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

When I was planning my ancillary tasks I wanted to keep synergy between my main task and ancillary tasks. This would help my audience make a clear and easy link between my tasks. Now I wanted my film poster to appeal to a younger audience, to do this I used bright colours and witty headlines. I believe that this would attract a younger audience. Also I have used the same method with my magazine cover I have tried to make it as appealing and attractive to a younger audience as possible. I have done this mainly in my photography skills by having a comical picture of my character.

I have kept a comical theme in both my ancillary tasks. For example in my film poster I have mix two genres together. It is mainly black and white this is to show its detective/noir themed film but I have used different technologies that have allowed me to keep some of the colours in my photo. I chosen to keep the yellow “kick me” posit note to show that this is also a detective spoof. Also the acid green text also helps to show that the poster is a comedy. With my magazine front cover I have decided to have a slightly different outlook on the task. I wanted my magazine to be like the magazine “Empire” this is an independent magazine that gives reviews on films. I had noticed that the magazine title flowed really well I wanted my magazine title to do the same. I found that the “Empire” Tile is a three syllable word and this is what makes the title flow well. The title for my magazine is “Continue” this is also a three syllable word and also really flows well. Below is a picture of my film poster (fig1) and also is a picture of my magazine cover(fig2)

I have used different pictures for my ancillary tasks because I wanted to show my photography skills although I have used the same person in both my task to show synergy. For my magazine I wanted an image that showed the serious and comical aspects of detective goose. Although the image that I had taken may not get the effect that I wanted. This is because Detective Goose looks far too serious and menacing. I feel that if Detective Goose was pulling a less serious face I could get the comedy that I wanted.

In conclusion my main task and both ancillary tasks work together and show clear synergy between us and they also have some of the same aspects so my audience will see that there is a link.
