I

  a

  of	
  two

  the

Using	
  magazines	
  to	
  market	
  my	
  film	
  is	
  a	
  good	
  way	
  because	
  the	
  target	
  
audiences	
  are	
  likely	
  to	
  buy	
  and	
  read	
  magazines	
  that	
  promotes	
  a	
  horror	
  film.	
  
The	
  synergy	
  exis6ng	
  between	
  my	
  trailer,	
  magazine	
  and	
  poster	
  are:	
  
character,	
  colour	
  scheme	
  and	
  language.

Color scheme
•  The	
  color	
  scheme	
  of	
  red,	
  white	
  and	
  black	
  is	
  applied	
  to	
  the	
  poster	
  and	
  trailer	
  
more	
  than	
  the	
  magazine	
  front	
  cover.	
  The	
  6tles	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  are	
  black	
  and	
  white	
  
with	
  a	
  red	
  and	
  black	
  background.	
  In	
  the	
  poster,	
  the	
  main	
  colors	
  used	
  are:	
  red,	
  
white	
  and	
  black.	
  However,	
  in	
  the	
  magazine	
  front	
  cover	
  there	
  is	
  the	
  color	
  scheme	
  
of	
  red,	
  black	
  and	
  white	
  but	
  it	
  is	
  not	
  as	
  obvious	
  as	
  the	
  poster	
  and	
  trailer.	
  This	
  may	
  
be	
  because	
  there	
  are	
  other	
  colors	
  as	
  well,	
  which	
  makes	
  the	
  color	
  scheme	
  not	
  
stand	
  out	
  as	
  much	
  as	
  in	
  the	
  poster	
  and	
  trailer.

How	
  effec6ve	
  have	
  I	
  been	
  in	
  showing	
  a	
  link	
  between	
  the	
  magazine,	
  poster	
  and	
  trailer	
  
The	
  link	
  between	
  the	
  three	
  texts,	
  
including	
  trailer,	
  poster	
  and	
  magazine	
  
are	
  effec6ve	
  to	
  a	
  certain	
  extent,	
  as	
  there	
  
are	
  limita6ons	
  and	
  strengths.	
  
The	
  tagline	
  has	
  been	
  effec6ve	
  as	
  it	
  is	
  present	
  in	
  the	
  trailer,	
  magazine	
  and	
  poster,	
  even	
  though	
  it	
  may	
  not	
  be	
  as	
  obvious	
  
in	
  the	
  magazine	
  and	
  trailer	
  than	
  it	
  is	
  in	
  the	
  poster.	
  
The	
  tagline	
  in	
  the	
  poster	
  is	
  at	
  the	
  top	
  and	
  is	
  in	
  a	
  different	
  colour.	
  This	
  is	
  effec6ve	
  because	
  the	
  audience	
  can	
  clearly	
  
iden6fy	
  the	
  tagline	
  and	
  it	
  will	
  help	
  them	
  remember	
  it.	
  The	
  tagline	
  is	
  important	
  because	
  it	
  helps	
  the	
  audience	
  
understand	
  the	
  phrase	
  that	
  sums	
  up	
  the	
  story	
  of	
  the	
  film.	
  
The	
  tagline	
  of	
  the	
  magazine	
  is	
  not	
  clear	
  so	
  the	
  audience	
  would	
  struggle	
  to	
  iden6fy	
  the	
  tagline	
  and	
  this	
  is	
  a	
  limita6on.	
  An	
  
improvement	
  can	
  be	
  to	
  change	
  the	
  colour	
  and	
  the	
  font	
  so	
  it	
  is	
  the	
  same	
  as	
  the	
  tagline	
  in	
  the	
  poster.	
  This	
  would	
  be	
  
beIer	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  link	
  the	
  magazine	
  with	
  the	
  poster	
  and	
  trailer.	
  	
  
The	
  tagline	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  is	
  also	
  not	
  clear	
  but	
  would	
  be	
  difficult	
  because	
  there	
  are	
  other	
  important	
  texts.	
  In	
  other	
  
trailers,	
  all	
  of	
  the	
  texts	
  are	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  form.	
  
How	
  effec6ve	
  have	
  I	
  been	
  in	
  showing

TAGLINE

Text	
  in	
  the	
  magazine	
  
The	
  poster	
  and	
  magazine	
  has	
  the	
  same	
  character	
  as	
  the	
  main	
  image	
  and	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  the	
  killer	
  is	
  shown	
  the	
  most.	
  This	
  
helps	
  create	
  a	
  link	
  between	
  them	
  because	
  they	
  all	
  have	
  the	
  main	
  character	
  as	
  the	
  main	
  feature.	
  
	
  
In	
  the	
  poster	
  and	
  magazine	
  image,	
  the	
  killer	
  has	
  blood	
  on	
  her	
  face	
  and	
  there	
  is	
  an	
  effect	
  being	
  used	
  and	
  this	
  creates	
  a	
  
tense	
  atmosphere.	
  In	
  the	
  trailer,	
  there	
  are	
  a	
  couple	
  scene	
  where	
  the	
  killer	
  has	
  blood	
  on	
  her	
  face	
  and	
  this	
  shows	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  
connec6on	
  between	
  the	
  film	
  poster	
  and	
  the	
  trailer.	
  
	
  
Another	
  connec6on	
  is	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  the	
  killer	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  always	
  wears	
  black	
  and	
  has	
  her	
  hair	
  in	
  front	
  of	
  her.	
  In	
  the	
  film	
  
poster	
  and	
  magazine,	
  the	
  killer	
  wears	
  a	
  black	
  top	
  and	
  her	
  hair	
  covers	
  some	
  of	
  her	
  face.

In	
  the	
  trailer	
  the	
  character’s	
  shown	
  are:	
  the	
  killer,	
  the	
  killer’s	
  daughter,	
  the	
  daughter’s	
  friends	
  when	
  they	
  were	
  
young	
  and	
  when	
  they	
  have	
  grown	
  to	
  a	
  teenager.	
  In	
  the	
  poster	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  men6on	
  of	
  the	
  other	
  stock	
  
characters,	
  but	
  in	
  the	
  magazine	
  the	
  killer’s	
  daughter	
  is	
  hinted	
  by	
  the	
  text	
  “when	
  a	
  mother’s	
  love	
  goes	
  too	
  far,	
  
who	
  will	
  bare	
  the	
  pain”	
  and	
  this	
  suggests	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  daughter	
  and	
  mother	
  rela6onship	
  that	
  is	
  shown	
  in	
  the	
  
trailer	
  when	
  the	
  mother	
  thinks	
  of	
  the	
  good	
  and	
  bad	
  moments.	
  One	
  of	
  the	
  bad	
  moments	
  of	
  their	
  rela6onship	
  is	
  
established	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  by	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  shou6ng	
  at	
  each	
  other.	
  The	
  argument	
  demonstrates	
  that	
  the	
  mother	
  is	
  
being	
  over	
  protec6ve	
  and	
  loves	
  her	
  daughter	
  a	
  lot,	
  which	
  links	
  with

TRAILER	
  
The	
  narra6ve	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  is	
  shown	
  through	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  texts,	
  sounds	
  and	
  various	
  shots.	
  
