Evaluation Question Two - How Effective Is The Combination Of Your Main Product And Ancillary Texts?

Question 1 cuts off a bit so im typing it here so that it's easy to read: The chain on the poster links with the title of the movie. This was done so that the audience could paint a picture that the necklace plays a big part in the narrative. The chain is also in the beginning of the trailer so it shows a running theme. The title of the film is called 'the chain', we used a chain as a prop as it is a cursed object and it's what sets off a chain of events. Cursed objects are usually found in supernatural horror movies and that's the sub genre that my group and I decided to have. Having an image of a chain in the trailer and the poster was really effective as it shows the object which is causing so much destruction. The necklace is the first thing shown in my horror trailer which helps set the narrative and shows just how important the prop is. Throughout the trailer, it's apparent that the necklace connects to the villain and the victim, It's even shown in one of the last scenes in the trailer when Lilith (villain) is laying next to the final girl (Riley) and Lilith is holding the necklace. This is significant in showing the development of the narrative; it reiterates the saying 'don't touch what's not yours'. On the poster, it was important to have the necklace showing as it's being held by the villain. The chain on the poster helped to create an illusion of a downward cross on her face which represents evil. The necklace in the poster is in colour and the necklace in the trailer is in black and white; the colours being shown in the necklace are dark colours. A colour of one of the gemstones is a dark red and the colour red connotes blood and danger. Blood is evident on the villains face in the poster so the colour of the gemstone also links in with the makeup. The colour of the gemstone and makeup link in with the colour used for the title of the film as well. Having all these connections of the chain would hopefully signify the purpose and relevance of the chain to the audience. My group and I really wanted to show off the necklace as it was a symbol we used to symbolise danger.
