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

We feel that the combination of our main product and our ancillary tasks is very effective and professional. Our poster is a direct link to the antagonist in our trailer, with the use of the mask. The iconography of the mask represents the 'evil' side of the antagonist, when he is in character for our made up 'Big Brother' house. The title of the poster and the title on the trailer are both in red as it conforms to the horror genre, we also place the date at the bottom of the screen in the trailer, and the bottom of the poster, and they are both in white to stand out against the black backgrounds.

The main picture on our magazine is that of the protagonist Jessica. The shot almost looks like a "mug shot" like the ones taken before you enter the 'Big Brother' house. We thought this was effective as it subverts the usual happy, smiling images you see for this kind of show, which hints to the audience the narrative of our film.

One of the plugs on the magazine cover reads "How to pass an audition..". We felt this was very clever and effective as it is a direct link to the narrative of the trailer, auditions are necessary to partake in a 'Big Bother' experience and we felt this quirky tag would attract attention, it also again makes the magazine more light hearted and fun to contrast with the horror genre, and this makes the magazine appeal to a wider audience.
