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

The teaser trailer that i created is very effective because it expresses the story line in a well informative way with the use of voice overs. It also is effective in a horror sense because it creates a very eery and creepy atmosphere while watching and engages the audience very well, this is accomplished by the combined use of jumpy moments and general creepy music/shots.

My film poster is pretty effective too because it includes a vital image from the film which is the ending scene where the antagonist morphs into some kind of demon. This is effective for a trailer because straight away it gives off a strong aspect of horror and makes you want to see the film and find out what the face is linked to and how it results in this. One possible way that using this image is negative could be that it is giving away one of the key moments in the film. The title is displayed in a pretty simplistic way across the bottom of the page which leaves the talking to the image and doesn't draw to much attention away. The text at the bottom is a list of names which star in the film along with a date of release and website address.

The magazine cover is based on Total Film magazine which is probably the biggest film review magazine around. This cover is very similar to the poster because of the image used but in this case it is torn up and split because it shows how the girl has a spit mind and changes at some point throughout the film. The text which is displayed across the bottom is short and to the point, which avoids boring the reader and makes them want to read more.

Overall i think that the combination of my main product and preliminary tasks are very effective for the marketing and publicising of the film because they all show strong aspects of horror and don't give away too much information.
