Tickets for Premiere, Promotion and Presentation

Tickets for Premiere, Promotion and Presentation

• 1.
  This is thefinal design for our tickets to the premiere of our horror trailers. We decided to use a phone screen as the ticket so that the target audience could begin to question what role it would have in the narrative for our trailer. We then used a pun in the text message, as we know that our target audience is responsive to jokes. We changed some of the details on the phone screen, such as the battery percentage and mobile network, so that it still had connotations of the horror genre.

  We were taskedto create a horror film trailer, poster and magazine cover. It had to be rated 15 and also had to contain conventions and features usually displayed in real media text.

  Our group decidedon a synopsis regarding the genre of paranormal as this is popular in current trends of horror films. The narrative is about a female protagonist named Azyln who is haunted by a unknown entity and as she gains popularity online, she is sabotaged by ‘herself’ through social media. With the determination to find out who it is, Azyln finds out a secret about her family which sends her life into chaos as the entity continues to isolate her. Is she able to escape??

  The photograph isof the protagonist, with a glitch on her face. This helps link the narrative to the magazine cover. We also edited her eyes and face, so that elements of the narrative would be clear. The film title ‘Message Delivered’ is the same as the title on the poster and in the film trailer, and this establishes the house style of the trailer. The coverlines relate back to horror films, and then our own trailer, which follows conventions of film magazine colours. Also, by changing the colours of masthead, it makes the colour scheme stronger, and therefore makes our theme more prevalent. The pull quote is similar to both the captions in the trailer and the pull quote on the magazine, and helps link the three pieces together.

  The photograph isof the protagonist holding a mobile phone, with suspicious messages on it. This continues to highlight the main themes within our trailer, and also helps link the three different pieces of our project. We added the blood drip to make the poster more related to the genre of horror. The film title ‘Message Delivered’ is the same as the title on the poster and in the film trailer, and this establishes the house style of the trailer. We added both the film rating, our production company logo, an entertainment distributor and credits so that our product looked more like real media text. The pull quote is similar to both the captions in the trailer and the pull quote on the magazine, and helps link the three pieces together.

  The conventions thatour horror trailer follows are the use of the final girl, jump scares and scenes that include blood and gore. As well as setting the scene at night which is usually when bad things start to happen, as seen in existing trailers such as Carrie, Halloween and Unfriended. Our trailer subverts from conventions shown in existing horror trailers, as they usually speed up the length of each scene , highlight the climatic points in the narrative. We edited sound clips to increase the tension, and therefore create a suspenseful atmosphere. This is seen often in trailers.

  Throughout our project,we used different outputs of media in order to display our research such as Slideshare, this was significant in displaying our ideas which would help us in making our trailer. For example, we were able to find out and use a theory called Moral Panic, linking to devices in our trailer. Alongside this, in our construction, we ended up becoming for familiar with ways of using the camera and finding out the different between shots and movement of it. We also used Adobe Photoshop & Premiere to edit our clips and auxiliary tasks.
