Question 2 How effective is the

combination of your main product and ancillary

texts?

House-styleCreating a house style across

all the media products was a crucial element to ensure

a sense of synergy in my products. In order to do this, the thriller genre

conventions were the main design throughout the design process of the

teaser trailer, movie poster and movie magazine.

Using dark colours and images showing fearfulness kept the house-style primed.

Font The font on both the movie poster and movie magazine was different as I felt

the poster font was to abrupt and informal for a magazine masthead that would be released every week. In doing this, I have used a range of fonts to

attract and appeal to the audience in different formats; interestingly I believe this worked greatly as the overall appearance of both the movie poster and movie magazine front cover looks to be professional and realistic – if I were

to have used the same fonts for both products I believe this would have made one piece of work to a lower standard as the font would not have been

specifically chosen for the poster of front cover.
