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

When creating my media products, i was always making sure that they link and ensure continuity was visible throughout the trailer, poster ad magazine cover. To do this I took a scene from the trailer that held significance and included it within my ancillary tasks. The scene in question is the candle clip at the end of my trailer the spirit is seen surrounded by candle saying a mantra, which happens to be the title of the film.

Because of the pictures i used for my poster and magazine cover were so different i was worried that people may not be able to recognise that they are for the same trailer, so to cement that idea i used the picture used on the poster and incorporated in the magazine cover by putting it in the circular 'sticker' part of the magazine.

Usually the fours F's should be considered when linking products of the same task together and they say that to show flow the same fonts and colour schemes are used but i decided to go against this and use different fonts and colours for my tasks, so for my trailer i used just white writing, for my poster i used, red, white and grey and for my magazine cover i used blue and white. But i did research and movie posters and magazine covers do not always use the same colour scheme and instead combined the two elements through pictures and words. this way there was variation in the two products i made and the didn't look too similar. The fonts i used are also different because a posters function is to promote and is all about the film so everything font colour and format is made the reflect that film, whereas the magazine is made to promote the film but also the magazine itself and other media texts within it, its not all about the film. So to make my magazine look like a magazine promoting a film i wanted to use font that re conventional fonts which you usually associate with magazine covers.
