Not Alone Teaser Trailer

How did you use new media technlologies in the construction,research, planning and evaluation stages

How Effective is the Combination Of Your Main product and Ancillary Texts



How Effective is the Combination Of Your Main product and Ancillary Texts


The combination of the of are teaser and poster is very effective because in the teaser all the audience knows is that a virus spread out and infected everyone except our Hero who may be the only living person in the world....Or Is he. On the poster the hero has a half human face and Half zombie face which gives the audience the impression that the character on the poster either turns into a zombie or has to fight zombies to survive. i



found this very effective because i felt that this helped the audience see different aspects of the films story-line, such as if the audience hadn’t had seen the trailer but seen the poster they will think the film is just about zombies however if someone saw the teaser and not the poster they will think it is just about someone who is all alone in the world. this i thought worked well because i wanted the public to want to see the whole thing and not just the trailer or poster because this will help them get a better understanding of the film. i thought with the magazine front cover of and Poster this will make the audience to be intrigued and help boost the popularity of the film itself. with the trailer this will; be the icing on the cake for the audience and letting them see a snippet of the final product and its visuals. with the Word of Mouth and mouse campaign the would help boost the product in terms of sales and popularity, as-well as the use of the zombie image would also attract more fan of the Horror genre and without any known actors would make it seem more realistic and not alot spent on the budget would’ve been spent.. I didn't show alot of zombies in the the trailer because i didn't want to give to much of the story-line away before the audience could tell what the plot-line id and become uninterested. i did alot of planning and asked different people what they would want to see in the poster and trailer. i also looked at the teaser trailers of the movies 28 days land I am legend where i got my initial idea that there is know one left on earth, i thought these helped because i took an idea from another film and made it into an original idea. i also looked at the poster of the walking dead and interpreted the idea here there isn't anyone-else. With my tag line The Last Man on Earth Is not Alone is effective because it fits in with what the film is about and also pays homage to other movies which are about people being alone such as I am legend. in the magazine there are interviews and pictures of the set and Actor, this will get the audience interest and would want to purchase the magazine, and when people see it has been put on known Magazine EMPIRE they would automatically want to see it since it is a popular magazine known for its reviews of high rated films.




What Have You Learned From Audience Feedback

What Have You Learned From The Audience Feedback


TO get the Audience more involved with the project i shot a couple of interviews and questionnaires so that i could find out what the target audience would like to see in a horror trailer. with the responses i found out that people would like to see less blood and death in the trailer because they would like to see all of it in the film. also the ages to go see a Horror film were 15- 33 year old which i thought was useful information because it will help me classify what audience i would like to go see the film. i also found their feedback for my poster useful because at first my initial idea for the poster was zombies crowding over a dead body, but the audience found that squeamish and felt uncomfortable with it because they easy they also didn’t like too much of the story was given away. so i revamped the idea and changed it to half human and half zombie

because it seemed more effective and was what the audience’s wanted. i showed the first ten people who purchased my magazine a chance to get a sneak preview of clips of the films and the unfinished version of the trailer and got alot of positive feedback. they liked the fact that it wasn't a typical horror that followed a linear narrative but that it is a survival horror film which has a lot of twists and turn which make it one of the most exciting films of the year. what makes the film different is that it doesn't aim for fear that you can see but fear of the mind and fear of being alone. What is more scary than being alone for the rest of your life with know one around. thats the point i wanted to get across with the film and most of the audience ran out of the screening because it had affected them sub consciously, this is why my film could win Scariest film of the year. what made the trailer successful was what the audiences asked when i gave out my questionnaires and these were quick shots because they wanted to see alot of action but not for long because they didn't want the story to be ruined, they also wanted a slow shot at the beginning which i made the establishing shot to show off the hero and his location. I also added a voiceover which i thought was typical in trailers just to give the audience more of the story line and what it is about. alot of the audiences commented on the editing and the use of various effects such as quick shots,m Freeze Frames, mid shots and voiceovers. they all agreed that these things made the trailer very effective and interesting. the audience also liked the font i used and the different captions i used for my Magazine front cover, they liked how i included interviews and at top 40 list of Horrors of the 21st century, they thought this was effective because it gave the impression that this was a genuine magazine and not just a cheap excuse for a magazine. the magazine caught the attention of the audiences because of its Font which was large and eye catching and ‘Very Colorful was one of the responses i got’


The font itself was very effective because it highlights the darkness of the film and i gave it a kind of see through look to highlight the hero was all alone in the world and gave it a black background to show that he is alone and that something evil is lurking in the shadows. the audience agreed with this technique because it is a chance for them too look deeper into the text and reveal the secrets and reasons why are did things the way they were and not just as a cheap imitation of a cover. I looked on Pearl and Dean and looked at similar Horror films that are compared to mine and found out that most of the films are share a similar linear story line, which is Some is in the world alone, he finds survivors and then they fight and unknown life form and then it ends with them together. i made my story line different and broke off from the linear-ness of such story lines and made my story line about a boy who is alone and thinks he is alone but is actually being watched by a government association who are putting bets on his life where he lives or not. I got very positive feedback when i first explained this to the audience to see what reception i would get and i got some very positive feedback and they said they liked my originality.
