Evaluation Question Two: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

I discuss how the main product of the trailer and the ancillary tasks of the poster magazine work in communion and how it is possible to tell they are advertising the same product - the film 'Stalk-Her'.

Good vs Bad: There is a clear contrast shown in my trailer of which character is the villain and which is the victim however in my magazine and poster the images are just of Jess so I tried to portray her as the victim and as the good character through her looking bruised and vulnerable.

Representation: The representation of the stalker is maintained as sinister and creepy throughout the trailer through the use of the prop of the mask, this helped to distinguish the villain from other characters in the narrative. The character Jess is portrayed as being vulnerable and weak through all three products as in the magazine she is bruised and has cuts, in the trailer she is always scared and running away, and in the poster she look afraid with her eyes narrowed and mouth open.

Colour and Lighting: I have used the three colour rule and kept the magazine and poster the same colours of red, white and black to promote the same product of the film 'STALK-HER' and portray the horror genre.


Location: I have used the location of the park in my poster within the trees this links with the location of the woods in the trailer as they produce a similar look and sinister feel. 

Text: The text throughout all three products remains similar with the same text 'Veteran Typewriter' being used for the film name 'STALK-HER'. The text remains the same colours of red, black, white and grey through all the magazine, poster and trailer.

Vox Pops-


I got very positive feedback that assured me that the combination of my main task and ancillary tasks link together effectively. She comments that the products link together through the colour scheme and same imagery portrayed of the girl character as looking vulnerable.

This audience member makes the comment "You can definitely tell it's a horror film" so the genre is being portrayed correctly through all three products. This reassures me that I made the right decisions in the creation of my magazine, poster and trailer.

This audience member mentions how striking the colour red is and that it is a prominent element that stands out which is used in all three of the products.
