How
eﬀec&ve
is
the

combina&on
of

your
main
product

and
ancillary
texts?

My
Poster

From
my
poster,
there
is
a
use
of
simplis&c,
dark

ligh&ng
which
is
conven&ons
of
the
genre,
social

realism.
The
loca&on
seen
in
my
image
also
shows

seDngs
to
the
genre
by
its
natural
seDngs.
You
can

see
it
is
in
a
standard
house
which
has
been
worn
in,

you
can
see
that
in
the
door
with
the
wheelchair

scratches
against
the
door.

We
understand
that
the
style
of
the
poster
follows

conven&ons
of
social
realism
because
of
the
basic
font

and
simplis&c
style
of
the
wri&ng.
The
font
is
a
basic

colour
and
shows
a
similar
colour
paleGe
to
the

poster.
By
the
use
of
the
small
print
at
the
boGom

shows
conven&ons
of
any
type
of
movie
poster.

Simplis&c,
natural
ligh&ng
is
used
all
throughout
my
ﬁlm.
This
is
a
strong
conven&on
to
the

genre,
social
realism.
I
have
used
natural
loca&ons
and
seDngs
in
my
ﬁlm
as
well.
I
have
used

the
loca&on
of
a
house
and
showing
the
situa&on
and
damages
which
are
happening
in
the

house.

In
the
image
you
can
see
the
different
ability
between
the

two
characters.
You
can
see
the
main
theme
and
issue
of

disability
as
the
boy
is
physically
disabled.

The
poster
is
represen&ng
the
two
protagonists,
Jonathon

and
Darcy.
You
can
tell
there
is
a
rela&onship
between
the

two
by
the
close
proxemics
of
them
both.
A
key
theme

shown
in
the
poster
and
is
also
men&oned
in
the
magazine

review
is
imprisonment
vs
freedom.
The
wheelchair

represents
an
anchor
and
pulls
Jonathon’s
life
down.
He

feels
imprisoned
as
he
must
rely
on
others.
Darcy
represents

the
freedom
as
she
is
more
able
than
Jonathon.
By
the
mise-‐
en-‐scene
of
costume
is
used,
by
her
wearing
heels
you
can

tell
she
is
going
out.

My
Poster

The
poster
is
linking
strongly
to
the
film
by
the
struggle
you
see
in
Jonathon’s
character
and
that
he

relies
on
Darcy
for
many
things.
It
is
shown
in
the
film
when
Jonathon
struggles
to
do
stuff
by
himself.

On
the
right,
Jonathon
is
struggling
to
pull
himself
into
his
wheelchair.
Darcy
helps
dress
Jonathon
and

push
wheelchair
as
it
was
too
difficult
to
do
when
he
pushes
it
himself.

My
Poster

My
poster
reflects
the
style
of
my
film
by
the
micro

technical
elements.
The
technical
element
on
mise-‐en-‐
scene
is
used
strongly
in
the
poster.
By
the
colour

paleGe
of
my
poster,
it
shows
you
that
my
film
has
a

serious
tone
to
it
and
that
problems
will
occur
during

the
film.

By
the
set
design,
you
can
tell
that
it
is
a
low
economic

house
and
that
there
is
stress
within
the
house.
With

the
washed
out
dirty
floors
and
scratched
doors,
the

family
have
not
got
a
good
financial
situa&on
to

decorate
the
house
at
a
higher
quality.

The
similar
colour
paleGe
is
used

throughout
the
film.
This
shows

the
audience
the
serious
tone
to

the
film.

In
the
screenshots
shown
to
the

leW,
you
can
see
the
dirty
rooms

and
the
damaged
rooms.
This

links
to
the
poster.

The
poster
informs
my
audience
about
my
film
by

showing
the
two
main
protagonists
and
gives
an
insight

to
their
situa&on
as
you
can
see
the
difference
with
the

two.

My
poster
also
have
quota&ons
from
film
cri&cs
about

the
film.
One
of
the
quotes
men&on
that
it
is
an

emo&onal
journey
through
the
girl’s
eyes.
This
tells
my

audience
how
the
story
has
an
impact
from
the
girl’s

story
and
also
that
there
is
a
problem
what
she
has
to

overcome
and
face.
This
informs
my
audience
a
large
part

of
the
film.

My
Poster

Film
footage

My
Poster

The
poster
promotes
the
film
by
the
film
cri&cs

responses
and
ra&ng
to
the
film.
This
shows
the

audience
a
strong
opinion
of
someone
high
in
the
film

industry.
This
judgment
persuades
the
audience

whether
the
film
is
worth
watching.

