How Effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?

The Main product is my documentary and the ancillary texts are the
radio advert and poster.
The effectiveness of these products is very important, when
producing the ancillary texts I thought about the combination and if
they worked well together.
How Effective is the combination of the
  documentary and the radio advert?
In both products the same music is featured, this combination is quite effective as the music
is at the beginning of both products which creates a specific mood for the viewer. The same
voiceover can be heard of Mick, the radio advert informs the audience of the content through
the use of a voiceover the combination of both products is effective because there are both
relevant the same music and voiceover is used they both compliment each other.
Research done before producing our poster, into similar shows on the same
                   channel or have the same content.

Ghostly green background inspiration from the ghost hunters poster, this is effective because it
is relevant and links into the content of the documentary. If the sky colour was a colour like blue
 this wouldn’t be effective it wouldn’t inform the audience of content also wouldn’t really make
                                            them watch.

        I think the combination of the documentary and poster is very effective.
 Firstly it is clear from the start for both products what the documentary will be
      about, through the use of dark colours and ghostly effects this informs the
                          audience that the documentary is about the paranormal.
              The poster backs up everything in the documentary it shows that the
     documentary is participatory and that the content is about the paranormal.
     The poster research helped because there is similarities in my poster to the
 professional posters, people who watch and like the TV show ghost hunters will
be interesting in our documentary because the same aspects are taken from the
                                  ghost hunters poster and incorporated onto ours.
