All of the texts we used throughout our year 13 media coursework was thought about and we tried to fit the horror stereotype as well as possible. To start with, our ancillary texts within our horror film trailer were put there after trial and error. We searched for some time trying to find a scary text which fitted the horror mise en scene. The reason we used this because we tried to fit in and represent the genre as well as we could with our choices. For this reason, we chose to use black and white as our colour scheme. This is a very popular colour choice in horror trailers, and we followed this. All of our texts inserts within our horror trailer was of the same size and the same colour scheme. This is because we tried to add professionality but also wanted to hold a tense atmosphere within our trailer. Being black and white, the ancillary texts were very easy to read as we assessed this before the trailer was finalized. Above is a print scrren showing the example of our ancillary texts. You can see our colour scheme, its fairly easy to read and also sets a scary mise en scene which we was aiming for.
We didnt only use ancillary texts within our movie trailer, we also used ancillary texts on our movie poster that we had to create. To fit best with the film, we chose the same colour scheme as our movie trailer texts which was black and white. This again made it simple for the audience to see and matched our stereotype (being horror films). A lot of time and thought went into our text choices and the main reason we chose them was to add emphasis on our audience. horror trailers dont just affect the audience with 'jumpy bits' but also affect people on mise en scene, settings and also text. This is why we recognised the importance of our ancillary texts and tried to match them with a horror film as best as we possibly could.
