Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

I believe that the combination of our film trailer and my film poster and magazine cover is effective because the link between the 3 products is clear; I included elements of the trailer in my 2 ancillary texts to create this. For example, the image for my poster was taken in Kiplin Hall and the mise en scene of the image shows identifiable period features, such as the costume and elaborate dresser. I positioned Frances and Peter, with Frances holding the letter and Peter looking over her shoulder. The letter is a key symbol that appears in the trailer and which I also placed in my magazine cover, with the same image of Frances holding the letter behind Sarah, who is holding the letter whilst dressed in the same clothes as she was in the trailer. Frances' expression is one of sadness as shown in the trailer, whilst Sarah's betrays no emotion towards finding the letter; an image which is shown in the trailer, which never reveals Sarah's feelings towards her finding alongside the questions "What would you do....".
Therefore, I think the combination of our main product and my ancillary texts is effective because of the clear connection between all 3.
