2. The main aim for our coursework was to create a 5
minute production.
Each person individually in the group had to do an
ancillary task which was creating a poster and review
to advertise our film.
3. The main objective for our ancillary task was to create
a film poster and film review to promote and advertise
our film.
The film poster and film review was created to
persuade the audience to watch our film just from
looking at both the film review and film poster.

6. For the title of the film I decided to use a simple font so the
audience can identify the name of the film easily. I also
changed the font colour to green so it is different from the
rest of the font colours, and it makes it far more clear to the
audience of what the film name is.
For the main protagonists I also decided to use clear and
simple font so that the audience can identify who the
characters within our film are with ease. The second half of
the characters name is bold to also indicate to the audience
that this is one of the main characters in the film.
For the tagline I decided to keep it artless so the
audience can understand and read it without having
any difficulties.
From looking at other film
poster credits I decided to
make my credits look artistic
as it makes the poster look
more attractive and
professional. It was very clear
to read and easy to
understand.
7. I decided to use simple and clear font so the
audience can read the film review with no
difficulties or misunderstandings.
For the title I used big and bold
font so it stands out from the
rest of the text within the film
review to give the audience a
clear insight of the film name.
8. I decided not to use a picture from my final video
because the quality of a print screened picture will not
look good on my film review. So what I did was take a
few pictures while we were filming, this allowed me to
get a high quality picture that I added in my film review.
It made my review look much more professional.
The main picture I used for my film review was of both of the main protagonists
sitting down on the sofa showing each others facials expressions and how they feel
sitting next to each other. The image that I used gave me an idea of what colour
schemes I should use throughout my review.
9. I decided to use these three images as they all show facial expressions of the protagonists. These
three images fit well in my poster as it represents that the protagonists are uncomfortable with
each other and it links to our storyline very well as both characters are going through a
complicated relationship and are about to break up. I added effects on all three images by using
Adobe Photoshop, this made the poster look better and gave a unique look to my poster.
10. For the protagonist names I decided to use For the film review I decided to use a white
the colour white for the text as it is easy and background as this will make the text
simple to read. This time I used white text stand out and make it easier for the
instead of using black colour text as the audience to read. The colour white is a
colour black wouldn’t have been clear and it bright colour and links with the second

11. I decided to use a black background for my poster as it makes the rest of
the poster stand out. I created little boxes on my poster by adding shapes
on Photoshop. I did this because it separated the images very well.
12. After looking at several film posters I noticed that all of the film posters
have a film classification, Facebook website link and their own company
website link on their posters. So I decided to add my own company website,
Facebook link and also a film classification to my poster, this allows
audiences to interact more with our film by visiting our website and also
liking our page on Facebook. I added a film classification as it states what
ages can watch our film.
13. Overall I feel that both my film poster and review
were effective as it linked to our final product very
well.