The	
  text	
  in	
  the	
  trailer	
  plays	
  a	
  role	
  in	
  understanding	
  the	
  narra6ve	
  because	
  it	
  helps	
  unfold	
  the	
  story	
  by	
  hin6ng	
  what	
  will	
  
happen,	
  such	
  as	
  the	
  text	
  ‘it	
  can	
  kill’	
  implies	
  that	
  there	
  would	
  be	
  killings	
  involved	
  in	
  the	
  story.	
  
The	
  use	
  of	
  sound	
  takes	
  part	
  in	
  the	
  narra6ve	
  as	
  sounds	
  have	
  meaning,	
  for	
  instance	
  in	
  my	
  trailer	
  there	
  are	
  screaming	
  
sounds	
  that	
  suggests	
  anger	
  and	
  pain.	
  This	
  links	
  with	
  the	
  text	
  of	
  ‘6me	
  passes	
  but	
  pain	
  doesn’t’,	
  as	
  the	
  screaming	
  sound	
  
implies	
  the	
  killers	
  pain	
  did	
  not	
  go	
  away.	
  The	
  sudden	
  sound	
  we	
  hear	
  when	
  the	
  audience	
  sees	
  the	
  killer	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  shot	
  
as	
  the	
  vic6ms	
  plays	
  a	
  role	
  in	
  the	
  narra6ve,	
  as	
  it	
  implies	
  something	
  dangerous	
  would	
  occur.	
  This	
  helps	
  the	
  narra6ve	
  
unfold	
  because	
  the	
  story	
  of	
  the	
  trailer	
  is	
  about	
  dangerous	
  behaviour.	
  	
  
The	
  shots	
  of	
  the	
  killings	
  help	
  unfold	
  the	
  story	
  because	
  it	
  suggests	
  that	
  there	
  would	
  be	
  killings	
  happening.	
  This	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  
narra6ve	
  helps	
  the	
  audience	
  realise	
  that	
  the	
  film	
  is	
  a	
  slasher	
  horror.	
  	
  
The	
  audiences	
  link	
  the

  to

MAGAZINE	
  
In	
  the	
  magazine	
  the	
  image,	
  texts	
  and	
  colours	
  helps	
  the	
  story	
  unfold.	
  
The	
  text,	
  such	
  as	
  ‘when	
  a	
  mothers	
  love	
  goes	
  too	
  far	
  who	
  will	
  bare	
  the	
  pain?’,	
  implies	
  that	
  the	
  
film	
  is	
  about	
  a	
  mother’s	
  love	
  and	
  how	
  she	
  is	
  overprotec6ve.	
  This	
  therefore	
  makes	
  the	
  
audience	
  think	
  about	
  the	
  narra6ve.	
  
The	
  image	
  is	
  similar	
  to	
  the	
  poster’s	
  image	
  so	
  has	
  the	
  same	
  narra6ve	
  hint,	
  including	
  the	
  facial	
  
expression	
  and	
  blood.	
  
The	
  main	
  colour	
  used	
  is	
  black,	
  which	
  connotes	
  danger.	
  By	
  this,	
  the	
  audience	
  would	
  know	
  that	
  
the	
  film	
  is	
  horror.

POSTER	
  
In	
  the	
  poster	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  colours,	
  image	
  and	
  texts	
  helps	
  the	
  narra6ve.	
  
The	
  main	
  colour	
  used	
  in	
  the	
  poster	
  is	
  red,	
  which	
  implies	
  danger	
  and	
  threat	
  and	
  this	
  helps	
  the	
  story	
  unfold	
  because	
  the	
  
audiences	
  are	
  aware	
  that	
  the	
  story	
  would	
  about	
  death	
  and	
  pain.	
  The	
  colour	
  red	
  makes	
  the	
  poster	
  appear	
  horrific	
  and	
  
builds	
  a	
  tense	
  atmosphere	
  as	
  red	
  connotes	
  blood.	
  	
  
The	
  image	
  helps	
  unfold	
  the	
  story	
  because	
  the	
  character’s	
  facial	
  expression	
  implies	
  that	
  the	
  story	
  is	
  about	
  something	
  
serious,	
  such	
  as	
  death.	
  Even	
  though	
  the	
  image	
  has	
  effects	
  on	
  it,	
  it	
  is	
  clear	
  that	
  the	
  character	
  has	
  blood	
  on	
  her	
  face	
  and	
  
this	
  implies	
  the	
  story	
  will	
  be	
  about	
  death.	
  
The	
  texts	
  in	
  the	
  poster	
  help	
  unfold	
  the	
  story	
  because	
  they	
  give	
  hints	
  about	
  what	
  the	
  film	
  will	
  be	
  about,	
  such	
  as	
  the	
  
tagline,	
  “6me	
  passes	
  but	
  pain	
  doesn’t”	
  suggests	
  the	
  story	
  will	
  be	
  about	
  a	
  pain	
  will	
  remain	
  for	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  someone’s	
  life.

Narra6ve

  about	
  and	
  discourse	
  are	
  the	
  
things	
  being	
  discussed.	
  These	
  terms	
  of	
  narra6ve	
  are	
  
important	
  because	
  it	
  helps	
  the	
  audience	
  create	
  a	
  
meaningful	
  story	
  so	
  they	
  can	
  interpret	
  it	
  the	
  way	
  they	
  like.	
  
Narra6ve	
  
The	
  narra6ve	
  structure	
  is	
  also	
  significant	
  as	
  it	
  determines	
  whether	
  the	
  audiences	
  understand	
  
what	
  is	
  going	
  on	
  and	
  it	
  allows	
  them	
  to	
  create	
  different	
  meanings	
  as	
  they	
  would	
  interpret	
  it	
  
differently.	
  Narra6ve	
  differs	
  between	
  two	
  structures	
  that	
  are	
  open	
   and	
  closed.	
  Open	
  and	
  
closed	
   narra6ve	
   is	
   different	
   at	
   the	
   end,	
   where	
   open	
   narra6ve	
   has	
   an	
   unfinished	
   story	
   or	
  
cli[anger	
  and	
  this	
  therefore	
  leads	
  to	
  a	
  franchise,	
  as	
  there	
  are	
  more	
  to	
  the	
  story	
  being	
  told.	
  
