Ancillary Texts

2. A promotion package for a new film, to include a teaser trailer, together with the following two ancillary texts:

• A magazine front cover, featuring the film
• A poster for the film

The next stage of my Advanced Portfolio in media is to create the two ancillary texts to accompany my completed film trailer. The ancillary texts which I have chosen to produce are the front cover of a magazine featuring the film and a poster advertising the film.

• Masthead
• Strapline
• Headline
• Sub-headings
• Feature photograph
• Plugs
• Competitions/prizes
• Free gifts

• Magazine's website address
  

Conventional features of film posters:

• Film title with a logo
