Question 2) How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

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

The use of the ‘antagonist’ on the front cover of the poster and the magazine establishes the use of synergy and it’s element of continuity. The actress (Titi) would have changed the style of her costume to make the products seem more effective especially for the magazine and the poster by:

·      Messy Hair

·     Not allowing the t-shirt or top under the teacher shirt to be visible

·     Adding more blood onto the costume

·     Heavier make up and props.
·         Dress
·         Stockings
·         Clunky Shoes

She would also like to change the non-verbal communication she maintained through the trailer. This is by making her role less obvious, a little more quiet and facial expressions more subtle. This is because, as it is a psychological horror movie trailer, it is supposed to create guesses, the feel of fear and danger, in the minds of our audience not giving answers to their questions immediately.

Our unique selling point is that our products are simplistic. It is scary but also funny so it may only appeal to a small number of people in society. Movies that are produced like this, are’ old time’ movies ('B-Movies') where there was evidence that there wasn’t enough money for the production or distribution.  The acting was also not of good standard so therefore, the production team made do with the equipment they had. However, movies like this are still always mentioned as famous movies that encourage entertainment; mostly because of the comedy that runs through horror movies of such nature.

 This suggests that not everybody in society will find our product appealing but it’ll still be seen as effective to a niche audience. This what makes or product stand out from others of the same ‘horror’ genre.  

B-Movies:

These movies are low-budget commercial motion pictures that are less publicized. They were very popular around the ‘Golden age of Hollywood’ (1930’s). B-Movies could also be low budget Science-fiction and horror movies; these became more popular in the 1950’s. They provide opportunities for those who are coming up in the industry and those whose careers are declining.
