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

I believe that both my main product and ancillary texts work good together/are an effective combination because they both follow conventions of their genre and are very linear in their design.

In both the poster and magazine cover (ancillary texts), the focal point is the main character of the trailer (myself). In terms of being linear, he is wearing exactly the same in the poster and magazine as he is in the trailer, drawing the two together, so if an onlooker saw the two, they would know that they were connected in some way. Although they are simple, they have a professional look to them.

The ancillary text is also representative of the conventions, literally. It shows the name of the creative project (Break Away), making that link between the convention of betrayal and revenge being implied and showing it as a key narrative drive in the project.

Both the ancillary and the main product appear very gritty (in the sense that nothing is glamorised) and stick to a limited colour pallet (grey, black & white, and dull colours).
