How effective is the combination of your main products and

ancillary texts?

when creating my magazine horror magazine io wanted to create a clear link between between the three productsthat the audience wouild be ble to pick up on the main link between my three products as it is a dark hooded demon. there are a number of settingsn in my horror tailer but most of my trailer is outisde

I made sure that the images that I used were not the same but were relatively similar so my target audience can see the link. My models mode of address conforms to the horror genre as he is making eye contact with the target audience. the antagonist looking straight at the target audience portays non-verbal communication betwenn the media product and the target audience.

I believe that my antagonist is extrememly representative of the horror genre for many reasons for example i have added the low key lighitng effect when editing which which is a common convention of the horror. I made sure that the convention was visible in all of the media products which clearly shows the link in my target audience. Darkness is common human fear so me putting it in my media products will effect the fears of the tragte audience.

I think the text that I have used links closely to the horror genre. I have used the same typography two of my media products which includes my magazine front cover and poster this shows the target audience the link between the media products and they will associate this typography with my film.

If I was to change the typography in each of my media products then it is likely that there will be an element of confusion and this will deter them form watching the film, but the link between all of my media products reassures the audience that there’s a link in the media products and will persuade to watch the film, as there is a consistent theme in my media products. The hand in my text was added purposely it connotes mystery, and the antagonist coming to get the viewer. It can also connote someone trying to get out from possession from the antagonist.

I believe that my two ancillary tasks add a further link to my main tasks, as on each of my media products I have put the antagonist on the front with looking directly at the target audience, I made sure I varied the shots on both of these media products as my target audience may simply get bored of seeing the same image. They both link very closely to the genre of horror due to the fact that I have followed the colour codes of red and black which I noticed are the dominant colours in horror media products in my research and planning

I believe the link between all these three media products persuade my target audience to watch the film and follow the codes and convention of the horror genre.
