1. Media Studies – A2 Evaluation 2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

2. In order to link my poster design effectively to my short film I have made sure that I use the same typography for the title of my film. By using the same font it clearly links the two products together as you can see the connection between the two through it. The poster design also features one of the main characters in the film, the Guide, which is also a very effective way of combining the two products as the audience will immediately know that they are related to each other. Another way I have linked my poster and short film together is through the use of an image of the Guide. By using this image it directly links to the film as the Guide is a very important character in it so it acts as a great link for the audience of my film.

3. In my film review I have used stills from my short film in order to create a link. I have used stills of both of the characters featured in my film in order to for this link to be the most effective as it is the characters that would be the most recognisable from my film. The images also act as a visual aid for the readers as they will then be reminded of the film while they are reading the review. I have also quoted a line from the film in the review so that the audience who have seen the film and then read the review will immediately think back to when it is said in the film as a link. The title of the film is also obviously featured above the other information about the film so that then it will give the readers all the information of the film that they would need to then find the film.
