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

2. Teaser Trailer & ancillary tasks
• The main product was a horror genre teaser trailer. The
narrative was a person who had gone missing and a stranger
had to find them.
• The two ancillary tasks were to make a front cover for a film
magazine which was about the main task and a film poster.
• And all of them had to link.

4. Ancillary plan for magazine cover
• Before I made the ancillary tasks I needed to do research in to
film magazines and film posters to find out the key features of
them.
• I looked at TotalFilm and Empire magazine front covers to see
what type of layouts are used on film magazines.
• By finding out the key features on magazine covers I was able
to start and plan one for the ancillary tasks.
• And planning how I put information about the teaser trailer
on to the magazine.

5. Examples of film magazines
• Examples of two film magazine front covers which are Total
Film and Empire.

6. Key features for magazine cover
• Key features on the film magazine front cover for
ancillary task
• Name of the magazine - Complete Cinema
• Date - December 2011
• Issue Number - Issue 1
• Website - www.CompleteCinema.com
• Title of our teaser trailer film - No Where To Be Found
• Extras - Information on things inside the magazine
• Quote - “Ground breaking new horror film”

7. • After deciding the title of the magazine and what was going to
be on it, I could start to make it.
• I made the Film Magazine front cover using Microsoft Word
and Photoshop.
• But I kept referring back to the teaser trailer trying to link
them together.
• I used a picture from the teaser trailer which was of a sign
saying “missing” and this was one of the key shots from the
teaser trailer.
• So if someone had seen the teaser trailer they would
recognise the “missing” sign on the magazine cover.

10. How they link?
• The film magazine front cover links with the teaser trailer
because it uses an image from the main task.
• The title of the teaser trailer “No Where To Be Found” is on
the magazine front cover twice one above the image and one
below it saying “world exclusive” next to it.
• There is even a quote about the main task I have on the front
cover because quotes about films are normally on film
magazine covers when they are featured on them.
• Looking at the film magazine cover you are able to tell it is
about “No Where To Be Found”

11. How they didn’t link?
• Because of the lack of footage our group filmed for the teaser
trailer there wasn’t many pictures I could have used for the
magazine front cover.
• As it was only a teaser trailer there weren’t any characters
shown in the footage which mean’t I didn’t have a picture of a
character from the main task to put on the ancillary task.
• As normally on film magazine front covers there is an image of
a character from the film on it.
• I think I should have used more colours to show “No Where To
Be Found” was a horror genre.

12. Ancillary plan for film poster
• The film poster was easier to plan, compared to the film
magazine cover because it was only going to be a teaser film
poster.
• Which meant it didn’t have to be to detailed just show the key
features for the teaser trailer on the poster.
• The things which needed to be on the poster were
title, tagline, release, date, production company logo etc.
• I decided to look at examples of horror genre film posters to
get a better understanding of them before I started to make
the film poster.

14. Image from the film Same image used on the film
teaser trailer and it’s poster just it’s been edited to
used on the magazine make it darker in
poster PhotoShop, to link in with the
genre.

15. How they link?
• The film poster links to the teaser trailer because of the image
it’s print screened and edited from the teaser trailer.
• The font used in the film poster is meant to be a horror type
font which links to the genre of the teaser trailer.
• How the only colours used on the film poster are black and
white which is the same on the film magazine front cover.
• Uses same image which is on the film magazine front cover
just edited to make it darker so it fitted better for the film
poster.
• The tagline used is “prepare to be scared” which if someone
read this they would know it would be a horror genre.

16. Only colours used on both ancillary's were black and
white which links them together.
So you can see the idea was to make them both black
and white as a theme for both ancillary tasks

17. How they didn’t link?
• In the titles in the teaser trailer the font colour which is used
is red and in the film poster it’s white. I should have used the
colour red instead.
• The tag-line is a bit misleading.
• I should have used the tag-line in the film magazine front
cover as well instead of using a quote under the film title on
it.

18. Conclusion
• I think the teaser trailer and the film poster links in well
together because you can see the poster is an advert for the
teaser trailer unlike the film magazine front cover.
• The film magazine front cover could have been better by
having a different image and relating it more about the teaser
trailer somehow. E.g. a review system for the film.
• You are able to tell both ancillary tasks are about the teaser
trailer through the image used, titles etc.