The	
  audiences	
  are	
  more	
  likely	
  to	
  have	
  more	
  ques6ons	
  in	
  an	
  open	
  narra6ve	
  than	
  closed,	
  as	
  
the	
  way	
  they	
  view	
  open	
  and	
  closed	
  would	
  be	
  different.	
  	
  
On	
   the	
   other	
   hand,	
   closed	
   narra6ve	
   has	
   a	
   finished	
   story,	
   for	
   instance	
   the	
   enemies	
   are	
  
overcame	
  and	
  normality	
  is	
  restored.	
  There	
  are	
  a	
  variety	
  of	
  successful	
  film	
  campaigns	
  that	
  
have	
  open	
  and	
  closed	
  narra6ves.	
  
My	
  trailer	
  is	
  closed	
  because	
  the	
  story	
  is	
  finished	
  and	
  there	
  are	
  no	
  cli[angers.	
  Even	
  though	
  
closed	
  and	
  open	
  narra6ve	
  film	
  campaign	
  are	
  both	
  successful,	
  it	
  has	
  been	
  argued	
  that	
  open	
  
narra6ve	
  may	
  be	
  more	
  effec6ve	
  than	
  closed	
  narra6ve.	
  This	
  is	
  because	
  the	
  target	
  audiences	
  
for	
  open	
  narra6ves	
  are	
  broader	
  as	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  new	
  audience	
  for	
  each	
  film	
  in	
  the	
  franchise.	
  	
  
Narra6ve	
  
Narra6ve	
  is	
  important	
  because	
  it	
  helps	
  us	
  understand	
  how	
  to	
  behave;	
  as	
  there	
  are	
  
moral	
  guidelines	
  and	
  can	
  differ	
  according	
  to	
  the	
  genre.	
  Depending	
  on	
  the	
  genre,	
  
narra6ves	
  can	
  almost	
  be	
  predictable,	
  such	
  as	
  the	
  plots	
  and	
  stock	
  situa6ons.	
  In	
  a	
  
typical	
  horror	
  film,	
  a	
  character	
  goes	
  to	
  the	
  kitchen	
  and	
  gets	
  killed.	
  However,	
  it	
  can	
  be	
  
argued	
  that	
  real	
  life	
  is	
  not	
  like	
  what	
  we	
  see	
  in	
  the	
  movies,	
  so	
  should	
  not	
  be	
  taken	
  
seriously	
  so	
  cannot	
  teach	
  us	
  human	
  behavior.	
  
The	
  audiences	
  would	
  interpret	
  what	
  they	
  see	
  differently	
  and	
  they	
  decide	
  whether	
  
they	
  are	
  a	
  passive	
  or	
  ac6ve	
  audience.	
  
My	
  trailer	
  challenges	
  this	
  because	
  the	
  vic6ms	
  are	
  not	
  killed	
  because	
  they	
  are	
  doing	
  
something	
  wrong,	
  instead	
  they	
  are	
  being	
  killed	
  for	
  being	
  friends	
  with	
  Kelsie.	
  This	
  is	
  
demonstrated	
  through	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  medium	
  shot	
  of	
  Kelsie	
  and	
  her	
  friends	
  playing	
  ringa	
  
ringa	
  roses,	
  which	
  implies	
  that	
  they	
  are	
  having	
  a	
  nice	
  6me	
  together.	
  This	
  is	
  shown	
  
when	
  Lilith	
  is	
  thinking	
  of	
  bad	
  6mes	
  with	
  Kelsie,	
  which	
  involves	
  Kelsie’s	
  6me	
  with	
  her	
  
friends.	
  This	
  outlines	
  that	
  Lilith	
  does	
  not	
  like	
  Kelsie’s	
  friends.	
  
Narra6ve	
  
Barthes	
  puts	
  forward	
  that	
  there	
  are	
  enigma	
  and	
  ac6on	
  codes	
  that	
  helps	
  the	
  story	
  unfold.	
  Ac6on	
  codes	
  are	
  the	
  
character’s	
  movement	
  that	
  helps	
  the	
  story	
  move	
  on	
  and	
  usually	
  hints	
  something	
  and	
  enigma	
  codes	
  are	
  the	
  
puzzles	
  that	
  are	
  le_	
  with	
  the	
  audience	
  to	
  ac6vely	
  work	
  out.	
  The	
  audiences	
  may	
  interpret	
  meanings	
  differently,	
  so	
  
for	
  each	
  audience	
  there	
  would	
  a	
  different	
  experience	
  with	
  different	
  ques6ons	
  and	
  problems	
  to	
  be	
  solved.	
  	
  
Barthes	
  theory	
  can	
  be	
  applied	
  to	
  my	
  film	
  campaign	
  because	
  my	
  trailer	
  contains	
  enigma	
  and	
  ac6on	
  codes	
  and	
  an	
  
example	
  of	
  an	
  ac6on	
  code	
  is	
  when	
  the	
  knife	
  drops	
  on	
  the	
  floor.	
  The	
  audiences	
  would	
  realize	
  that	
  someone	
  is	
  
hurt	
  because	
  a	
  knife	
  with	
  blood	
  connotes	
  death,	
  as	
  as	
  the	
  knife	
  that	
  was	
  used	
  is	
  shown	
  as	
  a	
  weapon	
  for	
  killing.	
  
This	
  links	
  with	
  enigma	
  codes	
  because	
  the	
  knife	
  dropping	
  le_	
  answers	
  for	
  the	
  audience,	
  such	
  as	
  the	
  purpose	
  of	
  
the	
  killing.	
  Another	
  ac6on	
  codes	
  that	
  leads	
  to	
  enigma	
  codes	
  is	
  the	
  side	
  view	
  of	
  the	
  killer	
  stabbing	
  the	
  image	
  with	
  
a	
  knife.	
  This	
  ac6on	
  implies	
  that	
  the	
  killer	
  is	
  angry	
  with	
  the	
  people	
  in	
  the	
  image	
  and	
  leads	
  the	
  audience	
  to	
  
ques6on	
  the	
  reason	
  and	
  who	
  the	
  people	
  in	
  the	
  image	
  are.	
  An	
  enigma	
  code	
  that	
  is	
  le_	
  with	
  the	
  audience	
  is	
  the	
  
ques6on	
  of	
  who	
  survives,	
  which	
  persuades	
  them	
  to	
  watch	
  the	
  film	
  because	
  they	
  would	
  want	
  answers	
  for	
  their	
  
ques6ons.	
  
Another	
  ac6on	
  code	
  is	
  when	
  the	
  killer	
  cuts	
  her	
  face,	
  which	
  makes	
  the	
  audience	
  think	
  that	
  she	
  is	
  mentally	
  unwell.	
  
This	
  leads	
  to	
  enigma	
  code	
  because	
  it	
  makes	
  the	
  audience	
  wonder	
  why	
  the	
  killer	
  is	
  so	
  angry	
  at	
  Kelsie’s	
  friends.	
  	
