Ancillary Tasks Planning

For my Ancillary Tasks, I have decided to do a poster and a magazine review page for my short film. I researched some posters promoting films, which usually have the main actors and actresses on and how they targeted their audiences. Also, the posters were bright and had lots of different colours on.
Here are some I found:

 




I also researched some magazine review pages for films, here are some I found:

I found this easier to use than photoshop as all I had to do was colour what parts I wanted to cut out and what parts I wanted to keep. This tools was not as precise as Photoshop as it was very difficult to colour between his fingers and between the guitar. However, if I take more time doing it I could make the photo cut out more precisely.  Here is the final result of cutting the photo out on Word. I still think the result on Word is good even though the cut out needs to be more precise.

My target audience, was males and female between the ages of 15 - 40 years old.  PRE - PRODUCTION Throughout the planning stages of my Short Film, the most crucial audience feedback came here.

These storylines included; one on mental health, one where the character was struggling to pay the rent of his council house and ended up being evicted and one where the character was homeless. After going through these ideas with my Media Teacher...
