The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a main horror film product with supporting ancillary texts such as a trailer, poster, and magazine cover. It argues that these ancillary texts are a good combination with the main product because they follow horror genre conventions. It also claims that effective ancillary texts can help promote the film, draw more viewers, and allow potential audiences to get a sense of the film before its release. This combination of high quality main product and ancillary texts is believed to positively impact the film's box office success.

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

2. • I believe that my main products and ancillary texts
are a very good combination because i beleive they
all follow the forms and conventions of the horror
theme. If you look at the texts and trailer you will
easily be able to realise that it is horror themed
because of the colours that are used and also the
writing/presentation.

3. • By having the trailer, poster and magazine cover
done effectively it means that more people would go
see the film and also people will recommend it more
and talk about it more because of them all being well
presented and done effectively.

4. • When doing the trailer, poster and magazine cover i
made sure that it was completely different to all the
other ones so that it would stand out a lot better
then the rest of other trailers and by not realising the
killers identity it creates mystery so people would
want to go and see it so they can find out who was
the killer and why they were doing it.

5. • The way a film hits the box office big time is due to
the fact of effective advertising which is done
through the trailer and ancillary texts , so by having
decent trailer etc it allows the viewer to get a good
overall experience of the film before it gets released.
This allows the consumer to gain an idea to whether
they want to see it or not so with effective main
product and ancillary texts it allows them to have
there own opinion.
