The film poster has an image of our main character in the foreground and blurred out sentences from the voice over in the background, this relates to the main characters life as the words are not clear and leaves the viewer unsure of how to judge him. The poster features no colors other than shades of black and white this gives the audience an idea of the gloomy narrative.
The obvious link between our film review and film would be the screen shot which is displayed at the top of the page it was placed here to catch the reader’s attention (A typical empire magazine print convention) , we chose a shot which would make audience members keen to read the review , this image shows the protagonist with his back to the camera which leaves viewers unable to distinguish the characters feelings however gives them an idea of his loneliness, this gives them a insight on the life of this character and the concept we aimed to produce , the location used for this shot also adds to the social realist genre.
We chose to use a sans serif font “Times new Roman” in order to give the review a professional look, as the concept of our film is quite serious , if we used a sans serif font such as “comic sans” at a glance the reader may interpret the film as a comedy
The rating of the film was done based on audience feedback, it was important to rate the film appropriately because it gives the reader a idea of what they will be watching. It wouldn’t have been sensible to rate the film five stars because this is not realistic for a short film under the genre of social realism. Another way we informed the reader of the quality was by including a quotation from a viewer, we made the text bold so it would catch the reader’s eye.
The link between our ancillary texts are clear due to the use of dull colors and similar pictures which give of a gloomy feeling which relate to or main character and storyline. The both display the title of the film very clearly defined by its large size.
