Insert poster
Insert screenshots to website
Our main product was a 70 second teaser trailer that introduced our full length feature film piece. Combined with this, we created an advertisement poster and a website that provides all the needed information, with links to a Facebook account where our teaser trailer was posted in order to gain feedback.
Our main product is effective due to the gritty, realistic tone that we attributed to it. The opening sequence of the piece is a combination of shots from the sexual assault scene cut against the POV shots of the aftermath in the woods. This set of shots were particularly effective as they made our trailer hard to watch, with many audience members feeling discomfort however

Todorov's theory of equilibrium explains that a piece follows the generic narrative arc of its genre and that there can be a new equilibrium reached concerning certain characters that cannot be returned from. Our trailer starts with scenes from a rape and our protagonist follows the narrative arc until the climax under the assumption that her attack was her fault. It is not till the climax of the piece (seen through a close up shot of Grace breaking the fourth wall at the end of the teaser) that a new equilibrium is reached when she understands that the attack is not her fault and she did not cause it. Our poster also helps support this theory as our tagline is split into two statements, one from before the climax and one after wherein Grace emerges from her attack with her new understanding and the focus is then on her recovery. Adding to this our website also contains our tag line and has reviews, one of the longer more detailed reviews talks about "the victims of sexual assault". The equilibrium reached in this quote focuses in on the victims inability to forget what hasn't happened and emphasises that they are victims, not at fault.
The combination of our texts is effective in matching the conventions of the social realism genre
