The combination of my main product being the teaser trailer and the ancillary texts being a magazine cover and a movie poster gel together very well, i feel that i have used a good combination in all three to show similarities so that when the audience look at all three products they can tell what film it is linked to and they can easily understand what the film is about its genre etc.
I feel that my teaser trailer is the key to the success of the other two peices if the trailer is a success then the magazine cover and poster will look after themselves therefore i spent large amounts of time working on them so that they were of such a good standard that they get very good viewing audiences. This therefore meant making it valuable to all audiences which meant i would have to incorporate the preferences of different potential customers and this meant carrying out research and apapting the trailer accordingly.
Above are my ancillary texts which are the final peices however they are not in the best quality due to issues of transfering JPEGs in school. However i feel that they are a good reflection of what the film is about and they are produced in a way that can eb very eye catching and therefore attract the customers to want to learn more about the film itself and therefore go through the promotional channles of next watching the trailer and then film. I feel together with the film both peices are of good quality and give a good representation of the film and allow for the customers to learn more when they watch the film rather than just supplying them with the plot in the trailer.
I feel there could be slight changes to the peices for example changing the picture on them so that people can see other aspects of the film however being a small production i need just one image so that people can see this image and instively know that the image has come from the film flashback as the remember it from the film poster or a horror magazine that they had read. However with a film such as saw people will instinctively know the face of the clown as they had seen it many times before in the films so they would be able to use different images to attract the custom.
I tried to portray stephen in the magazine cover and poster shot as though he had heard an abnormal noise behind him and took the shot of him as he looked round to assess the situation. I feel this links well with the trailer as in the trailer we see the murderer running around behind him trying to creep up on stephen getting closer and closer as the film moves on. Therefore the main image for these pages reflects that at one of these points he hears the murderer but wont be able to see him as he would have run into one of the rooms behind him.
