Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary

texts?

• The combination of our trailer, magazine and film posters helps us to look into making sure all three are in any way link into each other and have similar formalistic and mainly stylistic conventions. This mainly consists of the mise en scene of the characters as it would show a high level of continuity as this would make it look more realistic.

• For our main product and ancillary texts we looked at films like Tamara and Carrie which were films that we found was very similar to what we had an idea for our film. They helped us to look at stylistic conventions of the genre so they all had a similar repertoire of elements

Repertoire of elements

• Iconography: The use of low key chiaroscuro is a key aspect in all supernatural horrors as we have all incorporated similar lighting techniques in all of our texts.

• Themes: recurring theme with in our 3 texts is witch craft this is the main theme because is it what the narrative revolves around.

• Character stock type: there is a vulnerable young girl who then falls victim to wanting to do witch craft.

• There is more of a restrictive formalistic

conventions when it comes to conventions of a magazine in comparison to film posters

• Trailers also have a distinct set of formalistic conventions which we have had to follow

• With this all in mind we have had to to think of ways to incorporate different ways to make our texts effective.
