1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
By Noor Naoum

2. Introduction
• As a group we all created a film trailer and for the 2 other ancillaries which
consisted of the film magazine cover and the film poster we worked on them
individually. The trailer we created was based on a horror comedy/zombie and we
created an effective plot which we believe was achieved successfully. My Poster
and Magazine linked to the trailer and created an idea of a girly zombie and a
unique friendship between a human and a zombie.

3. Themes
• Our themes were based around
horror and friendship. We created a
plot which suited the genre and was
not to difficult to maintain to a
successful level. The themes were
compatible with the genres and still
created this sense of enigma.

4. Film Poster
• For my poster I thought carefully
about the placement of the texts and
the font styles which match the
genres. The pink background for my
film poster gave a girly tone and a
sense of it based on a girly lifestyle
however I challenged the idea of
being fully girly by almost scarring the
text to reinforce the elements of
zombie. In terms of the colour palette I
thought the white text worked well
against the pink background because
it reinforced the teen girly girl.

5. Magazine Cover
• For my magazine i decided to focus more
on the montage aspect because i wanted to
include elements of the trailer within my
magazine cover. I thought the masthead
was placed correctly and the taglines were
spread with a colour palette of purple, black
and white. This is because what I was trying
to achieve was to portray the hybridity of all
3 genres and make the most important
stand out the most. My inspiration of text
came from the “Total Film Magazine” of
“Charlie and the chocolate factory because
it was not bombarded with taglines based
on other information, they were all mostly to
do with the film itself and the process of
creating it.
