Ancillary Product Research Summary

Overall, I have found the main conventions featured within magazine and posters which are used to promote films. I am going to use this research when making my ancillary products, because I know that things such as an eye catching focal image, keeping a colour theme and making sure the typography contains titles that will attract attention and aren't too over the top with the font are all things that will mean people will want to buy the magazine or poster. Keeping a fairly large focal image which seems to cover the vast majority of the poster or magazine cover will fit within these main conventions. Also, keeping the typography simple yet eye catching and short but sweet will really be the determining factor as to whether or not something will sell. I am going to use this extensive knowledge to my benefit and use it when making my ancillary product.
