1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?

2. • Combining the poster and the film works really
well because the main think you notice about
the poster is the fact that the girl is fading away,
which relates well because in the film she is a
ghost.

3. • The typography is mainly white and simplistic
which could represent the man’s empty life or
the minimalism which Joe and I tried to
achieve when creating the film.

4. • The gold on the poster has connotations of
quality, which would work well with any film
because it is going to entice the audience to
go and view it.

5. • The poster gives a brief insight to the
characters and the setting the film is going to
take; you can see how the male is very sad
and the woman is happy and that it is set in a
bedroom. Already the audience knows
something about the characters and the film
in general.

6. • This is a quotation from Derrek Walcott’s ‘Life
After Love’. It is relevant to the film as the film
is about the man moving on, and it also
connects the film with the inspiration it got
from the poem.
I was inspired by the poster for ‘Ghost’ with it
being spaced out.

7. • To achieve this ‘disappearing
effect, if you will, I turned
down the opacity of Nicola. I
did this because she is looking
at the male as he is looking at
the camera. This is because
she loves him and wants
what’s best for him but he
can’t look back as he is too
distraught.

8. • For the review and the film, it works well
because it tells the audience if it is a good film
and what it is about with added information
creating intrigue for the audience.
‘maybe I’m just being greedy’.
‘you’ve always got to have
a box of tissues with you’.

10. • I noticed a set structure a review would take:
firstly, it would speak about the context of the
film. Then it would perhaps continue with that
or elaborate further. A synopsis would then be
included followed by the author’s verdict in
regards to the film.

11. • I stylised the magazine with lines to make it
modern and I included review necessities such
as a verdict, an image, a page number and
website and the magazine’s name – elements
which I was somewhat familiar with from
studying music magazines from AS.

12. • Ultimately, each of the products go hand-in-
hand and all come across very professional.
