All the products made all are similar in terms of mise en scene, they all have the same font and text
style for the title which allows the audience to know it is from the same film. We decided to keep the
same text as it helps with the branding of our work to make it all look apart of the same product, also
we were really happy with the outcome of the title as it fits the horror genre and also has a old tv grain
effect on it which works really well, it's definitely original which is what we liked about it so used it on all
3 products We also kept it white as it helps contrast against the black background.

3. We also have included the same mask concept idea to help illustrate them film to the audience to allow them to
know they all come together and compliment one another. We decided to keep the mask idea in all three products
mainly for the branding of it as this is the main selling point for our project. In the poster we decided to show a
contrast between the plain mask and the blood mask to show two sides of a killer to help illustrate our catch
phrase 'there's always a darker side' which we felt worked really well, but on the poster we deicded to keep it more
simple and show just one side of the killer, as the red contrasts the white mask we felt this worked really well with
the 'Empire' title behind her head.

4. Throughout the trailer and used for writing on the posters
and magazine's we used the red colours to help the genre
come through to the audience throughout to suggest the
horror/murder theme. The red is used only for one section of
the trailer, this is to show contrast between the white writing
seeming all innocent at the beginning of the trailer but then at
the end turning red to show jealousy and danger. The poster
has only small sections of red to just add snippets of horror to
it and also it works with the black and white with red.

5. COMPARING ALL THE PRODUCTS
the poster
I feel they all work really well together and definitely look they are from the same film. The only noticeable difference
is that the magazine is a lot lighter than the other products; this was done for effect as when we made it darker it
looked over the top and ruined the effect of it, unfortunately it doesn't bring the same horror feeling as the others but
we did this as it looked more effective lighter as when made dark it washed out all the features on our magazine so we
decided we'd leave it a bit lighter, I do however still think it works.
