How effective is the combonation of your main project and ancillary tasks??

I linked my ancillary tasks to my trailer, all with the theme of horror and all showing the characters from my main project. I used this as I would have if I was going to advertise my product. The trailer alone is advertising but I needed my ancillary tasks to have the same hook as my trailer. For the colour scheme of my poster and magazine cover I used the same colours I had used in my trailer. My dead girls makeup consisted mainly of the colours purple (veins) and red (blood). I used these as my dominant colours for my poster and cover. This meant that if people saw it, it would be easier to recognise at a glance. It would also distinguish the type of genre it is. I made sure not to use to much "gore" in my poster because if it was to be shown as an actual poster it may have been seen by children but still needed to get across my movie. I did something similar in my production, as I did'nt add much gore but instead gave the impression that there would be alot, by dimming the background red as the trailer began. By using a half image of the dead girls face in my magazine cover also allowed me to play with the impression of something instead of making it clear which is what I had aimed for in all my ancillary tasks, making them match and therefor giving them identity.
