Evaluation question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

I will be using a program named 'powerpoint' as a slideshow to answer this question.

first slide: I believe that my two ancillary tasks work very efficiently together in allowing the audience in be able to distinguish the genre of my teaser trailer. My main task includes the conventional character(s) and the typical spoof horror narrative portrayed  through mixed aspects of comedy and horror. Also i believe that the fact that my main character is within the same age range as my target audience creates a link between the text and the audience.

second slide: I used a level of continuity across all three of my media products. I believe this has helped to make it effective as it is being promoted as though it is a real media product. This means that the mise en scene and conotation of the style in which i have made my magazine, poster and trailer in consistent to the audience leading it to be effective. This can be seen through the colour scheme of our products, such colours as whites, deep reds and blacks and also the text used. I have continuoulsy used the same type of font across the two ancillary tasks to conote to the audience that these are promoting the same film, thus increasing the effectiveness. 

third slide: I have used continuity in all three by the appearance of the main character across all three tasks he is dressed in the same clothing with the same hairstyle and makeup. I also believe the mix in gender across all three media products makes a binary opposition within the prodcuts creating a very interesting and intrifuing feel to the audience, making the audiences drawn in to my product. The binary opposition of the gender confusion is further increased by the fact our actor still has very manly features. This is such things as a beard, further continued by the fact that our actor has muscly arms and also short hair.

fourth slide: Another aspect that i believe makes my two ancillary tasks and my main task effective is the consistent promps and motifs used to hint the genre used. With our main product and movie poster both following aspects of the film 'Insideous' this creates and effective spoof genre. This consistency conotes to the reader the horror aspects as they can clearly see the fim we are creating an almost 'parody' of which then also brings the comedy aspects in at the same time

FOR ALL THESE REASONS I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE COMBINATIONS OF MY MAIN PRODUCT AND ANCILLARY TASKS EFFECTIVE THE THE TARGET AUDIENCE.
