How effective is the combination of your product and ancillary texts?
One of the main aims of the film distributor, is to make and sell products and advertising that will make the film and company the maximum amount of money; the three roles of the distributor that I took on, was to make a trailer to advertise a small portion of the film to an audience, hopefully enticing them into paying to see the full movie at the cinema, the other two jobs I took on, were to create a poster, and a magazine cover for the film, all of which I think I have pulled off to a high almost professional level.
On the right here, is a screenshot taken from the trailer for the film "2", I chose this screenshot as it best represents what the film is all about, the killer. He is our masked villain that brings some mystery to the ideology of the film, why wear the mask? Why hide the face? And so on, he is the main selling point of the movie, which is why I have continued to use the similar image of the killer onto my movie poster and onto my magazine cover.
On my poster here on the left, I have tried to incorporate, my basic knowledge of film posters, whilst trying to provide a similar look to what a professional one may look like, I took the idea for my poster from the nightmare on elm street poster on the right, a figure that has provided a scare through many generations, I attempted to get the same stance to make our killer look big and scary, and I also attempted to darken his figure out, but I decided to only apply this to half of him, and blend him into the background, to make it look almost as if he is disappearing. I added Production Credits at the bottom and distribution company logos, to give it a real authentic look.
With my magazine cover, I looked through many different Total Film magazines and realised that they all
share the same basic layout, so when it cam to creating my own,
all I had to do was find one that I liked the look of, and try and create something similar, yet more suited to my genre. I believe that I have a winning combination when it comes to my main product and ancillary texts, as all have that dark, horror theme to them, that sends a bit of a chill through your spine.
