Evaluation - Question 2

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


I have created a Quicktime above of me talking through what I have used and below I have attached a Glogster. 


Fonts: 

I have used the same fonts on my magazine and poster on title 'Warning'. This gives them consistency, and links to how I have also used a bold plain font on the trailer. The cover lines of the magazines and the font on the reviews of the poster are plain, simple and similar, this follows themes of realism, as a fancy font would create an impression of fantasy.

Lighting:

Although the trailer itself and the theme of drugs are quite a dark aspect, all three of the pieces of work contain quite high key lighting. We did originally plan on having a low key lighting theme, however daytime filming made us unable to do that and the filming we did do in the dark wasn't as much of a high quality. It is also a polar opposite and challenges of darker social realism films such as Kidulthood and Adulthood, in which are quite grimy, dark environments and lighting.

Images:

I have used a variety of shots throughout my work, however most are quite up close and personal shots in which enable the audience to see facial expressions and build tension. The poster and magazine have similar shots, and are both of main characters in the trailer. People are more likely to recognise actors in the trailer than an area. This also would help promote little known actors and make them a household name.

Costumes and settings:

All through my magazine, poster and trailer the actors are wearing hoodies, trackies/jeans and trainers. This follows conventions and stereotypes of the setting and also of 'chavs'/ The use of this sort of costume helps to keep consistency. Both of the photos are taken on an urban background, with bricks and alleyways, this is in keeping with the setting of the trailer and the various locations of Haughton Green we have used. 

Representations of characters:

All of the characters are represented in a similar way, however the females also being drug dealers as well as the male challenges stereotypes of females and the fact that they are weak and innocent. This challenges stereotypes due to the way the females attempt to take on the male and try and win their dealing area back.
