ancillary texts radio advert

This is my Ancillary Text for my Radio advert. ( This is on youtube and i have had trouble with the link working. If it doesn't work please click Here )

ancillary texts poster

my ancillary text which was the poster.


I have called the named delusion because by the near end of the film the audience will realise that the main character has just been delusional about the the killer the whole way though the film. I think this poster is perfect because it goes into detail about how the main character is purely imaging the killer while he ultimately turns into the killer.
the white light is a symbol of his imagination, as the killer stands in the light showing that he is part of his imagination.

A2 Media Question 3

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

In order to construct research from my audience, I decided to show family and friends my final project. In some cases I used web 2.0 to receive feedback, such as twitter and Facebook. the people that the showed were very happy with the product that I have produced. I was extremely happy that my audience took into account the number of angle and shots that I have used. A member of my family said that my project flowed naturally.

Some of the people that I have asked even pointed out their favourite scene in the film. Many of my audience liked the final scene where the camera movement is shaky and I show the twist of the film with the camera shots and angles.

My audience easily identified the genre of my film a 'thriller'. This was extremely good news for myself as that is exactly the genre I was aiming for. I think how i achieved my aim to create a thriller was partly with the sound.

most audience members pointed out that it was the constant eerie sounds that i used thought out my film. A member of my audience said that the sound in my film was essential for my film for it too be classed as a thriller.

However, one person did have some advice to give me. My grandparent said that when i was showing the killers face for the very first time, i should of shown him for less time. Showing the killer for less time would intensify the audience. Overall making my final project more thrilling for the audience.

A2 media question 2

How effective is your combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

when creating my ancillary texts ( which you can find in the youtube video above ) I tried to link as much as possible to a thriller aspect. My ancillary texts were a poster and radio advert.

as you can see here to the right, the first picture is the unedited picture of me on a footpath. the picture below that is the edited picture. I edited this picture on 'Pixlr'. Pixlr is basically a free online photoshop. This edit took me around 4 days to complete as i wanted the edit to be perfect, as I am very happy with it.

 There are many reasons why I created the poster to look like the way I have created it. the first reason is that the killer is directly central and is almost in a silhouette with glaring light behind him. I think this poster is perfect because it goes into detail about how the main character is purely imaging the killer while he ultimately turns into the killer. The white light is a symbol of his imagination, as the killer stands in the light showing that he is part of his imagination. I have called the named delusion because by the near end of the film the audience will realise that the main character has just been delusional about the the killer the whole way though the film.

For the radio advert, I took a little bit of the music that i used for my actual final product and used it as a backing track for my radio advert. Then i used segments of the film where there would be speaking. I put it together in order to create a creeper eerie radio advert. I showed this advert to friends and family to get there first reaction. They were all very drawn into my radio advert pointing out that parts they enjoyed the most were the knife sound and the description of the killer.

The combination of my ancillary texts ( poster and radio advert ) were extremely effective. I can tell this from the audience research that i conducted on my friends and family. Therefor, I am extremely happy with the work that i have done with the poster and radio advert.
