Evaluation question 2
- 1. HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN PRODUCT AND THE ANCILLARY TEXTS? By Owen Chapman
- 2. THE GOAL • Our film aimed to establish itself as a successful example of a psychological thriller film. Throughout it, we reinforce the idea that the film is meant to make the audience feel suspense and tension. The film does this by conveying quite disturbing and traumatic themes and concepts. These themes are typical of a thriller film, therefore this is the reason we included these particular themes, as we felt that we could express these themes in a new, unique way.
- 5. ANALYSIS OF RADIO TRAILER • Our radio trailer has features included, that are typical of other radio trailers. These features include; music, voice over (with details on the film in terms of cast and crew), sound effects and dialogue from the film. This is the usual structure of a radio trailer, as it helps to provide the necessary information to the audience, without revealing to much and therefore becoming enticing. • The music used in a radio trailer helps to convey the tone of the film to the audience, allowing them to infer the genre of the film and then decide whether or not they wish to see the film. • The voice over gives the important information such as the release date, age rating etc. This again gives the audience the decision to see the film or not based on the information they have gathered from the trailer.
- 6. ANCILLARY TEXTS • To reflect our themes into our film poster, we used reviews that described our film as “intense and thrilling.” These descriptions accurately summarise the aims of our film and what we transferred into both our film poster and radio trailer. • Our film poster takes inspiration from early horror Giallo films like ‘Suspiria’ and ‘The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.’ These poster inspired ours for the font style, being ‘serif’ in terms of the graphology of the text. The red is also used to symbolise blood and danger, linking to the typical conventions of the genre I am attempting to convey.
- 7. OTHER ANCILLARY TEXTS • The poster we created also reflects this poster of Nosferatu in the visual aspects. For instance, the poster itself being landscape rather than, like most posters being portrait. The imagery of the poster is also like ours with the character in the centre of the poster. • The religious imagery form our poster is an intertextual reference to this poster with the door, usually being seen in churches due to it’s unique shape.
- 8. CONCLUSION • Our radio trailer and film poster help to advertise the film we have created, as it accurately illustrates the themes and messages of our film, as stated by a sample of our audience who have seen our poster and radio trailer. Therefore the audience can identify what type of film we have made. Both the trailer and poster contribute in marketing our film, that is of the psychological thriller genre, to attract the most amount of viewers as possible.
