I have circled the most effective parts on my ancillary task, these are the things that I personally feel are the most effective part of my poster and review as they provide a small insight into the story line of "A Working Student" and I also think these would be good for advertising my film as they raise questions such as "Why is she looking down?" this would tell us she is ashamed, and make us want to know why.
The pinky burgundy colour scheme which I have used for my the title "A Working Student" also tells us that it is a film that is for a female audience, these factors combined with the film work well together to provide a potential audience with the information that they would want to make them want to see the film.
I purposely designed my poster after I had made my film, just so I would know where to start, as the purpose of a film poster is to represent the film and be relevent to the themes within the film itself and I feel that my poster represents my film really well, as the main theme of "A Working Student" is how ashamed Amy is that she is a Litter picker, yet I wanted to lead my audience to believe she is a prostitute, and the clothing she is wearing in the poster was used on purpose to lead the audience into this belief before they watch "A Working Student", if I put her in a pair of overalls on the poster with a pair of litter pickers and called the film "A Sweeping Student" then it would automatically give up the punchline, therefore the image I have chosen to use supports the narrative of the film itself.
On my review I have given a brief outline of the storyline and used an image which is from my film itself, and have purposely related it back to the image I have used on my poster. The idea of a film poster is to sew the seed in your mind, and draw your attention to the film, then a review is to help someone decide if they actually want to see it, so the combination of the powerful image that I have used on my poster and the image I have used on my review really would raise the question of why is she so stressed or ashamed? making the audience curious and want to see it.
I think that my Poster and Review fulfil their objectives really well, they support my film and represent it in the way I want them to, they don't lead my audience to believe its an action or a thriller, they lead an audience to believe its an innocent chick flick, which is exactly what I want them to think, therefore I feel the combination of my Ancillary Tasks and "A Working Student" are very effective and successful.
