1. How effective is the combination of your
main product and ancillary tasks?
The aim of the two pieces in our eyes were to
represent our film well and get the people we
showed the two pieces two intrigued and
somewhat excited about seeing our film.
We believe this was a success as the people who
had viewed the film after seeing the poster on a
whole said they all represented each other well.
I believe the overall colour balance and the text
within the double page spread is very effective at
describing our films plot without giving too much
away and is a fair review of our primary product
even with the writers bias.

2. Poster
Our film poster I think was quite
effective in the way in which it
symbolises some of the key plot
points. The inversed image of the
school is a great way of symbolising
the change and un-comfortability of
Dons situation. This coupled with the
silhouettes of Don and Libby shows
that despite his situation he puts his
daughter before himself wanting to
be not only the perfect dad but a
good person too. Overall the
playfulness of the of the poster along
with some serious overtones makes
for the perfect mood set and
description of the film within our
poster

3. DPS
The effectiveness and
overall look of the
double page spread I
think is the most
successful overall. Both
the colour combinations
across the spread and
the text within it
represent the film very
well. The text within the
article expresses that
some of the key points
of the short were to
express the beautiful
relationship between
father and daughter as
well as being a story of
self discovery.

4. What links the products together?
• Colour - the blue theme across all three
products expresses some of the key themes of
depression and rigmarole of every day life
• Playfulness – the seriousness of some of the
themes within the main task are contrasted by
the light-hearted nature of some parts within
the three products
• Text – the majority of the products use the same
font across the board for parts such as the titles
and end credits
• Representation – each of the products have the
same basic themes: dark comedy, playfulness,
self help, this is essential to making the
products fit seamlessly together.