  
Narra6ve	
  
Levi-­‐Strauss	
  put	
  forward	
  the	
  idea	
  that	
  narra6ves	
  are	
  built	
  around	
  binary	
  opposites	
  that	
  keep	
  the	
  story	
  moving	
  
forward	
  and	
  is	
  useful,	
  as	
  it	
  links	
  with	
  my	
  trailer.	
  
In	
  my	
  trailer,	
  there	
  are	
  ranges	
  of	
  binary	
  opposites,	
  such	
  as	
  young	
  and	
  old.	
  This	
  is	
  shown	
  through	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  video	
  
effects	
  between	
  the	
  shot	
  of	
  the	
  young	
  children	
  walking	
  down	
  the	
  stairs	
  and	
  then	
  the	
  teenagers	
  walking	
  down	
  the	
  
same	
  stairs.	
  The	
  video	
  effect	
  was	
  effec6ve	
  because	
  it	
  juxtaposes	
  the	
  shots	
  and	
  shows	
  how	
  6me	
  passes.	
  
Another	
  binary	
  opposite	
  in	
  my	
  trailer	
  is	
  life	
  and	
  death.	
  Life	
  is	
  shown	
  when	
  the	
  vic6ms	
  are	
  not	
  aware	
  they	
  are	
  
going	
  to	
  be	
  killed	
  and	
  death	
  is	
  shown	
  when	
  the	
  audiences	
  see	
  the	
  knife,	
  which	
  shows	
  that	
  they	
  are	
  dead.	
  
A	
  binary	
  opposite	
  that	
  has	
  been	
  shown	
  in	
  my	
  trailer	
  is	
  love	
  and	
  anger,	
  which	
  is	
  shown	
  through	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  sound.	
  
At	
  the	
  start,	
  Lilith	
  shows	
  her	
  love	
  to	
  Kelsie	
  by	
  talking	
  to	
  her	
  in	
  a	
  nice	
  way	
  but	
  then	
  Lilith	
  starts	
  to	
  think	
  of	
  bad	
  
6mes	
  with	
  Kelsie,	
  such	
  as	
  when	
  Lilith	
  thinks	
  Kelsie	
  loves	
  her	
  friends	
  more	
  than	
  her	
  mum.	
  Lilith’s	
  anger	
  is	
  shown	
  by	
  
her	
  tone	
  of	
  voice,	
  which	
  sounds	
  furious	
  because	
  she	
  is	
  shou6ng.	
  
Narra6ve	
  
Unlike	
  Barthes	
  and	
  Levi-­‐Strauss,	
  there	
  are	
  theories	
  that	
  are	
  less	
  
likely	
  to	
  apply	
  to	
  my	
  trailer,	
  such	
  as	
  Todorov.	
  Todorov’s	
  theory	
  
is	
  the	
  idea	
  that	
  there	
  is	
  an	
  order	
  of	
  narra6ve,	
  which	
  is	
  all	
  
narra6ves	
  start	
  with	
  a	
  balance	
  then	
  there	
  are	
  opposing	
  forces	
  
which	
  is	
  then	
  disrupted.	
  The	
  problem	
  is	
  being	
  solved	
  and	
  there	
  
is	
  a	
  new	
  but	
  different	
  equilibrium.	
  In	
  my	
  trailer,	
  I	
  can	
  iden6fy	
  
the	
  balance,	
  which	
  is	
  when	
  the	
  killer	
  is	
  calmly	
  thinking	
  of	
  the	
  
good	
  memories	
  of	
  her	
  daughter,	
  as	
  every	
  one	
  would	
  want	
  to	
  
remember	
  someone	
  they	
  love	
  in	
  a	
  posi6ve	
  way.	
  In	
  my	
  trailer,	
  it	
  
is	
  difficult	
  to	
  iden6fy	
  the	
  new	
  but	
  different	
  equilibrium	
  because	
  
the	
  ending	
  of	
  my	
  trailer	
  is	
  the	
  event	
  of	
  a	
  killing.	
  This	
  therefore	
  
means	
  Todorov’s	
  theory	
  of	
  narra6ve	
  does	
  not	
  apply	
  to	
  my	
  
trailer.	
  Perhaps	
  it	
  is	
  because	
  the	
  narra6ve	
  of	
  the	
  film	
  would	
  be	
  
clearer	
  as	
  the	
  trailer	
  is	
  le_	
  with	
  ques6ons	
  and	
  does	
  not	
  show	
  
the	
  ending.	
  	
  
Genre	
  
There	
  are	
  a	
  variety	
  of	
  strengths	
  and	
  weaknesses	
  of	
  genre	
  in	
  films	
  to	
  
both	
  the	
  ins6tu6ons	
  and	
  audiences.	
  A	
  problem	
  of	
  genre	
  is	
  that	
  it	
  does	
  
not	
  fit	
  in	
  neatly	
  into	
  one	
  category,	
  which	
  is	
  a	
  problem	
  because	
  the	
  
audiences	
  may	
  be	
  confused	
  what	
  genre	
  it	
  is.	
  However,	
  subgenres	
  help	
  
films	
  to	
  fit	
  in	
  the	
  correct	
  category.	
  An	
  advantage	
  for	
  ins6tu6ons	
  is	
  that	
  
it	
  is	
  less	
  of	
  a	
  risk	
  as	
  the	
  audiences	
  has	
  consumed	
  it	
  before.	
  They	
  would	
  
know	
  what	
  genres	
  are	
  in	
  trend	
  and	
  produce	
  films	
  according	
  to	
  this.	
  An	
  
advantage	
  of	
  genre	
  to	
  audiences	
  is	
  that	
  they	
  have	
  certain	
  expecta6ons	
  
in	
  each	
  genre,	
  for	
  example	
  in	
  horror	
  films	
  the	
  audiences	
  would	
  expect	
  
to	
  see	
  blood	
  and	
  gore.	
  Even	
  though	
  the	
  audiences	
  interprets	
  meaning	
  
differently,	
  the	
  basic	
  codes	
  and	
  conven6ons	
  must	
  be	
  present	
  in	
  order	
  
for	
  the	
  audiences	
  to	
  understand	
  what	
  genre	
  the	
  film	
  is.	
  
These	
  expecta6ons	
  are	
  also	
  demonstrated	
  by	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  trailers,	
  
magazines	
  and	
  posters.	
  In	
  my	
  film	
  campaign,	
  I	
  have	
  included	
  codes	
  
and	
  conven6on	
  appropriate	
  to	
  the	
  horror	
  genre	
  and	
  an	
  example	
  is	
  
the	
  use	
  of	
  blood	
  in	
  the	
  magazine,	
  poster	
  and	
  trailer	
  that	
  implies	
  
that	
  the	
  film	
  is	
  horror.	
  Codes	
  and	
  conven6ons	
  are	
  significant	
  
because	
  it	
  helps	
  the	
  audience	
  understand	
  what	
  type	
  of	
  film	
  it	
  is	
  but	
  
according	
  to	
  Neale,	
  there	
  must	
  be	
  repe66on	
  and	
  varia6on	
  in	
  order	
  
for	
  the	
  audience	
  to	
  enjoy	
  the	
  film.	
  
