The images I used for my ancillary products were the biggest link between them and my trailer. They were both taken in the woods where I filmed a lot of my clips and my model was wearing the same top he wore in the end scene of my trailer – in the cornfield. My model looked serious and nervous which matched the mood of the trailer and you can almost guess a match to when the photos were taken as to where about in the trailer it was.
In terms of font, my magazine and poster link more than to the trailer. I used different fonts between the two products but I used the same colour which connected them. The title in my trailer is different, with the main colour being white and the shadow of it red. I should have swapped the colours around so that it was predominantly red so as to link the products together more.
My Poster and trailer are linked through the catchphrase I used. ‘You’re next’ is the only text in the actual footage of my trailer and it stands out to viewers as a creepy moment. Having ‘Watch out You’re next’ on my poster links them both together effectively.
I think my poster and magazine would look more as if they are advertising the same thing if I had either the magazine in black and white or the poster in colour so that they were the same. That would link them together effectively.
Another thing that links the magazine and poster together is the actor’s name. they both emphasise the fame of the actor – the poster standing it out in red and the magazine only mentioning his name.
Overall I think my trailer and ancillary tasks like well enough together for viewers to understand they are advertising the same thing.
