Above is a audio recording of my group and I discussing our film and why we chose to include certain things etc.
How our texts compliment one another
The three texts (teaser trailer, magazine and poster) all compliment one another.
This is because they all have a common factor - the use of images showing a person with blacked out eyes, giving a demonic look. This shows to the audience what the film is about. In all three of these texts we have not given much away about the films happenings, but different conventions are used to create a scary and interesting feel about this film.
- For example in our magazine, by calling this film the 'Horror movie of the year' this means it has obviously been given a good review by Empire, so people will want to see it.
- On our poster, we have used the tagline 'You'll never escape' to show to the audience this film is exciting. Also on the poster the rope texture on the Hangman title does subtly show to the audience what this film is about, though as it is of such low opacity they may not notice it at all, again going with the idea that we do not want to give too much away.
- In our teaser trailer, no actual hangings are shown so that the audience become intrigued as to firstly why the film is called Hangman, but then because there is so much action in this teaser trailer the question is raised, what exactly will it lead to?
- Our teaser trailer displays this by displaying a ouija board - something clearly showing that supernatural happenings will occur.
- Our poster includes a person with demonic eyes, which is supernatural. Also blue tinted font is a colour associated with supernatural film, so this is made clear there also.
- Our magazine shows our genre through referring to the 'Top 100 must-see supernatural horrors' in another feature, which shows a connection. Also in the same way as our poster, the font shows our genre too.
