and the magazine’s name – elements which I was somewhat familiar with from studying music magazines from AS.

• Ultimately, each of the products go hand-in-hand and all come across very professional.
