How effective is the combination of your main and ancillary tasks

IntroductionIn my A2 media studies coursework, my group and I were required to make a short trailer, along with an ancillary task of making a original film poster and a featured magazine. Slasher/Thriller is the genre for the film. This presentation will show the effectiveness of the combination of the two products with the trailer.

The purpose for an ancillary taskEach of the products aims to advertise and promote one another. The poster and magazine works to gain recognition for my trailer. In order to create recognition the brand I used The Enigma.As a recurring word along with the same colour scheme.

Main product: TrailerSettingSet in a secluded park/woods, away from civilization.

StyleColour changePathetic fallacy: As the mood changes so does the lighting. At the beginning, the mood of the teens are happy and positive, so theres high key lighting. When the trailer goes to low key lighting so does the mood, turning to fear and panic.The iconography of the piggy mask shows a recognizable antagonist that is identifiable. Piggy is the main character. He appears in all three of my products.

Ancillary task: magazine
