Question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

To start off with, the title screen used in my short film has the same title graphic used in both the review page and the poster. This immediately links all the the media products together because they are all obviously about the same thing. I used the same actors in the same clothes as in the short film for my main image on the review page. This is to make the article link directly to the short film. 







 I have also used the directors cartoon face in the opening credits to my short film and the secondary image on my review page. My review page uses the same colour scene as my poster. This is to make them synergise without the obvious same titles and actors. For my poster, I haven't included real photos to link the actors directly to the film however, the graphics used look very much alike the actors sitting in positions seen in the short film. The fonts used in both my review page and poster are the same fonts as well. This is to further connote the relations between the two products.






















Finally, the purpose of each products works together as well. The short film is the main products so the poster focuses on the short film. It advertises the film by using digital drawings of the things seen in the film and by giving the names of the short film, director and actors. My review also focuses on the short film but includes a photo of the director as well. This is a behind the scenes photograph which links to the short film. The text is about the film by commenting on the footage used and the storyline. I treated the director like a Youtuber and compared this videos to other fictional videos which helps links the director.
