Evaluation question 2- How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

My main product and ancillary texts have quite a clear link between the two. I have included an image of the character yet kept it quite obscure keeping the character mysterious and her face hidden to leave it up to the viewer what she looks like.

Another aspect of the keeping the theme between the main product and ancillary tasks is the colour scheme. Throughout the film and the front cover of the magazine I have kept the film consistently dark colours and tones as it's a horror film and darkness usually connotes fear and unhappiness. I used a black and white image for the main image on the front cover of my magazine with white writing and bold red headlines to connote the image of blood. Black and white are also quite contrasting colours. Aswell as this I aimed to keep that horror feel by making the character act in different ways and move around in a really scary way so that it's quite haunting to the audience. I chose the main image with her hiding behidn a tree as within our film trailer our scenes and encounters with the main character are filmed withing a forest therefore I wanted to re-enforce that scene and to remind the audience of our whereabouts within the film. The text on the magazine and poster stand out and I decided to make them bold with the character remaining quite secretive and hidden just like in the teaser trailer the character isn't revealed.
