As recognised by participants of my questionnaires, my main product and ancillary texts are effectively combined by using the primary characters from my film trailer as the primary images for both my Magazine Cover and Film Poster. This may seem like an obvious and trivial link, however, Ella and I ensured we used many shots in the trailer of the central protagonist and her love interest together, to embed the character duo in our audiences minds. This would subsequently increase synergy between my trailer and ancillary texts by using the same prevalent duo from my main product, in my ancillary texts.
The combination of my film trailer and film poster is effective as both follow the codes and conventions of real life media texts and products of Social Realist Dramas. For example, my trailer explores real social issues and the primary image in my film trailer is black and white, which adheres to the convention of Social Realist Drama posters having muted colours and tones, like 'Trainspotting'.
Both ancillary texts and film trailer illustrate the title in the same universal font. This increases synergy across my products and means that the title/font is eventually associated with my film, like the famous 'Star Wars' font. This means that my products combine effectively as there are subtle shared links between them.
