Evaluation: Directors chair interview part 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

The combination of the main product and the ancillary tasks are effective as they let the audience know the genre of our film. We used George Robinson which plays 'the hitman' as the main picture focus for the magazine front cover and our poster. In both of our ancillary tasks we used action shots. Reason for me and Kiyan using action shots is to emphasize the action side to our film. In our poster and magazine front cover we portray our 'hero' George as the 'villain'. We use the colours red, white and black on both of our magazine front cover and our poster to give off that this trailer also has a violent side. The colours also show the audience that theres a 'good vs evil'. However we havent hinted who is good and who is evil, instead we tried to disguise the characters. This leaves mystery for the audience and also leaves them to think for themselves instead of us giving it away. Our intention was always to try make a big blockbuster film but with a low-budget feel of a British film. Because we didn't have loads of money making it feel like a low-budget film was easy for us, the hard part was making it look like a Hollywood, red carpet film. This is were our ancillary tasks helped us create our own brand identity. To me personally our Magazine screams Blockbuster all over it.                            

The scenery behind showing our location and the colours used to create the grey atmosphere in the sky , with the use of costumes and props makes our magazine look professional. I believe along with our poster me and Kiyan have branded our products well through the ancillary tasks. However I do believe that if we had more money and more time this could also have come across more in our teaser.
