Evaluation Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main task and your ancillary tasks? Part 2

1. What stylistic elements are common to both the main and
ancillary tasks? How are these explored/represented differently
in each?
■ The childlike expression within the piece clearly links the ancillary task to the main
task.This is explored in both the ancillary task and the film by using different types of
POV, within the main task there is a POV of the girl as she enters the forest area, this
coincides with the POV of the poster that is represented with the drawings done by
the girl looking at it allows us to see what she sees and in turn try to understand her
feeling of the situation.
■ The picture taken of the film put into the review gives a massive sense of childlike
wonder.This is because the picture is from a worms eye view and it is meant to be
seen as a child’s view to allow the readers of the review to understand that its from the
child’s point of view and she is the main focus.

2. Do the review and poster convey/communicate the
same message/meaning as the film or do they mediate
narrative/characterisation elements?
■ The review and the poster do communicate the same message I believe.They both try
to highlight to potential problems of stranger danger and the other dangers of
allowing your child to walk around unsupervised at a young age.
■ I think they directly tackle the problem of neglect and stranger danger in a way that is
quite easy to understand. By making the meeting the focus point, it allows for the
situation to cause tension for the audience and through this allows the audience a way
to see what could happen to there kids, it also makes it memorable and hard to read.
■ This is because you have no idea about the intentions of the male character, the
audience have no idea whether he is going to help or hinder the girl and to what extent
he is going to get involved making the audience worry about the girls safety.

3. How do my ancillary tasks impact on my
main product?
■ I think they impact heavily upon my piece.The review will affect it heavily because it
will allow my audience an idea of what my film is about and it will allow them to see
the style I was going for and how I’m using that to highlight the main task. It will also
let them understand what I am trying to accomplish is focusing on neglect and the
dangers that come from letting younger children walk around on their own.
■ The poster tries to highlight the little girls point of view and she sees it as a fun sort of
experience and doesn’t realise the danger, the reason this is so good is the fact that it
will highlight to the older people such as parents the danger they could be putting
there children in the same situation if they don’t know where they are.

4. Are my ancillary tasks a clear reflection of
my main product?
■ I believe they are, I think they both represent the message I am trying to convey
clearly, the reason for this is one directly references the problem and the other subtly
references the problem.
■ The review heavily goes into what I am trying to convey in my poem, it helps outline
the meaning of the film for people who may want to watch it and also gives them the
overall feel of the film and the seriousness of it.
■ The poster more subtly points to the dangerous aspects of people allowing there
children to roam far away without supervision.This shows how easily the something
could potentially happen to the girl.

5. How does the review and poster reference one another to
promote/deepen our understanding/introduce extra layers of
meaning into the film?
■ Well the review talks about the innocence and young age of the young girl
whilst also highlighting the potential dangers.The poster captures the way she
is unaware of the danger.
■ This is done by using a retrospective drawing as the poster. It connotes that
she got out of the encounter safely and also shows that she didn’t really
understand the danger of the situation.
■ This with the description in the review helped the audience to analyse the both
the poster and review and keep on top of all the deeper meanings in the film.
This includes the harder ones to spot such as neglect.
