Question 2 :How effective is the
combination of your main product
and ancillary texts?
-Film Poster
- Film Magazine
- Trailer

2. Our ancillary tasks suits
our chick flick genre film
trailer. I think this is
because we have used
the same characters and
the use of layout and
colour scheme suggest a
girly stereotype.

3. Teaser Poster Inspiration
When creating the teaser poster we
used inspirational images as a
baseline comparison, we wanted to
represent all characters like they
have in the Mean Girls and St
Trinians posters as a group.
However all posters show one
character is the main character, the
two inspirational posters have
placed the main character in the
centre. We have challenged the
codes and conventions of posters
by placing our main character on
the far left.

4. Inspirational Images
For the introduction of
characters we used this
picture, we wanted to show
all characters in comparison
to show their geeky
traits, and Sam’s popular
look. An Inspirational image
was the skins character
poster it shows all characters
showing their personality
such as anger from character
Katy. The reason for these
posters is to show a
comparison between actors.

5. The image clearly
displays that Sam is
the main character we

6. Teaser Poster
We started cuttingaround the
actresses and putting them in a new
layer, which let me smooth out the
background so it was fully clear. We
also added a shadow to the models
layer to create a 3D feel.
For the title we used Princetown LET
as its a font regularly shown in
schools, which I too used a shadow
to make it stand out more. It is in
the same colour as Sam's dress to
make it clear that she is the main
character

7. How they link to the video?
They link to the video, as I have tried to include
the same colour scheme we used for our
ancillary texts of pinks, blacks and whites and
silvers. This was to show a consistency over
different media forms. We have also made
characters wear the same style of clothing so
their look and fashion sense does not differ
over the different media forms.

8. Conclusion and how well they worked?
I think our ancillary texts and our video work well as a
combination as they both target the specific audience we
chose ( Teenage Girls ). We can see the narrative from the
posters as Sam is either shown on the poster on her own
or slightly out casted from the others. We have placed her
this way on the posters to show does she belong with
these other characters? Which is what the whole plot of
the film is based around which the trailer clearly shows.
They all work together because of the consistency of the
media products as they all have the same colour
schemes, actors and show the same narrative. All media
products clarify the plot, and the relationship between
actors.
