Evaluation Question 2:How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

The combination of The trailer, Poster and Magazine cover was quite successful overall. We managed to have a clear style running through these products which I would describe as subtle and based around the idea that 'more is less'. We gave very little away in all production particularly in the poster, this created a sense of mystery and enigma making the audience want to find out more about it.There was very little use of color throughout our products, This was all part of the style we were going for. We always used our Antagonist (Amy Smith) as the focal point of our production work, i think it was important we did so to keep the on going style and to implant her look into peoples head. We also took use of font into account by having the same font for the film title, the 'coming soon' and using the film title on the magazine cover.

It was imperative we created these 3 products and that we had an ongoing style to make it recognizable. The use of 3 products gave the Campaign a lot of weight, This allowed audiences to gain a deeper understanding and gain more of an interest. To attract attention and advertise the campaign we created a facebook group displaying the 3 products, this was also a good tool for feedback, the comments posted were not particularly useful but they create a hype and interest for onlookers. In relation to advertising we uploaded the video on to Youtube but unfortunately we cant upload the poster and magazine onto to it making which makes it a less useful platform.Overall the use of facebook and youtube as advertising platforms has been helpful as it allows our Campaign to be seen globally.

Evaluation Question 3: What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

Evaluation Question 4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research planning and evaluation stage?

Coming soon

This is the image at the end, it says 'coming soon' we chose to keep it simple and tried to make it look sophisticated unlike other films where they will have the full date, I think suits our trailer.

The font is the same one we used for the poster, I think it is important we used details like this through out the publicity campaign to create an overall style.

Defected Films - New Film Production Company


This is the new picture for the our Production company 'Defected Films', As I explained to the group, I think this image is much more suitable for our Trailer as it has a similar style to the rest of our publicity campaign. The twisted pictures one was a bit unsophisticated and too childish in comparison to the rest of our Film Publicity Campaign.

Production Company - Twisted Picz

This is the image my group mate created for the production company, it is called 'Twisted picz'. The word twisted links directly to the horror genre along with the use of black and red we hope people can tell this is a horror production company before they see the trailer.

I personally do not like it because it is tacky, like the of the word picz instead of pictures does not work in a production like ours that would work better in a low budget urban film aimed at 12 year olds.

The Magazine Cover


This is the front of our magazine, We used conventions of horror magazines and used a lot of the knowledge we gained at AS to creater this magazine
