"How effective is the combination of your main and ancillary texts?"

1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
TRAILER
POSTER
WEBSITE

2. I believe that the combination of our main product and my ancillary texts have been
both effective and successful because I have linked and related them to each other.
Each of my media texts are linked together, for example they all contain the same
obvious title *click now*
This allows them to link the three (poster, trailer and website). When they
see this font and title on the trailer, they can then relate it to the poster
and website, where they will be able to find out more information, this
creates an effective combination between the main product and ancillary
text.

3. A reoccurring convention used in the main product was the missing identity of the
antagonist. To effectively link the ancillary text with the trailer, I carried on with this
convention on the poster and website too.
This is an example of the antagonists
hidden identity. You only ever see his
hand, boots or back of body. I used this
scene (which is repeated in the trailer to
make it stand out) as inspiration for the
website and poster.
As you can see
here, I used the
fearful
expression
shown in the
print screen
above to link the
poster with the
trailer.
And here, where I have used
the antagonists back-facing
position on the website
background.

4. The first thing you see of Creeper (antagonist) is his eye, peeking through and spying on
the protagonist. This will stick with he audience as it is the first harrowing scene and is
the turning point where the music turns more sinister and things start to go wrong.
So I decided to use this scene for
my poster. The eye would stand
out and remind the audience of
the trailer they had seen and
effectively links them together

5. I used the technology theme to link the website to the trailer. The credits have been
animated to create the effect they are being typed onto the screen, and the character
information has been done to look like a social network profile. This creates another
link in with the trailer. Meaning it works effectively as the audience will link them
together.

6. Using the same colours on all 3 products can also help to link them
together in an effective way. The colour scheme that is present in the
trailer is black and white. This is shown through the clothing, and
title/subtitle pages.

7. I used this colour scheme on both ancillary products to create an effective link between them
all. It is arguably the most important link to make, as colours stand out above anything else,
and can grab the readers attention.
Here are the ancillary
products, using the colour scheme
shown on the previous slide.