Genre	
  
Neale	
  puts	
  forward	
  that	
  the	
  codes	
  and	
  conven6ons	
  must	
  repeat	
  and	
  vary	
  to	
  a	
  certain	
  extent	
  because	
  if	
  there	
  is	
  too	
  much	
  or	
  
too	
  liIle	
  of	
  varia6on	
  or	
  repe66on	
  then	
  the	
  film	
  would	
  bore	
  the	
  audience.	
  The	
  unbalanced	
  codes	
  and	
  conven6ons	
  would	
  be	
  a	
  
success	
  because	
  the	
  audiences	
  would	
  take	
  pleasure	
  in	
  finding	
  out	
  informa6on	
  for	
  themselves.	
  In	
  slasher	
  horror	
  films,	
  the	
  
audiences	
  would	
  take	
  pleasure	
  in	
  figuring	
  out	
  who	
  the	
  killer	
  is.	
  The	
  audiences	
  would	
  have	
  different	
  experiences	
  with	
  the	
  film	
  
as	
  they	
  interpret	
  meaning	
  differently.	
  
In	
  my	
  film	
  campaign,	
  I	
  have	
  repeated	
  and	
  varied	
  some	
  codes	
  and	
  conven6ons	
  so	
  it	
  does	
  not	
  bore	
  my	
  audience,	
  such	
  as	
  I	
  
repeated	
  the	
  idea	
  of	
  an	
  overprotec6ve	
  mother	
  and	
  this	
  is	
  shown	
  when	
  there	
  is	
  a	
  voiceover	
  at	
  the	
  start,	
  which	
  is	
  the	
  
conversa6on	
  of	
  the	
  mother	
  and	
  daughter.	
  At	
  first,	
  the	
  audience	
  think	
  the	
  mother	
  loves	
  her	
  daughter	
  like	
  every	
  mother	
  does	
  
but	
  when	
  she	
  starts	
  shou6ng	
  at	
  her	
  daughter	
  about	
  not	
  loving	
  her	
  and	
  spending	
  6me	
  with	
  her,	
  they	
  realise	
  her	
  love	
  is	
  a	
  lot	
  
and	
  is	
  becoming	
  selfish	
  with	
  it.	
  In	
  typical	
  slasher	
  horror	
  films,	
  people	
  die	
  as	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  doing	
  wrong	
  ac6ons,	
  such	
  as	
  drug	
  
taking	
  and	
  lying	
  to	
  parents.	
  However	
  in	
  my	
  film,	
  the	
  people	
  die	
  as	
  a	
  consequence	
  of	
  being	
  friends	
  with	
  the	
  killer’s	
  daughter	
  
and	
  this	
  is	
  different	
  to	
  other	
  horror	
  films.	
  This	
  is	
  shown	
  when	
  the	
  group	
  of

Genre	
  
Burton	
  defines	
  the	
  key	
  elements	
  of	
  genre	
  with	
  the	
  formula:	
  protagonist,	
  stock	
  characters,	
  plots	
  and	
  stock	
  situa6on,	
  iconography,	
  
background	
  and	
  décor	
  and	
  themes.	
  This	
  formula	
  is	
  useful	
  because	
  I	
  can	
  apply	
  it	
  to	
  my	
  own,	
  for	
  example	
  in	
  my	
  trailer,	
  the	
  
protagonist	
  is	
  the	
  killer/mother	
  and	
  this	
  is	
  demonstrated	
  as	
  she	
  is	
  shown

