2. When looking at my trailer, magazine poster and film poster it is easy to
establish a number of similarities. For instance on the cover of my film poster I
have placed the main protagonist from my trailer as the main image so that the
audience are instantly able to establish a connection between the two.
3. On my magazine poster on the other hand I have used an image of the antagonist
within the trailer which was taken from one of the scenes which is within my trailer,
from doing this it is easier when establishing the connection between the two as the
same image is being used.
By doing this I am making it clear to the audience that these two covers are a
representation of my film trailer ‘The Shadows’ and will hopefully be a way in which I
would also be able to generate more interest into my film poster.
4. Another way in which it has been effectively connected would be through the
use of colour for the titles in which I have been able to use within my
trailer, poster and magazine.
An example of this would be that on my magazine cover when using the title of
the movie “The Shadows” I have specifically chosen to use a red font as it is
often a colour in which symbolises blood which is one of the conventions of a
horror film. Therefore I tried to use a darker shade of red in order to make it
resemble the colour in which blood would be and create a scarier effect.
5. Likewise on my film poster I also used the colour red when creating “The Shadows”
titles, however as the colour of the background image is much brighter if I was just to
use red as I have on the magazine cover it would be harder to see and therefore the
main colour in which I had used is white with red as a shadow colour so that I am still
able to create the same effect.
To match these I have then again made sure that when writing the title of my film within
the trail I used the same red colour so that the link is able to be established and I am also
able to comply to the conventions of a horror.
I also wanted to make sure that the fonts that I would use when wanting to display the
title of my film/trailer was also able to display a scary type font so that the audience are
easily able to establish the genre of the film from the way in which the titles were simply
written.
6. I also think that the location in which I had used is another link between my final three
products., this being because it features on each; poster, magazine and trailer.
The majority of my trailer is based within the woods and
therefore when wanting to create the link between my
poster and magazine cover I decided to use it as the back
ground too.
On my poster is obvious to see that my protagonist is in
the woods from the setting of my trailer as she is
standing by a tree just like she is within the
trailer, surrounded by trees and a lake behind her.
Similarly within my poster the protagonist is shown standing near a lake, which is also
an imagine from footage which has been shown within my trailer allowing audiences
to establish the link between them.
By being able to have the relationship between my three final products in which I
have made ; poster, trailer and magazine cover. I am allowing the audience to see the
different view points of what the whole film was to look like when It is finished as
well as hopefully persuading them into wanting to watch it which is a good way to
contact my target audience and get their attenetion.
