How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts

The idea of my course work is to get the teaser trailer, magazine cover and film poster all related to each other. By relation I refer to the presentation of the same film. Regardless to genre and before even getting down to the idea of Jimmy USA, the principal was to make sure that they were all related to the film I would be doing for my course work.

Here is an example of a mainstream film teaser trailer, magzazine cover and film poster:





















This is my final Film Poster Magazine and Teaser Trailer 



















What was so effective about my main product was how (as I said before) was all related into one cause. Jimmy USA was publicized with the use of having Oscar Brody (fictional actor name) who played Jimmy USA in the front cover of all my publications.

I associated Oscar Brody with huge relations towards America. For instance as you in the teaser trailer, Oscar is a mad patriotic American as you can see on his T-shirt:

I ordered this T-shirt from Amazon because I thought that this shirt would help epitomize the personality of Jimmy USA, best associating himself with American pride by using this Shirt.








With the poster, I had also associated the Film Poster with an American flag.