  the	
  6me	
  and	
  is	
  the

  image	
  on

Question 2 media evaluation

  • 1. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
  • 4. Cross  media  convergence  and  synergy  exis6ng  between  my  trailer,  magazine  and  poster   I  used  a  combina6on  of  two  mediums  between  my  trailer,  magazine  and   poster  in  a  successful  way  to  a  certain  extent.  Cross  media  convergence  is   used  between  the  film  and  magazine  industry  in  an  effec6ve  way,  as  the   magazine  front  cover  is  promo6ng  my  film.   Using  magazines  to  market  my  film  is  a  good  way  because  the  target   audiences  are  likely  to  buy  and  read  magazines  that  promotes  a  horror  film.   The  synergy  exis6ng  between  my  trailer,  magazine  and  poster  are:   character,  colour  scheme  and  language.   Magazine’s  name   Title  of  the  film  on   the  magazine  
  • 5. Character •  The  same  character  has  been  used  through  the  trailer,  poster  and   magazine,  which  is  the  killer.  The  killer  has  blood  on  her  face  in  the   poster  and  magazine  and  in  a  part  of  the  trailer,  the  killer  has  blood   on  her  face.  This  clearly  shows  a  link  between  the  poster,  magazine   and  trailer.   Character  in  the  poster   Character  in  the  magazine   A  shot  from  the  trailer  
  • 6. Language •  The  language  throughout  the  poster,  trailer  and  magazine  are  all  the   same.  In  the  poster,  the  text  is  the  tagline,  which  is  also  included  in   the  magazine  and  trailer.  The  other  6tles  in  the  trailer  are  also   present  in  the  magazine,  which  is  shown  below.   Tagline  in  the  poster   Text  in  the  magazine   Text  In  the  trailer  
  • 7. Color scheme •  The  color  scheme  of  red,  white  and  black  is  applied  to  the  poster  and  trailer   more  than  the  magazine  front  cover.  The  6tles  in  the  trailer  are  black  and  white   with  a  red  and  black  background.  In  the  poster,  the  main  colors  used  are:  red,   white  and  black.  However,  in  the  magazine  front  cover  there  is  the  color  scheme   of  red,  black  and  white  but  it  is  not  as  obvious  as  the  poster  and  trailer.  This  may   be  because  there  are  other  colors  as  well,  which  makes  the  color  scheme  not   stand  out  as  much  as  in  the  poster  and  trailer.   Title  in  the  trailer  
  • 8. How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer   The  link  between  the  three  texts,   including  trailer,  poster  and  magazine   are  effec6ve  to  a  certain  extent,  as  there   are  limita6ons  and  strengths.  
  • 9. The  tagline  has  been  effec6ve  as  it  is  present  in  the  trailer,  magazine  and  poster,  even  though  it  may  not  be  as  obvious   in  the  magazine  and  trailer  than  it  is  in  the  poster.   The  tagline  in  the  poster  is  at  the  top  and  is  in  a  different  colour.  This  is  effec6ve  because  the  audience  can  clearly   iden6fy  the  tagline  and  it  will  help  them  remember  it.  The  tagline  is  important  because  it  helps  the  audience   understand  the  phrase  that  sums  up  the  story  of  the  film.   The  tagline  of  the  magazine  is  not  clear  so  the  audience  would  struggle  to  iden6fy  the  tagline  and  this  is  a  limita6on.  An   improvement  can  be  to  change  the  colour  and  the  font  so  it  is  the  same  as  the  tagline  in  the  poster.  This  would  be   beIer  in  order  to  link  the  magazine  with  the  poster  and  trailer.     The  tagline  in  the  trailer  is  also  not  clear  but  would  be  difficult  because  there  are  other  important  texts.  In  other   trailers,  all  of  the  texts  are  in  the  same  form.   How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer?   TAGLINE   Tagline  in  the  poster   Text  in  the  magazine  
  • 10. The  poster  and  magazine  has  the  same  character  as  the  main  image  and  in  the  trailer  the  killer  is  shown  the  most.  This   helps  create  a  link  between  them  because  they  all  have  the  main  character  as  the  main  feature.     In  the  poster  and  magazine  image,  the  killer  has  blood  on  her  face  and  there  is  an  effect  being  used  and  this  creates  a   tense  atmosphere.  In  the  trailer,  there  are  a  couple  scene  where  the  killer  has  blood  on  her  face  and  this  shows  there  is  a   connec6on  between  the  film  poster  and  the  trailer.     Another  connec6on  is  the  fact  that  the  killer  in  the  trailer  always  wears  black  and  has  her  hair  in  front  of  her.  In  the  film   poster  and  magazine,  the  killer  wears  a  black  top  and  her  hair  covers  some  of  her  face.       How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer?   STOCK  CHARACTERS   Character  in  the  poster   Character  in  the  magazine   A  shot  from  the  trailer  
  • 11. In  the  trailer  the  character’s  shown  are:  the  killer,  the  killer’s  daughter,  the  daughter’s  friends  when  they  were   young  and  when  they  have  grown  to  a  teenager.  In  the  poster  there  is  no  men6on  of  the  other  stock   characters,  but  in  the  magazine  the  killer’s  daughter  is  hinted  by  the  text  “when  a  mother’s  love  goes  too  far,   who  will  bare  the  pain”  and  this  suggests  there  is  a  daughter  and  mother  rela6onship  that  is  shown  in  the   trailer  when  the  mother  thinks  of  the  good  and  bad  moments.  One  of  the  bad  moments  of  their  rela6onship  is   established  in  the  trailer  by  the  use  of  shou6ng  at  each  other.  The  argument  demonstrates  that  the  mother  is   being  over  protec6ve  and  loves  her  daughter  a  lot,  which  links  with  the  text  as  they  both  show  how  much  the   mother  loves  her  daughter.     How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer?   STOCK  CHARACTERS   Character  in  the  poster   Character  in  the  magazine   A  shot  from  the  trailer  
  • 12. The  narra6ve  is  shown  through  the  trailer,  magazine  and  poster.   TRAILER   The  narra6ve  in  the  trailer  is  shown  through  the  use  of  texts,  sounds  and  various  shots.   The  text  in  the  trailer  plays  a  role  in  understanding  the  narra6ve  because  it  helps  unfold  the  story  by  hin6ng  what  will   happen,  such  as  the  text  ‘it  can  kill’  implies  that  there  would  be  killings  involved  in  the  story.   The  use  of  sound  takes  part  in  the  narra6ve  as  sounds  have  meaning,  for  instance  in  my  trailer  there  are  screaming   sounds  that  suggests  anger  and  pain.  This  links  with  the  text  of  ‘6me  passes  but  pain  doesn’t’,  as  the  screaming  sound   implies  the  killers  pain  did  not  go  away.  The  sudden  sound  we  hear  when  the  audience  sees  the  killer  in  the  same  shot   as  the  vic6ms  plays  a  role  in  the  narra6ve,  as  it  implies  something  dangerous  would  occur.  This  helps  the  narra6ve   unfold  because  the  story  of  the  trailer  is  about  dangerous  behaviour.     The  shots  of  the  killings  help  unfold  the  story  because  it  suggests  that  there  would  be  killings  happening.  This  part  of  the   narra6ve  helps  the  audience  realise  that  the  film  is  a  slasher  horror.     The  audiences  link  the  texts,  sounds  and  shots  together  to  help  them  unfold  the  story.     How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer?   NARRATIVE  
