The document evaluates the effectiveness of combining a film's teaser trailer, poster, and magazine cover to promote the same thriller called "Depth". It finds that the combination is effective because all three products feature the same main actress and use a matching title to establish a clear and consistent brand identity. While the teaser trailer and poster clearly communicate the thriller genre through their dark colors and ominous imagery, the magazine cover is less clear but still promotes to the intended target audience of 17-24 year olds seeking suspense.

In this video I will be evaluating, how effective the combination of the my main product and
ancillary text are together.
One main factor that helps binds and links all the products together is brand identity. Brand
identity is important, as it instantly inform the audience that the seperate products are
promoting the same thing.
Before we look at the combination of the products promoting the film depth, lets take a
look at an example of the brand identity in a thriller film and how the film it was promoted.
