1. How effective is the
combination of your main
product and ancillary texts?
2. During our research and development stage
we realised that real media products
(Trailers,posters,websites) had the tendency of
being consistent with elements such as their
colour scheme and layout e.g. positioning of
their images.
As a group we came to the conclusion that
consistency is what makes media products
effective.
3. Here is two
examples of films
that have created
posters and
websites , keeping
the consistency
within the colour
scheme and also
there images and
font.
5. Our main goal was to create a horror package, we chose three words
that best described what we wanted to incorporate in every aspect of
our media products: DARK,GLOOMY,GRITTY. These were our key words
that helped us choose what colours and layouts we were to decide and
use.
We decided to use

8. TRAILER
• Our trailer is what allowed us to pick out three key words that related to our trailer and
that would relate to all our other ancillary texts, e.g. poster, webpage.
Keywords: Gritty
Dark
Gloomy
Here are some shots that show the regularity of us as a group using our key words.
9. Overall consistency played a major part
thorough-out and within all our ancillary
texts. Our use of consistency makes our
products eye-catching not only for our
audiences but also for media
companies that may want to contribute
towards developing our package either
through media synergies or advertising.
