How effective is the combination of  your main product and ancillary texts

I feel the three texts work well together due to the nature of them, online video sharing sites such as YouTube and film websites could share the trailer to promote the film were as the poster and magazine cover are more physical ways of promoting the film, posters being able to be shared anywhere and magazines going directly to the targeted audience.

I used a combination of film trailer, poster and magazine cover to advertise the film. This is pretty standard among many theatrical releases and even more underground movies. The Poster was made to look mysterious and curious. The use of the model supposedly licking a bloody knife gives off a rather shocking feel and this is intended to stay in the memories of the audience, i wanted to keep the same theme for the magazine cover as it helps them to seem as a collective, Also repetition is a proven way to have an impact on someone. Due to the two visual texts being quite vague it helps to stay open to a wider audience as opposed to a more niche one, which was one of my intentions.  one of the subtle things I done on the poster was the choice of shirt worn by the antagonist faded into the background and gives off an almost hypnotic feel due to the pattern.
