QUESTION TWO

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

Our teaser trailer is combined effectively with our ancillary tasks. Our poster and website all collectively contribute to the thriller/crime genre. 

The common themes are the use of images. Our wound photographs are used on our website, our trailer and one is used as the image for out poster. 

We used the wooded images on our website as a background and these also feature in our trailer.

We used the same colour scheme's on out website and poster.

Our poster is particularly effective as it draws on one of the still images that becomes almost iconic to this genre. As with films such as Silence of the Lambs, the image clearly DEPICTS a violent death and yet only displays part of the body thus leaving the true horrors of the crime to the audience's imagination.  

We combined black and white images with colour images to create intrigue.

The visual connection between our teaser trailer and ancillary tasks helps to brand our product and promote our trailer. The colour schemes, locations and still images all compliment each other and are evident in both our ancillary tasks and our coursework production. We used a shot from out teaser trailer as the profile pictures on our facebook and twitter pages. We used a crime - thriller colour scheme on our youtube channel.

  

Our task was to produce a promotional package. Producing the ancillary tasks and keeping audiences updated on the progress of our trailer via  facebook and twitter meant people were more aware of what our teaser trailer would be like

We deconstructed and drew inspiration from other posters to make our final poster realistic and of the same standard/in keeping with our teaser trailer and website.

These posters were are main inspiration due to their colour scheme. We noticed through out deconstuctions of films that blue and grey were common colours reflected in the crime - thriller genre.
