Codes and Conventions of My Chosen Ancillary Texts

As of yet I haven't decided which of the two ancillary texts I want to make. Therefore I have done conventions research into them all so that I can chose at a later date. The ancillary texts are:

- film poster
- a film review page
- radio trailer

As seen in both of these posters, the main protagonist is the main focus of the poster to show the audience who the film is about. Furthermore, both of these film posters maintain a certain house style which fits in with the house style of the film. For example, the Dunkirk poster is quite dark and gloomy, which reflects the cinematography of the film. When I make my film poster, it is important that I use colours that are similar to the ones used in my film so that there is consistency between the two texts. In order to achieve this I may use a still from my short film as the image for my poster. Otherwise, I will take images of my protagonists for my poster in the location the film is set, in the same costumes and in the same lighting so that the atmosphere of both texts is the same. 

UPDATE (01/12/17) - For my ancillary texts I have chosen to make a short film poster and a double-page spread magazine review.
