How effective is the combination of your trailer with your ancillary task?

On one hand, I believe that the three components of my coursework work together effectively. One reason I think this is because I made sure to use similar, and some of the same, fonts across each component. This allowed there to be a clear link between the three, which was said by participants of my questionnaire to be effective. However, as well as using similar fonts I made sure to use universally recognised fonts on each individual component, in order to create the feel of a film trailer, film poster and magazine cover.

Both my film poster and my magazine cover also focus mainly on the characters, this is especially evident in my magazine cover. I decided to use just Alice in my magazine cover in order to enhance the importance of the emotions she had and the situation she was in. Some people felt that this was effective however, some people felt that this made the trailer and the magazine dissimilar, due to one involving two characters and the other just one.

I also believe the images I chose for the film poster and the magazine cover were effective as they both showed a clear link to each other and the film trailer. The film poster’s image was taken in a photoshoot but I believe that I managed to capture the love and emotions between the two characters by having Maggie looking up to Alice. I believe the magazine cover also portrays Alice well, however in a different light to the film poster. The cover, despite Alice smiling and laughing, suggests isolation due to the difference of her being on her own and not with Maggie. Although, I think I could’ve made this more clear as many responses didn’t see this.

 On the other hand, I think there were a few aspects to my coursework which made them not as effective as I had hoped. One example is that the magazine cover looks as though it could be from another genre, which creates a great difference between the three components. Another aspect was some responses from my questionnaire thought the image on the film poster was slightly comedic. This was disappointing as I really liked the image, but after seeing these comments I can see how it may come across as a ‘jokey’ picture. Finally, I think my magazine cover should’ve included more information about the film and not so much focus on Alice. This would’ve helped link it to the film trailer better, especially with the cloudiness around the genre.
