How effective is the combination of your main product and your subsidiary tasks.

All three of my media products should complement each other. My trailer is the most important part of advertising 'Dirty Money' as this is the one that the audience will spend the most time watching. This also allows the audience to get a taster of what the film is going to be like. Whereas the movie poster and Magazine front cover should complement the film, they should be similar to the theme of the film. I Believe that I have done this well as i have taken the main actor from the film 'Mark Drakeford' and used him as my front cover for my magazine. He is also the main feature of my movie poster. I believe that using the same actor for all of my products will allow the audience to start recognising his face which will lead to him being highly associated with 'Dirty Money'.

The movie poster was made around the same design as the 'BadBoys 2' poster, This is a simple poster and tells the audience nothing but the name of the movie, the release date, the two main actors names and finally the production company name. the image I have used has been taken from the trailer, doing this has allowed me to keep the atmosphere of the movie the same and also eliminated any problems with the actors costume, as he is wearing the exact same costume as in the trailer.

Also using the same types of font in the trailer and the movie poster is important as you need to keep a house style. Doing this allows the audience to recognise that the font and the colour used on both the poster and the trailer is the same film. If you did not keep to a house style audiences may be confused and think there are two films with the same name. So i believe having both of these in Orange and in the same font makes it easier for my audience to recognise the film and therefore makes my products more affective.

Overall I believe that my consistency throughout my design process has allowed my products to look professional and also allowed them to look realistic in the film industry. Creating these products has been a challenge as you have to think about every aspect of the media. Advertising, Designing and Production.
