It was important that the combination of our main product and ancillary texts were effective. Our main product task was the creation of a Soap Opera trailer which was accompanied by the two smaller tasks of a poster and a television listings magazine. Overall we feel that the combination of all three texts worked well together as a whole.
For example we made sure that when creating the two smaller texts we based everything that was on them from the trailer. This was essential in order for them to share a relative relationship and be easily recognised by the audience. This meant that throughout creation we had to keep a close eye on key themes and codes and conventions of our products and overall genre as a whole. The key themes that we generally kept the same included logos and fonts, colour schemes and imagery ect.
When creating the poster it was important that we considered how it reflected our other texts without giving too much away. This is why we chose to use the simple image of the pub. As seen in our trailer the pub is featured in one of the clips therefore we felt it was appropriate to use this as the central image. This is image doesn't give too much away to the the audience therefore it leaves them curious about what the Soap includes and hopefully spurs them on to watch the trailer. The pub is also key representation of our Soap meaning that its pinical in the social community of The Cross making it work well as a picture on the ancillary text. We also feel that the poster supports our combination of texts because of the way in which it has been simply created. The simple creation of the advertising poster then will make the audience or anyone who is to notice it take a moment and consider going to watch the trailer or read about the storylines and plots in our LM.
The creation of the LM was important that it worked along side and supported the trailer and poster in appropriate ways. For example this product is alot more colourful and in your face compared to the poster therefore we were hoping that we would have something to suit a variation of audience types. Although as you can see throughout all of our products we have followed key codes and conventions. This includes making sure that we use the same font throughout and colour schemes on any text ect. This is all very crucial as by doing this it means that when one of the products is either noticed, picked up or watched when the audience see another one of the products they can therefore make some sort of link and connection between the three. By producing a link between all three of the products it means that we have successfully created three products that are a clear effective combination.
Overall it was vitally crucial and important that all three texts were effective together and followed key codes and conventions. This was important due to keeping the audience engaged and able to easily recgonise our different products when seen in different situations. Therefore any relative links could be made between the three.
