Question 4 - How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary texts?

When I was devising both my movie poster and my horror magazine cover Ihad the Task of establishing a link between the two so that my audiencewould be able to make The link I decided that I would do this my havesimilar themes on both pieces of work. I did this by have an eye(S) onboth pieces as the main part ; I thought that it would be useful to do so asit would let my audience know that it was a horror film or magazinebecause it showed that someone is always watching you and would havea scary theme to it

When I was devising the name of the of my film I took into considerationthe location in which I would be filming in. The name of my film‘HOSTAGE’ was adopted because the location that I was set to film mytrailer in was a garage in which I was of the opinion that I would be ableto film it in this location and I would be able to attain the shots that Iwanted as well as have a connection from the poster and the trailerlocation.

I would say that the combination of my movie poster , movie location as well as the magazine were all effective this being because it was fairly obvious to identify the link between all of the movie poster , film magazine and the location because they all had vast amounts of darkness which is commonly associated with darkness and evil which would mean that it would be very much effective in selling itself to the audience as well as leaving them wanting to know more about the film or see more.

I think that my logo was very much effective in the sense that it can be said that it may be hard to view thus relevant to the horror genre reason being because it can be said that things may not be clear and may be hard to view initially in horror films which often adds to the element of surprise in horror films.

I think that the combination of my logo , movie poster as well as the location in which I set my film were all effective reason being because they all have very mysterious elements to them of which my audience will be able to make the link and primarily be aware of the fact that it is a horror film then secondly because it would convince them to find out more about the film because it would have an intriguing element in which would interest them.
