Evaluation Question 2
2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
My main idea for my media was to create an overall piece of work showing Jack the Ripper in a new light.I wanted to work with a duality theme where Jack has several different personalities. My main task were always going to be different from my two ancillary tasks. The radio trailer presents the bad side of Jack representing his evil sadistic and demonic side. The poster shows us a face looming out of the darkness, his face is horribly deformed on one side and normal on the other the face appears to be neutrally smiling, this shows us both of Jack's sides making him look like a monster. In the Film he is shown to be fighting this evil side as he battles with his dark side and we see him feeling sadness and remorse at his actions. I liked the whole duality and multiple personality angle so incorporated it into my work. Having him represented in three different ways allowed the theme of duality to flow. In the Radio trailer he is an evil sadistic twisted man who is a threatening twisted killer. In the film he is seen as a vulnerable man who shows remorse and sadness at the acts of atrocity he has commited. The poster then combines the two creating a hideous monster, and as well all no monsters are usually misunderstood people. This was a beauty behind the beast idea. For example in the 1800's Joseph Merrick aka the elephant man was in freak show circuses. People didn't understand him and so he was considered a freak, or monster. Yet once people got to know him they found a man who was misunderstood and the nation embraced him. The film and radio trailer for my project unravel the mystery behind the "Beast" on the poster.
Dark and Light are key elements in my Film running and mixing with the duality theme. The film is set within a shaft of bright light in which Jack and the girl inhabit. This shaft of light surrounded by darkness represents Jack's hope and his goodness. This is surrounded by dark representing his evil side in which the disembodied voice of his evil personality inhabits. The entire mise en scene represents Jack’s conscience, his mind. The piece is surreal and is non naturalistic as the film is set inside Jack’s head. The shaft of light that Jack and the girl inhabit is a lot smaller compared to the Darkness that surrounds it at the begining as Jack trys to fight it off. I wanted to show that the evil side of Jack had nearly almost consumed his personality. As the film progesses we see more of the light side and less of the darkness. As Jack prays he gains strenghth to fight his demons who eventually leave him alone. He then has a "conversation" between himself and the dead girl, however I wanted this to show that he is explaining to himself why he did this and that by imagining the girls fear and terror at beinging dead he is really trying to understand himself, and the resons why he does the things he does as he trys to explain how sorry he is. The Light gets bigger and stronger throughout the piece as Jack finaly gets rid of his murderous side. His dual personality is finally taken over by his good side.
When Jack removes his hat and cloak I wanted this to symbolise that he has finally rid himself of the killing demon' removing the clothing he wore when he killed.The light in the last few shots when Jack does this is a lot brighter and more in the frame showing the light has won. By having Jack cover the girl in his cloak and laying her to rest symbolises that he must bury the past and find salvation for what he has done.
The use of bible quotes at the start of the film reflect both of Jack's personalities "For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her are smoother than oil,but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword, her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold in hell" The dark side sees this proverb as an excuse to kill the prsotitue as the proverb says that immoral women go to hell anyway, and that he is doing the lords work. Where as the light sides response is another bible quote "thou shalt not kill". I wanted to use religion in my media because the bible is full of powerfull quotes, and going with the duality theme the bible often contradicts itself.

Final Deadline Poster
This final copy has the tagline going around the brim of the hat. I like it less to the orginal because the writing dosn't seem to flow correctly even though I tried to get it to fit properly. Also I added a fictional website address.

Evalutation Questions
In the evaluation the following questions must be answered:
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
E.g. Here you need to analyse at least 9 key shots from your main task and write about: generic conventions you’ve applied or subverted, your use of camera work, lighting, music, mise en scene, intertextuality, shots which show you’ve watched similar media texts. Pick key features from your ancillary tasks and do the same.
2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
E.g. Here you should provide background information to your products detailing what kind of image you hoped to create and your main aims behind creating the campaign. You should mention: research, narrative, use of colour, text, font, images, sound and how they link. Evaluate your pieces by considering what worked well and what you’d change if you could.
3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?
E.g. Initial feedback you received from peers, teachers and social networking sites and what you did about it
4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
List all of the equipment you used and how it helped you – what would you have had to do if you didn’t have access to it? Include screengrabs of the programmes you used.
You must answer all of the questions in as much detail as possible.
You should include a variety of different ways to answer your questions as you will be assessed on your presentation e.g. screengrabs, scribd, director’s commentary, JPEG files, slideshare etc

Social Male roles and David Gilmore
David Gilmore Noticed the following social roles that men were encouraged to play. If they were succesfull the men won status and respect from other males, and women were attracted to them, if they failed, they suffered scron and found it hard to get a sexual partner.
He split the roles into three:
Man the Impregnator: Ladies Man
Man the Provider: Family Man
Man the Protector: Protector of his family and friends
A man that fits all three catagories is Bruce Wayne from The DC Comics and Films.
Role as The Impregnator: Bruce has to keep up appearances when he is not being The Batman so cretes an alternate persona of being a ladies man and play boy millionaire.
Role as The Provider: Bruce provides Dick Grayson (The First Robin, and future Nightwing and Batman)with a home after his parents are murdered during there circus act on the trapeze and Bruce adopts him as his own son. Giving him a home and a future.
Role as The Protector: Bruce protects Dick when he becomes Robin as well as protecting the people of Gotham city from corruption and crime.
