Question one.

Question two.

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
The combination of the main product and ancillary texts need to be relevant and be significantly linked to one another to create an effective promotion of the film constituting to its success with our contemporary audience. Usually, in film posters and magazines promoting the films, the lead actor/actress is mainly forward to selling the product in order to create hype and acts as the informant to the reader about the film.

The film poster should visually create the tone of the film and establish characters, which anchors the effect of the film trailer as it expands from the poster and heightens the tone, story and visual of the overall promotion. It is also important to maintain the codes and conventions of the genre while promoting the film to develop the effectiveness and synergy between different media texts for one product. The information included in the magazine/film poster must interest the potential viewer which could lead to watching the film trailer, and I believe that overall the combination of my ancillary texts and main product are effective because they maintain the conventions of its genre while being informative, interesting and enticing to its target audience as a whole. The relationship between each media texts is strong as it highlights the distinctiveness of the product within its genre making it unique, such as the title and that it challenges your initial view of what it's about.

Question three.

What have you learned from your audience feedback?
From our audience feedbacks we were able to learn some things that were lacking in our product. Gaining feedback from our peers gave me confidence that we could produce a professional film trailer that appealed to our specific target audience. It also allowed us to narrow down which elements and areas of our products we should focus on.

For our product to be successful we need it to be appealing, interesting and attention-grabbing to our audience, as much as it is important to do research the feedback is also essential for us to get an idea for improving the product and minimise flaws to possible audiences.
