As a brief description to do with all three projects. The trailer has used different camera shots to keep the audience's attention and focus. The establishing shot is a long shot which within the first couple of seconds, shows the location ad character. The characters and the editing are the actions which mainly drive the narrative through this trailer. The main focus of all three tasks are the woman's character as she turns into a dead person. I have focused on this on all three of our productions as in the trailer, she is the main character, in the magazine she is the person on the front cover and for the poster, it is her legs which are shown to be all muddy. This has kept all three of our tasks uniformed, leading to a pleasing outcome for our audience. The poster was mad dark, eeary and serious to contrast with the brightness of the magazine front cover. All three productions are effective because they give away detail however not too much. Personally I feel our main production and ancillary texts are effective and link together well. We have tried to combine things in the trailer to the film poster and the film poster to the magazine front cover. We have used the same actor in all three - however in completely different ways. The film poster it isn't clear that it is the same main actor, as it consists of just her feet, however we have composed her to be like this but she is in the same outfit as the trailer, so that the audience recognise that its is the same actress. For our magazine front cover we have used the same actress however in a different outfit. I don't feel we should have done this - I feel we should have kept it the same outfit as in the trailer, but Shannon wanted it to be different to look more casual so we went with that idea. You can still tell that it is the same actress though and links into the trailer because of her, it just would have linked in more because of the outfit as well.
We have kept the film poster and the trailer quite dark to link in with the genre of our texts (horror.) This is also the same for the red writing on the poster. This is not the same for the magazine front cover where it is light and white. If it was to link in it would need to be darker and not have such a white background - which doesn't look great because it draws attention to all of the space left on the front cover. There is some dark places, such as the puffs however that is it. The is a small link done by having white writing on the front of the magazine front cover and having the title and the release date in white on the poster.
Continuing with the theme of colours, there is also some red ( a small amount of blood on the bat), on the film poster, whereas the magazine front cover is mainly red.
On all three texts we have mentioned the name of the main actress (Shannon Carey.) This is a subtle link but if they remember the name on one thing it will help with the other two and emphasis it.
