How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
This image from our documentary links heavily with our poster and subject matter. The colours are very similar and therefore symbolise the same things - purity, calmness etc. as these are the things we try to show our audience to associate religion/Mormonism with.
The book of Mormon features heavily in our topic and is essential to our mise-en-scene. On the right is a screen shot of the opening of our documentary and on the left, one of our ancillary texts. These obviously link well. Although both books are different colours, we feel they still provide continuity as we used warm colours (blue and yellow) as they are symbolic of happiness, tranquility and peace; the exact association with religion that we strived to provide.
Audience theory
This is is to do with the effects our documentary has on its audience - normally with documentaries, especially expository ones, the effect is of a negative nature. However we strived for ours to have positive effect on both our audience and the Mormon community.
Reception theory
This is the meaning/message we strived to convey to our audience. We aimed to reflect a message that religion isn't all bad, and that the majority of religious individuals are not spiteful or extremists; that they are in-fact normal human beings.
Representation
The ideology of religion when it is in the media is normally that of a negative representation. That religious groups are threatening contemporary society and the way we function.
Counter-types
The opposite of stereo types. The religious stereotypes are of up-tight god fearing people who don't allow fun and think everyone but their own community is going to hell. Our documentary reveals strong counter-types as we represent the mormon community and young religious individuals as open minded, normal people who live very similar lives to everyone else.