  • 13. The  narra6ve  is  shown  through  the  trailer,  magazine  and  poster.   MAGAZINE   In  the  magazine  the  image,  texts  and  colours  helps  the  story  unfold.   The  text,  such  as  ‘when  a  mothers  love  goes  too  far  who  will  bare  the  pain?’,  implies  that  the   film  is  about  a  mother’s  love  and  how  she  is  overprotec6ve.  This  therefore  makes  the   audience  think  about  the  narra6ve.   The  image  is  similar  to  the  poster’s  image  so  has  the  same  narra6ve  hint,  including  the  facial   expression  and  blood.   The  main  colour  used  is  black,  which  connotes  danger.  By  this,  the  audience  would  know  that   the  film  is  horror.           How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer?   NARRATIVE   Text  on  the  magazine  
  • 14. The  narra6ve  is  shown  through  the  trailer,  magazine  and  poster.   POSTER   In  the  poster  the  use  of  colours,  image  and  texts  helps  the  narra6ve.   The  main  colour  used  in  the  poster  is  red,  which  implies  danger  and  threat  and  this  helps  the  story  unfold  because  the   audiences  are  aware  that  the  story  would  about  death  and  pain.  The  colour  red  makes  the  poster  appear  horrific  and   builds  a  tense  atmosphere  as  red  connotes  blood.     The  image  helps  unfold  the  story  because  the  character’s  facial  expression  implies  that  the  story  is  about  something   serious,  such  as  death.  Even  though  the  image  has  effects  on  it,  it  is  clear  that  the  character  has  blood  on  her  face  and   this  implies  the  story  will  be  about  death.   The  texts  in  the  poster  help  unfold  the  story  because  they  give  hints  about  what  the  film  will  be  about,  such  as  the   tagline,  “6me  passes  but  pain  doesn’t”  suggests  the  story  will  be  about  a  pain  will  remain  for  the  rest  of  someone’s  life.         How  effec6ve  have  I  been  in  showing  a  link  between  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer?   NARRATIVE   The  character  has  a   serious  facial  expression   Tagline  
  • 15. Narra6ve   Narra6ve  is  significant  in  a  film  campaign  because  it   helps  the  audience  understand  what  is  going  on,  as  it  is   an  effec6ve  way  of  showing  how  the  story  is   unfolded.  There  are  three  major  terms  of  narra6ve,   which  are:  plot,  which  are  the  events  of  the  story,  theme,   which  is  what  the  story  is  about  and  discourse  are  the   things  being  discussed.  These  terms  of  narra6ve  are   important  because  it  helps  the  audience  create  a   meaningful  story  so  they  can  interpret  it  the  way  they  like.  
  • 16. Narra6ve   The  narra6ve  structure  is  also  significant  as  it  determines  whether  the  audiences  understand   what  is  going  on  and  it  allows  them  to  create  different  meanings  as  they  would  interpret  it   differently.  Narra6ve  differs  between  two  structures  that  are  open   and  closed.  Open  and   closed   narra6ve   is   different   at   the   end,   where   open   narra6ve   has   an   unfinished   story   or   cli[anger  and  this  therefore  leads  to  a  franchise,  as  there  are  more  to  the  story  being  told.   The  audiences  are  more  likely  to  have  more  ques6ons  in  an  open  narra6ve  than  closed,  as   the  way  they  view  open  and  closed  would  be  different.     On   the   other   hand,   closed   narra6ve   has   a   finished   story,   for   instance   the   enemies   are   overcame  and  normality  is  restored.  There  are  a  variety  of  successful  film  campaigns  that   have  open  and  closed  narra6ves.   My  trailer  is  closed  because  the  story  is  finished  and  there  are  no  cli[angers.  Even  though   closed  and  open  narra6ve  film  campaign  are  both  successful,  it  has  been  argued  that  open   narra6ve  may  be  more  effec6ve  than  closed  narra6ve.  This  is  because  the  target  audiences   for  open  narra6ves  are  broader  as  there  is  a  new  audience  for  each  film  in  the  franchise.    
  • 17. Narra6ve   Narra6ve  is  important  because  it  helps  us  understand  how  to  behave;  as  there  are   moral  guidelines  and  can  differ  according  to  the  genre.  Depending  on  the  genre,   narra6ves  can  almost  be  predictable,  such  as  the  plots  and  stock  situa6ons.  In  a   typical  horror  film,  a  character  goes  to  the  kitchen  and  gets  killed.  However,  it  can  be   argued  that  real  life  is  not  like  what  we  see  in  the  movies,  so  should  not  be  taken   seriously  so  cannot  teach  us  human  behavior.   The  audiences  would  interpret  what  they  see  differently  and  they  decide  whether   they  are  a  passive  or  ac6ve  audience.   My  trailer  challenges  this  because  the  vic6ms  are  not  killed  because  they  are  doing   something  wrong,  instead  they  are  being  killed  for  being  friends  with  Kelsie.  This  is   demonstrated  through  the  use  of  medium  shot  of  Kelsie  and  her  friends  playing  ringa   ringa  roses,  which  implies  that  they  are  having  a  nice  6me  together.  This  is  shown   when  Lilith  is  thinking  of  bad  6mes  with  Kelsie,  which  involves  Kelsie’s  6me  with  her   friends.  This  outlines  that  Lilith  does  not  like  Kelsie’s  friends.  
  • 18. Narra6ve   Barthes  puts  forward  that  there  are  enigma  and  ac6on  codes  that  helps  the  story  unfold.  Ac6on  codes  are  the   character’s  movement  that  helps  the  story  move  on  and  usually  hints  something  and  enigma  codes  are  the   puzzles  that  are  le_  with  the  audience  to  ac6vely  work  out.  The  audiences  may  interpret  meanings  differently,  so   for  each  audience  there  would  a  different  experience  with  different  ques6ons  and  problems  to  be  solved.     Barthes  theory  can  be  applied  to  my  film  campaign  because  my  trailer  contains  enigma  and  ac6on  codes  and  an   example  of  an  ac6on  code  is  when  the  knife  drops  on  the  floor.  The  audiences  would  realize  that  someone  is   hurt  because  a  knife  with  blood  connotes  death,  as  as  the  knife  that  was  used  is  shown  as  a  weapon  for  killing.   This  links  with  enigma  codes  because  the  knife  dropping  le_  answers  for  the  audience,  such  as  the  purpose  of   the  killing.  Another  ac6on  codes  that  leads  to  enigma  codes  is  the  side  view  of  the  killer  stabbing  the  image  with   a  knife.  This  ac6on  implies  that  the  killer  is  angry  with  the  people  in  the  image  and  leads  the  audience  to   ques6on  the  reason  and  who  the  people  in  the  image  are.  An  enigma  code  that  is  le_  with  the  audience  is  the   ques6on  of  who  survives,  which  persuades  them  to  watch  the  film  because  they  would  want  answers  for  their   ques6ons.   Another  ac6on  code  is  when  the  killer  cuts  her  face,  which  makes  the  audience  think  that  she  is  mentally  unwell.   This  leads  to  enigma  code  because  it  makes  the  audience  wonder  why  the  killer  is  so  angry  at  Kelsie’s  friends.

