1. How effective is the combination of your
main product and ancillary texts?
I think that our ancillary tasks complement the main product as they represent
and emphasise the main theme of the product. The key aspects of the
media product which we have carried through into our ancillary tasks include
the movement of the train, the distinct colours (i.e. red and white), and the
villain, which can be seen below.

2. The movement of the train could represent the appearing and disappearing of
the villain, as the trains take a very direct route to their destinations, which
could be likened to the villain who unexplainably appears before our main
character.
It could also be interpreted that the movement of the train is symbolic of the main
characters repeated attempts at escape.

3. Another aspect which is present in both our media
productions and ancillary tasks in the distinctive two-
tone colours.
I think that we have definitely made the most of the red
& white colour scheme in all of our products. This is
most prominent in our magazine cover, as it appears in
the title, the magazine features, and the picture itself.
By keeping a simplistic colour scheme of only two
colours, I think that we have pulled off a professional
looking cover.
This is present in other films such as Raging Bull, in
which both the magazine cover and movie poster have
a very distinctive colour scheme of black and red.
Also, these colours conform to the conventions of the
horror genre, as the red is symbolic of blood. Arguably
it is more often red and black rather than red and white,
however I believe that the white provides a sinister and
clinical aspect, which is featured in horror films such as
Saw, and The Human Centipede.
