Evaluation Question 2:

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

I believe my main product and my two ancillary texts work well together, they all have a good combination. Each of my media texts are linked together. In the three pieces of work the two main characters are used as a center of attention. For the trailer they are in it at the beginning. For the poster they are both used in the image, and for the web page again. Another combination that is used throughout my three products is the name of the trailer 'The Panic'. This is shows in three different types of fonts but they both have the same meaning when we look at the three products.

I can also say that the three products are different but have the same effect as they are united together in my web page to show the audience what it is all about.












This shows the combination between the three products, the black and white and light amber effect that the three have. The poster which includes the two main characters is dark but has enough lighting to see their faces, obviously the hair covering the face of the girl works as well because I don't want to give away her full face in a poster. For this clip in the trailer, even though the lighting might be slightly bright, we can still this amber effect this room gives, I think it is due to the fact that the walls in that room were old and damp, so this could be why it gives this amber effect. For the web page dark colours are once again used to create a dark effect and also the two main characters are once again used. The red and white in the web page is a combination I used for both that and the poster because I believe the two best colours to use in a poster and a dark web page is red and white but also I had to balance out the colours, so there isn't too much of red or white. For the title on the home page is shown in the same way as in the poster, but the font is slightly different.


Usually for trailers, posters and websites, the two main characters are used, because thats who the  audience want to see, protagonists and characters who would act differently to another person in a confrontation between Joe and Rebecca.

The tagline "don't be affraid of the dark" has been used in both web page and poster which gives a small idea to what the movie might be about; dark rooms and people being surrounded in them. The 'Coming Soon' is also another combination that is used in my three products, it is shown at the of the trailer to suggest that the movie is not out yet but will be out soon. For the poster, it is also shown this way, although people who have watch the trailer will already know this. The font colour for that is red because as well as the title name I wanted the 'Coming Soon' title to stand out so people know. It is once again reapeated in my web page on my trailer page which, once again, is suggesting that the movie is not out yet but the trailer is there to show what the movie is all about. They work well because they stand out, because of the colours used.
