Ancillery Tasks
As part of our coursework, we have to include two ancillary texts.
For our coursework we have chosen to do:
a poster for the film
and
a film magazine review page featuring the film
Our poster for the film will be mostly done on Adobe Photoshop Elements. It will be similar to our teaser poster, but much more fulfilling as it is a normal poster, not teaser.
Our Film magazine will be done in Office Publisher as this is great for using graphics alongside text.
More Details to come, watch this space...

Genre Research
The genre we want to look into is Thriller/Comedy, (comedy but with a bit of a serious side/weirdness to it) will look into books and also previous films of the same genre.
Family Guy - Seth Macfarlane- 2003 to Present
Robot Chicken - Adult Swim - 2007 to Present
After watching these two shows(of similar creators[Seth green is the man behind Robot Chicken but also stars in Family Guy as Chris Griffin, and Seth Macfarlane will also take part in Robot Chicken at times e.g. P.S I love You S4EP1]) we noticed that random actions add good comedy effect e.g. Random man on fire come on screen screaming for a split second.
Having distorted physics also tends to make things more of a comedic value as well e.g. in Family Guy when people fall off something, they will hit the floor instantly, with a loud thud.
Donnie Darko - Richard Kelly - 2001
This film has a few elements we would like to take into our film.
The film is based around the main protagonist (Donnie Darko) seeing an invisible character, but is seen by him and no one else. This invisible character also has a disturbing/weird look to it which can cause unease in a way to the audience.
Camera shots in this film portray the attitude and atmosphere of the main protagonist very well which we feel would work rather well in our film as well.
Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 (VideoGame) - Valve - 1999/2004
This videogame influenced one of our Main Protagonists because a character that features completes a similar position in the story. The character known as 'G Man' looks like a normal person, in a business suit, however is invisible to everyone but the main protagonist. G Man's role is to watch over the main character and protect him, but also watch over him to see if he is worthy. This is the role our 'Blue Man' will have.
Lost - JJ Abrhams - 2006 - present
We have looked into this Tv Show as it uses falshbacks to explain the story and exposition of characters often. Therefore we will take into account these when creating our flashback. For example, we like the sound that is used to translate from flashback and real world.
Twin Peaks - Mark Frost/David Lynch - 1990
We have looked into this program as it has a very weird story line and also has odd settings. Such as the particuler episode we have looked at is where the main protagonist has been sent to another dimension. in this place, there is a man who speaks backwards. Such as, his voice is in rewind, but the words are said forwards, so if he was played forwards, he would sound odd. We will try incorporate this into our film, by having our 'Blue man' a mute in the real world, but in his world, he will speak backwards.
Red Dwarf (Backwards Episode ) - 1989 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WBE0wGzMT4
This episode is very related to our film since it is about a crew of 'normal' people in a place where everyone else is going backwards. We are going to take from this the type of stuff that works well going backwards such as eating and drinking, driving, and arguments/talking.

Robot Chicken - Adult Swim - 2007 to Present