It
is
also
shown
on
the
poster
that
the
film
is
currently

up
for
an
award
and
has
won
an
award.
This
shows
my

audience
that
the
film
is
at
an
high
enough
quality
to

compete
against
other
films
in
large
film
awards
and

fes&vals.

If
the
audience
want
to

know
more
about
the

film
and
more
opinions.

There
is
a
full
review

wriGen
on
it.
It
goes
in

depth
with
the
style,

filming
and
edi&ng
and

performances
of
the
film.

The
preconcep&ons
the

poster
develops
to
viewers
is

the
rela&onship
between
the

characters
being
shown
on

the
poster
and
also
the

situa&on
of
them.

Preconcep&ons
are
good
for

the
audience
as
it
builds
up

tension
for
them.
This
gives

them
something
to
look

forward
to
when
preparing
to

watch
the
ﬁlm.

My
Poster

My
Main
Task

Both
of
my
ancillary
tasks
are
here
to
represent
the
themes

and
issues
of
the
film.
They
both
are
there
to
lure
the

audience
into
the
film.

The
magazine
review
gives
a
more
detailed,
professional

cri&c
of
the
film.
It
shows
personal
and
impersonal
modes

and
feelings
about
the
film.
The
magazine
review
is
used
for

the
audience
to
have
more
of
an
understanding
of
the
film.

The
poster
is
an
image
to
lure
the
audience
into
the
film.

The
image
is
there
to
connote
representa&ons
of
themes

and
issues
which
will
occur
in
the
film.
This
will
give
the

audience
preconcep&ons
of
the
film
and
what
will
happen.

This
differs
from
the
magazine
review
as
there
is
much

more
detail.

My
Main
Task

The
magazine
review
goes
in
depth

with
the
meaning
behind
the
narra&ve

and
different
representa&ons
seen

throughout
the
film.
The
image
of
the

boy
used
in
the
magazine
review
links

well
to
the
poster.
It
shows
the
boy
in
a

dark
room,
siDng
alone
in
his

wheelchair.
The
wheelchair
represents

an
anchor
weighing
him
down.
As
he
is

not
as
able
as
others.

In
the
poster,
you
can
see
an
image
of
the

boy
and
a
girl.
You
can
easily
iden&fy
the

representa&on
of
the
difference
of
the

two.
This
leads
to
many
preconcep&ons

the
audience
may
have.
Who
is
she?

What
is
there
rela&onship?
Why
is
he
in
a

wheelchair?

The
image
also
connotes
that
they
boy
is

weak,
as
some
one
else
is
there
helping

him.
The
poster
builds
up
tension
of
the

narra&ve
and
makes
the
audience
have

preconcep&ons
of
the
film.

The
themes
which
are
strong
evident
in
both
media
products
is

disability
and
freedom
vs
imprisonment.
The
ar&cle
goes
in
depth

with
the
themes
and
issues
and
cri&cises
the
film
in
depth.
The
poster

en&ces
the
audience
into
the
film
by
its
image.

FILM
FOOTAGE

My
Main
Task

My
ancillary
tasks
have
a
large
impact
on
my
main
product
as
it
is
all
used
as
adver&sement
for

the
ﬁlm.
The
products
are
there
to
lure
the
audience
to
the
ﬁlm
and
make
them
want
to
see
it.

The
media
products
combine
together.

The
products
work
well
together
by
the

representa&ons
seen
in
them.
The
use
of
low-‐key

ligh&ng
and
damage
house
is
shown
in
the

images.
Also
see
one
of
the
key
themes
of

disability.

My
Main
Task

In
the
magazine
review,
the

writer
talks
about
how
the

director
is
portray
the
themes

and
issues
and
also
how

performances
are
given
by
the

actors.
Giving
a
taster
to
the

audience
to
what
they
are
going

to
see.

The
poster
can
relate
to
the
ﬁlm

by
the
posi&oning
of
the

characters.
The
distance
of
the

characters
show
a
strong

posi&oning
showing
there
is

some
form
of
tension
between

them.

My
ancillary
tasks
both
represent
my
ﬁlm
by
the

clear
understanding
of
themes
and
issues
portray

through
illustra&on
and
text.

