The document discusses how the filmmaker connected the various ancillary texts for a film project. The film title was designed to be memorable and indicate the genre, and was featured prominently and consistently across the teaser trailer, posters, and magazine cover. The main actress, Larissa, was used on the magazine cover and posters to help promote the film and attract audiences. Both the poster and teaser trailer feature the town location significantly as it plays a big role in the film. The male lead remains mysterious with only his feet shown in the poster and trailer to hint at a potential romantic storyline through body language. Separate "Him" and "Her" teaser posters were created for the male and female leads while keeping the

combination of your main
product and ancillary texts?

2. Film Title
Film title is obviously main feature that connects all of my
ancillary texts to the teaser trailer. The font and colouring
is the same but on the teaser posters I chose to position
the title a bit differently because it was the main
attraction of the whole poster. I designed the film title in a
way that even on it's own with no additional pictures or
taglines it would make clear what genre this film is.
Sometimes audience can forget what the film is called
but if the title design is impressive they might remember
it better and that's why I tried to promote it as much as
possible in different ways.

3. Main Star
When I started this project I had to be under the impression
that I'm working with an existing magazine, actors, film
productions and so on. Since the main star of my film is
Larissa I also used her on my magazine cover to promote the
film. In hopes that she as an 'recognised actress' will attract
the audience or even if people didn't know who she is the fact
that she's on a magazine cover might interest people
especially when the film title is based directly on her picture
meaning they are connected in some way.

4. Poster and Trailer (Town)
I tried to connect my film poster with my teaser poster as
much as possible since I didn't do the usual 'charcters looking
at each other lovingly' scenario that so many romantic film
posters do. The town will play a big part in the film and that's
why it takes up a significant part of the poster and appears
quite a lot in the trailer.

5. Poster and Trailer (Feet)
The male lead throughout the whole teaser trailer and the
poster stays a mystery. The only hint the audience receives
are the feet. Body language experts say that our feet express
our inner feelings without us even realising because we don't
give much thought about what our feet are doing. In this case
both main characters walk confidentaly towards each other
and then stop in a very close proximity and shift to a position
that can suggest a kiss. I used the exact same feet position in
my poster to suggest romantic feeling that might take place in
the film.

6. Teaser Posters and Trailer
From the very beginning I wanted my project to have that 'Him' and 'Her' scenario. I
created separate teaser posters for male lead and female lead. The fact that I included
actors names at the top of the posters slightly ruin the 'mystery' theme I have going on in
my teaser trailer but at least the audience still has no idea about the male leads persona
in this film. In the actual trailer we only ever see the female lead but at the very
beginning there is a hint showing that there will be two people involved that enjoy similar
lifestyles. This is shown with two split screens - two toasters going off athe same time
and two glasses being filled with drinks.
