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

We are planning to create a Prezi to answer this question. Using all different types of media to explain how effective the combination of our main products and ancillary texts.

Some points we will cover:
-How you can clearly tell all 3 of our outcomes, the poster, magazine cover and teaser trailer all are promoting the same film 'Chilhood'.
-Our main link between the 3 is our main character which appears in all 3 outcomes. With simiar themes such a the poster incorporating props and themes from the trailer for example, a clock, television etc.
-Our genre is also consistently clear, for example some magazines when promoting the film display the actor them selves instead of the character they played on the cover. Where as on our magazine cover we displayed our actor in character still portraying the genre of horror.
-We will also comment on the manipulation of the title 'Childhood' on our 3 different outcomes. We did change it on all 3 to fit with the median we were working with at that particular time. For example using the title in our trailer and developing this for the poster by adding images into the text. Then for the magazine to get it the fit with the theme we completely recreated the title, we used a simliar theme for the phone using similar colours and layout. But still was easily linked to the trailer and poster.
