From all of my 3 pieces of work, I tried to make the focus on the blurring of lines to whether Josh is a hero or a villain. A constant theme through all the three products is Josh looking battered, drugged and weak... yet keeping an eerie and underlying mystery surrounding the character. This portrayal remains throughout, by using the same battered and distressed look in each media product yet creating dark shadows and strong poses suggesting otherwise. This remains the same constant mystery around the character in each media piece.
Good vs. Bad
We can see that in the trailer, Abbie (the main female character) is distressed and looking for Josh and is suspicious but is the only one still searching. She is represented as the good character throughout the trailer. The audience don't see who is bad or 'the villain' as the media products create ambiguity around whether Josh is bad or good and there is also other characters present in the trailer such as Amy (other female character) and Luke (the other male character) which is unknown whether they are good or bad.
Colour/Lighting
The colour and lighting is very dark/low key in all 3 pieces. The Film Magazine Cover is slightly lighter, but this is because of the nature of the magazine which is about the film and the actor; but it still remains eerie and dark. Colours used throughout are Green tinges and Red enhancements of all three products (Green is a theme of the footage of Josh in the Trailer, there is a very slight tint of green on the Film Magazine Cover, the blood red is enhanced on the Film Magazine Cover, Red is common throughout the trailer including the title, Red is a main cover on my Film Poster).
Location
The location is frequent in all three pieces, Josh is inside/near a brick building.
Text
The texts are all relevant throughout and remain similar. The text is different on the Film Magazine Cover, however the colours Red, Black and White relate it back to the Film Poster and Film Trailer. The text for 'DISCONNECTED' is always capitalised and bold.
