Evaluation Question 2 (Ancillary Texts)

How effective is the combination of your main product and the ancillary text?
I feel that I have used the following things to make sure that my poster, magazine and teaser trailer link together and feel part of one and other.
Colour Schemes

Fonts

Taglines
Similar Images
Production Company logos
Credits/Billing

Whilst doing my research and planning into each of these media texts I found that when they are all from the same film that they have a definite link and feel part of each other so I wanted to make sure that my three texts all felt like this too.
When choosing the colours that were going to be used on the background of the magazine and on the fonts of each of my media texts I made very sure that none of the colours I chose would clash with any pictures on another media text I was doing. For example I used a lot of pink,purple and blue on my magazine so I made sure that these colours wouldn't clash of look wrong with the image I had chosen for my poster. I feel like if I wouldn't have used the same colour scheme throughout you may not have felt such a link between each of my media texts.

I used the same taglines on my poster that I used in my teaser trailer so that when someone watched my teaser trailer or saw my poster and then either saw my poster or watched my teaser trailer they would be able to make a link between the two and remember seeing it advertised in many different ways.

The Images throughout all three of media texts all have the same people in. This is really important and effective because then again people that are looking at either of these three texts make a link between them as they recognize the actors. It would be pointless using a random actor/actress on my magazine front cover because then people may not make a link between them and they just wouldn't recognize that that magazine or poster is for that specific movie.

Of course throughout all three of my media texts the Credits/Billing and Production company logos always stay the same and would never change because that just wouldn't make sense as the same Companies are always producing this particular film for me.
