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

I believe that I have continuity throughout my products, this is by doing basic things such as having the same actors, I decided I would conduct a survey for audience feedback on draft 4 of my film trailer, one of the questions I included was "Would you say there is continuity throughout the trailer, magazine and poster? (Do they go well together, can you tell they are from the same film?)" This is so I could get other peoples views on my product, I made sure to word it in a simpler way so everybody could understand the question, these are the responses I got from a range of different age groups.

I made sure to use the colour of red throughout my texts to stick to conventions and I thought it worked well for my title, I chose the font to be the same throughout my poster and magaizne and after somebody mentioned the title in the trailer threw them off I decided that I would change that part in my final trailer to ensure continuity and it would make my texts effective together.

A media student which I asked for feedback over social media also stated that he did not see the link between my magazine and my other texts on my first draft of my ancillary texts, therefore I am going to make some of my magazine text red to keep the same colour scheme throughout.

It is important that I make sure my products have a theme of continuity within them which is why I have kept my main colours throughout black and red which also conform to the murder mystery genre.

I have also done the basic idea of using the same actors throughout as if I used somebody else, that would make each product look like three separate texts which would be a bad advertising movement for the film, unless it was a well known movie franchise then they could afford to use less continuity within their advertisement of the film.
