Evaluation 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

The combination of my main product and my ancillary texts are vital for showing the similarities between them. This makes my products look professional because of the way they are linked and show similarities. It means that the audience instantly know how the products are linked together. Things like the font, colours, and photos are all similar to one another.

The genre of my film magazine, poster and film trailer was something I needed to think carefully about, to ensure that my target audience was addressed. The way I used the colours black, white and red, instantly connoted the theme of the unknown, danger and contrast between emotions and contrast itself. This allowed my audience to know it was aimed at them.

The
colour black represents the unknown the colour red represents danger and the
colour white was a contrast between the black and the red. This allowed my text
to stand out on my magazine my poster and my film trailer. I also chose these
colours because they are linked to film noir. 



The font was the same throughout. It started in quite a bold font which allowed
it to stand out of the page. I also added a drop shadow to my font this meant
that it's stood out even more to the audience. The drop shadow was something I
added on photo shop this was a useful tool and was very creative for me to
have. Photo shop was easy for me to use as hat I had used it before in my AS
coursework. I continued to use its features throughout my A2 coursework. Using
the same font made my work look more professional and inviting to the
audience's eye. Overall I think the three products I have created linked
together well because of the font. 



 We left our production name on all three of our products, this allowed the
audience to instantly know who had created this product. We thought this would
be a good idea because it attracted to the audience's attention and told them
who the production company was this would therefore allow them to know how good
the production company was in contrast with other films they had made
previously. If the production company was a famous production company the
audience would instantly want to see the film because of other successful films
they had made in the past.  



 Another example of continuity throughout all our products would be the way
characters we kept the same throughout, which meant that all three products
were linked directly. This allows the audience to understand the storyline more
effectively.