Narra6ve   Levi-­‐Strauss  put  forward  the  idea  that  narra6ves  are  built  around  binary  opposites  that  keep  the  story  moving   forward  and  is  useful,  as  it  links  with  my  trailer.   In  my  trailer,  there  are  ranges  of  binary  opposites,  such  as  young  and  old.  This  is  shown  through  the  use  of  video   effects  between  the  shot  of  the  young  children  walking  down  the  stairs  and  then  the  teenagers  walking  down  the   same  stairs.  The  video  effect  was  effec6ve  because  it  juxtaposes  the  shots  and  shows  how  6me  passes.   Another  binary  opposite  in  my  trailer  is  life  and  death.  Life  is  shown  when  the  vic6ms  are  not  aware  they  are   going  to  be  killed  and  death  is  shown  when  the  audiences  see  the  knife,  which  shows  that  they  are  dead.   A  binary  opposite  that  has  been  shown  in  my  trailer  is  love  and  anger,  which  is  shown  through  the  use  of  sound.   At  the  start,  Lilith  shows  her  love  to  Kelsie  by  talking  to  her  in  a  nice  way  but  then  Lilith  starts  to  think  of  bad   6mes  with  Kelsie,  such  as  when  Lilith  thinks  Kelsie  loves  her  friends  more  than  her  mum.  Lilith’s  anger  is  shown  by   her  tone  of  voice,  which  sounds  furious  because  she  is  shou6ng.  
  • 20. Narra6ve   Unlike  Barthes  and  Levi-­‐Strauss,  there  are  theories  that  are  less   likely  to  apply  to  my  trailer,  such  as  Todorov.  Todorov’s  theory   is  the  idea  that  there  is  an  order  of  narra6ve,  which  is  all   narra6ves  start  with  a  balance  then  there  are  opposing  forces   which  is  then  disrupted.  The  problem  is  being  solved  and  there   is  a  new  but  different  equilibrium.  In  my  trailer,  I  can  iden6fy   the  balance,  which  is  when  the  killer  is  calmly  thinking  of  the   good  memories  of  her  daughter,  as  every  one  would  want  to   remember  someone  they  love  in  a  posi6ve  way.  In  my  trailer,  it   is  difficult  to  iden6fy  the  new  but  different  equilibrium  because   the  ending  of  my  trailer  is  the  event  of  a  killing.  This  therefore   means  Todorov’s  theory  of  narra6ve  does  not  apply  to  my   trailer.  Perhaps  it  is  because  the  narra6ve  of  the  film  would  be   clearer  as  the  trailer  is  le_  with  ques6ons  and  does  not  show   the  ending.    
  • 21. Genre   There  are  a  variety  of  strengths  and  weaknesses  of  genre  in  films  to   both  the  ins6tu6ons  and  audiences.  A  problem  of  genre  is  that  it  does   not  fit  in  neatly  into  one  category,  which  is  a  problem  because  the   audiences  may  be  confused  what  genre  it  is.  However,  subgenres  help   films  to  fit  in  the  correct  category.  An  advantage  for  ins6tu6ons  is  that   it  is  less  of  a  risk  as  the  audiences  has  consumed  it  before.  They  would   know  what  genres  are  in  trend  and  produce  films  according  to  this.  An   advantage  of  genre  to  audiences  is  that  they  have  certain  expecta6ons   in  each  genre,  for  example  in  horror  films  the  audiences  would  expect   to  see  blood  and  gore.  Even  though  the  audiences  interprets  meaning   differently,  the  basic  codes  and  conven6ons  must  be  present  in  order   for  the  audiences  to  understand  what  genre  the  film  is.   These  expecta6ons  are  also  demonstrated  by  the  use  of  trailers,   magazines  and  posters.  In  my  film  campaign,  I  have  included  codes   and  conven6on  appropriate  to  the  horror  genre  and  an  example  is   the  use  of  blood  in  the  magazine,  poster  and  trailer  that  implies   that  the  film  is  horror.  Codes  and  conven6ons  are  significant   because  it  helps  the  audience  understand  what  type  of  film  it  is  but   according  to  Neale,  there  must  be  repe66on  and  varia6on  in  order   for  the  audience  to  enjoy  the  film.  
  • 22. Genre   Neale  puts  forward  that  the  codes  and  conven6ons  must  repeat  and  vary  to  a  certain  extent  because  if  there  is  too  much  or   too  liIle  of  varia6on  or  repe66on  then  the  film  would  bore  the  audience.  The  unbalanced  codes  and  conven6ons  would  be  a   success  because  the  audiences  would  take  pleasure  in  finding  out  informa6on  for  themselves.  In  slasher  horror  films,  the   audiences  would  take  pleasure  in  figuring  out  who  the  killer  is.  The  audiences  would  have  different  experiences  with  the  film   as  they  interpret  meaning  differently.   In  my  film  campaign,  I  have  repeated  and  varied  some  codes  and  conven6ons  so  it  does  not  bore  my  audience,  such  as  I   repeated  the  idea  of  an  overprotec6ve  mother  and  this  is  shown  when  there  is  a  voiceover  at  the  start,  which  is  the   conversa6on  of  the  mother  and  daughter.  At  first,  the  audience  think  the  mother  loves  her  daughter  like  every  mother  does   but  when  she  starts  shou6ng  at  her  daughter  about  not  loving  her  and  spending  6me  with  her,  they  realise  her  love  is  a  lot   and  is  becoming  selfish  with  it.  In  typical  slasher  horror  films,  people  die  as  a  result  of  doing  wrong  ac6ons,  such  as  drug   taking  and  lying  to  parents.  However  in  my  film,  the  people  die  as  a  consequence  of  being  friends  with  the  killer’s  daughter   and  this  is  different  to  other  horror  films.  This  is  shown  when  the  group  of  friends,  including  the  daughter,  are  playing  ringa-­‐ ringa-­‐roses  and  then  them  coming  down  the  stairs  with  a  transi6on  of  them  grown  up.  Neale  is  useful  in  explaining  the   unbalanced  codes  and  conven6on  while  Burton  is  useful  in  explaining  the  key  elements  need  in  films.   Kelsie  and  her   friends  playing   ringa-­‐ringa-­‐roses   Transi6on  of  the   friends  growing  up  
  • 23. Genre   Burton  defines  the  key  elements  of  genre  with  the  formula:  protagonist,  stock  characters,  plots  and  stock  situa6on,  iconography,   background  and  décor  and  themes.  This  formula  is  useful  because  I  can  apply  it  to  my  own,  for  example  in  my  trailer,  the   protagonist  is  the  killer/mother  and  this  is  demonstrated  as  she  is  shown  most  of  the  6me  and  is  the  main  image  on  the   magazine  and  poster.  The  stock  characters  are  not  present  in  the  poster  and  magazine  but  they  are  in  the  trailer,  and  the  stock   characters  in  my  trailer  are  the  daughter,  and  her  three  friends  when  they  were  young  and  teenagers.  The  plots  and  stock   situa6on  is  when  the  killer  stabs  the  image  of  the  friends  with  a  knife,  implying  that  she  is  going  to  do  something  dangerous  to   them.    The  icons  present  in  my  trailer  are  the  blood,  black  clothes  and  knife,  which  are  all  conven6ons  of  horror.  The  blood  and   black  clothing  is  also  present  in  the  poster  and  magazine,  which  helps  the  audience  recognise  the  genre  is  horror.  The  themes  in   my  trailer  are  love  vs.  hate  and  young  vs.  old.  The  theme  of  love  and  hate  is  demonstrated  in  the  use  of  sound,  as  the  mother   and  daughter  have  a  normal  conversa6on  then  another  conversa6on  where  the  mother  shouts  at  her  daughter.  The  young  vs.   old  theme  is  demonstrated  when  the  young  friends  of  the  daughter  walks  down  the  stairs  then  them  grown  up.   Stock  characters   The  killer  is  about  to  stab  the  image   The  killer  is  wearing  black  clothes,  has  a   knife  and  there  is  blood  on  her  face  
  • 24. Genre - Poster Protagonist  –  the  main  character  is  covering  half  of  the   poster,  which  makes  her  look  important.   Stock  characters  –  there  are  no  men6on  of  other  stock   characters   Plots  and  stock  situa6on  –  the  person  on  the  poster  is   dangerous   Iconography  –  there  is  blood  on  her  face  and  she  is  wearing   black  clothes   Background  and  décor  –  the  background  colour  is  red,   which  connotes  danger  and  death.   Themes  –  the  theme  of  anger  is  present  by  the  characters   facial  expression,  as  she  looks  angry  and  dangerous.  
  • 25.