My
Main
Task

The
posi&oning
of
the
images
in
the
magazine

review
connote
a
hierarchy.
The
girl
is
looking
over

the
boy
and
is
the
most
powerful
in
the

rela&onship.
This
is
a
hidden
message
to
the

readers
of
the
ar&cle
as
can
not
be
seen
clearly
to

the
eye.

The
composi&on
of
the
people
in
the
poster

shows
a
close
rela&onship
but
a
tension.
This

reveals
to
the
audience
that
there
is
a

situa&on
between
the
two.
This
is
use
to

unpack
the
film
to
the
audience
without

realising.
In
the
film,
the
characters
have
a

loving,
caring
rela&onship
but
there
is
a
large

sense
of
tension
within
the
film.

My
Magazine
Review

My
review
has
a
small
synopsis
in
the
leW

hand
corner
of
the
review.
Showing
us
a

brief,
simple
show
of
events
of
the
film.

This
informs
the
reader
the
beginning,

middle
and
end
and
shows
the
problems

what
occur
in
the
film.

This
gives
the
audience
a
clear,
structured

understanding
of
the
film
and
the

narra&ve
of
the
film.
The
audience
can

read
the
synopsis
to
gain
a
brief

understanding
of
the
film.
If
wan&ng
to

know
more
about

the
film,
the
reader
can
read
the
ar&cle

wriGen
from

cri&c.

My
Magazine
Review

The
film
review
aGracts
an
audience
in
a
different
way
than
the

poster
does.
The
film
review
gives
more
of
an
insight
into
the
film
as

it
gives
a
professional,
film
cri&c
opinion
to
the
reader
and
lets
it

know
the
nega&ve
and
posi&ves
of
the
film.

The
poster
lures
the
audience
in
by
the
image
and
leaves
them

ques&oning
themselves
about
the
film.
By
the
selected
quota&ons

used
and
the
ra&ngs,
this
gives
them
only
one
brief
opinion
about

the
film.
The
poster
gives
them
preconcep&ons
of
the
film.
This

builds
tension
for
the
audience.
The
film
review
goes
more
in
depth

and
analysis
the
full
narra&ve
and
situa&ons.
The
review
also
gives
a

cri&c
on
performances
and
the
produc&on.
This
gives
the
audience

more
of
an
understanding
to
what
to
expect.

My
Magazine
Review

a young age of eighteen and studied
drama within her A Levels. In
Matthews’ first feature Loveless, she
focuses on using untrained actors and
says it can help a performance become
more natural. The films have several
connections to each other. Matthews
uses to the location of the Croydon
borough through her films to depict
‘real’ life and show the problems what
contains in the small gritty environment.
Rising actor, Myles Egan is seen playing
Jonathon Williams. He is recently an
upcoming actor and has appeared in
recent short Addiction (2014) by Grace
Sheridan. Egan has won Best
Upcoming Actor at Edinburgh Film
Festival.
The protagonist Darcy Williams is
seen as a broken, weak woman.
Struggling to care for brother Jonathon
and live a normal young woman live.
The vulnerability is shown within the
closeness of shots and movement of the
character and her feelings unfold during
throughout the short. The isolation
portrayed with Egan’s character by the

Jonathon and shows the blandness of
his life. The colour palette of the film
shows the emotion and stress in the
situation. The tension builds up inside
the awkward, broken relationship.
Matthews depicts the life of a young
carer and strongly shows the struggle
and emotion to that. Audience may
see Leatherby’s character as selfish by
leaving the distress brother behind.
The emotions could have been shown
more delicately as Matthews
representation is not as strong as she
wanted to perceive it.
The turning point is when you see
Darcy dramatically exits the house
after the confrontation a sudden
change reoccurs in her travel. Our
story becomes surrounded in
mayhem when Darcy takes her mood
swings out on mysterious man,
Robbie and storms off. A moment of
change happens when a older woman
and disabled boy are strolling down
the road. The woman is deeply caring
for the boy, Darcy’s character realises
the relationship between them and
that the boy has much more
difficulties than Jonathon. A moral
message is being perceived in the

In
the
magazine
review,
there
are

posi&ve
and
nega&ve
points
to
give
the

review
a
fair
opinion.

In
the
lower
highlighted
sec&ons
of
the

magazine
review,
you
can
see
the

writer
explaining
about
the
use
of
the

micro
technical
elements
of
camera

and
mise-‐en-‐scene.
The
writer
explains

that
the
use
of
the
technical
elements

give
much
meaning
to
the
story
and

show
the
audience
the
representa&on

of
the
director.

