The document discusses a media product created by the student - a teaser trailer for a film called "Pursuit". It provides feedback on how the trailer uses conventions of the thriller genre and compares it to typical teaser trailers. Audience feedback was positive about the fast pace and building suspense, though some found it confusing. Research was conducted online to study thriller trailers, magazines and posters to inform the design of the ancillary texts.

5. The characters face is hidden which may connote that their identity is hidden for a reason, keeping their face covered so we can’t really see who it is. This character identify is visual here this shows that they want us to see her character, also it is shown In a bright light which may connote that she is the ‘angelic’ character. The layout of the page is done, so one character is going after another, however we are unsure of the identity of one character, as their face is barely screen this creates a sinister affect. For the text we have used the same text which we used in the teaser trailer for the word ‘PURSUIT’ this shows a consistent look between our trailer and our advertising our film, also we have chosen to keep the turquoise on some of our text like we have used on out sight and sound front cover as we feel it adds an edgy look to our campaign. For this background we choose to left it blank as we feel that the overall poster comes across better, as it leave a mystery to the scenery of the film.

6. The layout of this film poster is very similar to the way that we have layed out our posters. The colour of the poster are similar to ours also, in the fact that they have left most of the poster in black and white to show mystery, and a sense of the unknown. Also they have included a hint of yellow in their text similar to what we have done. They have probably done this to add an extra effect to the poster. Again similar to our poster the character who is shown on the bottom right of the picture identity is hidden, it could be similar to ours where she doesn’t want her identity known or uncovered. The background for this image is different to the one we choose, this one shows the scenery and doesn’t leave as much to the mind.

16. 3;- What have you learned from your audience feedback?

18. Feedback “ It was really cool, I liked the pace of the shots and the music building up creates suspense” “ I enjoyed the trailer, but the kidnapping scene felt too realistic, and puts you on edge. if I watched the whole film I would be terrified!!” “ I enjoyed the short action packed clips, leaves you wanting to see more, definitely my type of film.”

19. Media department feedback Teacher A said “The fast pace of the trailer is what really grabs your attention. The trailer includes the action which it needs to deliver, it consists of the key aspects of a typical teaser trailer. Very impressive.” Teacher C“ It takes a while to relate the kidnapers to the case that the victim was working on, as the information is not so obvious, however this is a teaser trailer, so they have provided the ‘tease’ well” Teacher B said “The acting by all characters is well done, this enables the audience to be able to put themselves in the victims position, yet it leaves them wanting to know more”
