2. Keeping a similar font type throughout the
film package is very important in the
successful marketing of a film – this helps the
audience recognise the brand and associate
this with the film.
3. Psychological thrillers represent a kind of
hyper-reality – extreme cases of
psychological disturbance and their effects.
This kind of representation is expected by the
audience, who will have chosen to watch a
psychological thriller due to this. This
representation has to be maintained
throughout the package to make it a
coherent product.
4. Using an institution that is well known for the
genre of film you are producing – in our
case, a psychological thriller – is important in
creating a coherent product. Audience
expectations of a certain company will help a
product sell – if a company has a large
audience already built up because of popular
films, a new product is much more likely to be
successful.
5. The narrative needs to be one that is shown
coherently through the package – having a
poster that is in no way linked to the trailer
for a film will confuse the audience and mean
they cannot identify with the film across
media platforms, meaning that the film
package is not going to be successful.
6. The audience help to create a coherent
product because their expectations are
outlined before production through their
reactions to similar media products. It is clear
that their needs to be a strong motif
throughout the package, so that the audience
can link the media products together.