In
the
another
highlighted
sec&on,
the

writer
says
how
the
director
did
not

get
the
right
message
across
as
she

wanted
to
as
they
are
not
represented

as
strong
enough
as
they
could
be.

If
the
magazine
review
was
biased,
it

would
give
an
unfair
opinion
to
the

readers.
If
the
audience
go
to
watch

the
ﬁlm
based
on
the
review
and
it
lets

them
down,
this
can
cause
the

audience
opinions
to
turn
against
the

ﬁlm
and
give
it
bad
publicity.

My
Magazine
Review

The
magazine
review
is
at
a
similar
level
to
an

industrial
format.
The
review
given
is
a
fair
piece
of

cri&que
which
reveals
to
the
audience
and
pulls
the

film
apart.

The
review
reveals
specific
things
in
the
ar&cle
so

the
audience
have
an
understanding
of
the
film
and

who
it
is
aimed
at.

The
genre
is
men&oned
in
the
third
paragraph.

This
is
to
establish
the
audience
and
reel
them
in.

Social
realism
is
a
genre
which
tends
to
be

watched
from
higher
educa&on
students
and

onwards.
Teens
and
younger
would
not
enjoy
the

film
as
it
is
very
bland
and
dull.

The
opening
paragraph
is
a
quote
from

Anna
Garlin
Spencer.
This
quote
is
to
link

into
themes
and
issues
of
the
film.
The

literature
used
in
the
review
is
at
a
higher

academic
level
and
would
not
be
suitable

for
young
teens.
This
clearly
shows
the

different
audience
it
is
aimed
at.

The
heading
for
the

film
review

establishes
the

cer&ficate
of
the
film.

This
is
used
to

evidently
show
the

audience
who
the

film
was
suitable
for.

My
Magazine
Review
My
film
review
breaks
down
the
themes
and
issues
which
are
seen
to
be
the
centre
of
the

film.
The
cri&c
explores
them
and
unpacks
the
representa&on
seen
throughout
the
film.

In
the
first
paragraph,
a

quote
is
used
to
link
to

the
main
problem
of

the
film.
It
is
seen
about

a
women
caring
from

someone
else.
The
first

issue
is
shown
which
is

disability.
This
takes
you

straight
into
the
film.

In
the
opening
of
the

second
paragraph,
it

takes
you
more
in-‐depth

with
the
characters
and

the
background
of
them.

In
the
paragraph
it
shows

the
loca&on
of
the
film

and
explains
the
class
of

them.

Mid-‐way
through
the

second
paragraph,
it
goes

into
detailed
of
the

emo&ons
and
feelings
of

the
characters
with
the

situa&on
they
are
in.
The

review
makes
a
clear
point

that
a
key
theme
of

imprisonment
vs.
freedom

is
shown
in
the
short.
It

then
links
back
to
previous

work
from
the
director.

The
third
paragraph

goes
into
more
issues

of
vulnerability
and

isola&on.
The

paragraph
goes
more

in-‐dept
with
how
the

the
technical
elements

and
conno&ng
more

issues
and

representa&ons.
This

is
the
writer

unpacking
the
film

and
geDng
more
in-‐
depth.
It
is
evident
in

the
lower
part
of
the

text
that
there
is
a

broken
rela&onship

within
the
two

characters.

in
the
review
also
link
to
each
other.
At
the
top,
centre
of

the
review
–
there
is
an
image
of
young
actor
Amiee
Leatherby

looking
down.
At
the
boGom,
leW
there
is
an
image
of
vulnerable

character
Myles
Egan.

The
images
are
posi&oned
like
this
to
show
a
‘hierarchy’
of
power.

The
boGom,
right
image
is
of
vulnerable
character
Jonathon
played

by
Myles
Egan.
The
image
is
of
him
in
his
wheelchair.
He
relies
on
his

carer
Darcy,
shown
in
the
top
image.
The
images
represent
the

rela&onship
between
them.

In
the
ﬁlm,
there
is
many
shots
showing
a
strong
proxemics
of
the

characters
and
there
rela&onship.
In
the
shot
on
the
leW,
you
see
the

separa&on
between
them.
This
is
used
by
the
line
in
between

blocking
them
apart.
In
the
shot
on
the
right,
the
hierarchy
has

changed
over.
Darcy
is
now
the
weak
and
vulnerable
one.

In
the
boGom
two
shots,
you
can
see
Jonathon
relying
on
Darcy
as

she
pushes
his
wheelchair.
