Presentation


This is question 4 and is still in development, I have added more interactive links in and also photo's. This is to keep the reader engaged, and also transitions have been added to keep it more entertaining.

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

In the modern day film industry, films promote themselves by using additional texts such as posters and magazine pieces. Two of the texts that we created, a poster and magazine had to compliment our trailer to promote it, and therefore had to link together to create a successful synergy between them.

Our poster is effective as it doesn't create a clear image of what the film is about, and creates a sense of mystery. This is good because our film is of the horror/mystery genre, and by not giving too much away would draw the audience in. Our poster links to the trailer by use of font, colour and the lack of clearness about the film.

Our magazine front cover also highlighted the genre and ideas surrounding our trailer. By including an image of ourselves as the actors and crew of the film, we portrayed the idea that it was a guerilla film. We also used general key elements from the horror genre to illustrate that our film is from the horror genre.
