2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

I beleive my trailer is effective in the horror industry as through out my trailer it is dark, something horror films do to build tenion through out their trailers. Also i used hand held camera through out most of my trailer to make it more realistic as my trailer was about a girl being watched. When filming my trailer i decided to film some parts out of focus to build tention soimething that production companies do today in the horror industry. In similar style to the trailer of 'Sinister' i used the quotes saying'nerve - wrecking' to create that sense that other people had seen it and thought it was never-wrekcing making people want to go see it them selves to see what it is all about. I also tried to conect with audience by quoting theres nothing you can do to, so it would get the audience on edge as they would wantr to help the main charcter in my movie trailer making them want to see the film and find out more and to actually see what happens that they couldnt stop or help with. Towards the end of my trailer i show flashes of whats happening to the main character to tease the audience this is effective because it makes the audience want to go see the film to find out what happens, trailers such as 'Paranormal activity' do the same to build tension. I also used the title in a scary, gory font to keep with the horror theme but is also effective to because it lets the audience be aware that it is a horror/thriller. Overall i think my trailer leaves the audience wondering and wanting to know more about what happens in the film which over all i think it is very effective.

I also think in combination to my trailer that my magazine cover is also effective. This is because I thought if i kept my magazine cover plain and simple and also all about my movie trailer it would make the audience insterested in seeing it. By ussing my main chacter half off the magazine looking quite shocked the audience are left wondering why making them want to see the film which is the main aim. With the main chacter being half way off the cover i think that it is mysterious and doesnt give much about the film away to keep the audience wondering. I also put the title of the film' The wtaching' half off the page too to make it look as though both the main chacter and the title are hiding from something for a reason, building tension for the audience making the magazine cover effective. I used Empire magazine for my magazine branch because it is a well know film magazine that is successful to create that success in my trailer as it is wrote and spoke about by a well know successful film magazine company. over all i think that by keeping my magazine quiet plain and spaced out instead of crammed is effective bwcause the audiences full attention is on what happens in my film.

I agree that my magazine poster is also effective as it is realistic. By using the credits about what company and direct etc made the movie i make the trailer realistic. The main image on my poster is effective as the audience are left wondering why the main chacter is putting her hands over her eyes, and with the film being called the watching yet the main character has her eyes covers it doesnt add up which leaves the audience wondering what actually happens. I edited the image into dark colours to make it gloomy and mysterious making an effective horror poster. I decide to put a fade our of grren along the bottle of the poster to make the title of the film stand out more so the audience would look at that straight away. I aslo used the font of 'The Watching' because it looked quite horror like and spooky which effectivly let sthe audience know straught away that it is a horror because of the font. The tag line 'is he seeking you...' make the audience wonder who it is on about and why would he be watching them making them want to see the film to find out more.

Over all the trailer, magazine and poster work effectively together because i used the same font on all three things which keep the audience known and recgonise it when they see it making the audience bigger. Also by using the same person in all three piece it also makes the audience recgonise it which makes them want to see it every thime they see something that it related in all three of them.
