I feel my 3 final products have an effective combination to work along side each other and advertise my film. It could be said that my teaser trailer doesn't link to my poster and magazine cover, as on the cover and the poster it shows a zombie whereas a zombie isn't seen throughout the trailer. However this was done for effect, like in the film Independence day it wasn't revealed until just before the films release that Will Smith was the main character in the film, as he wasn't even shown in the teaser trailer. I thought that if the teaser trailer was to be released before the poster and magazine cover it would be effective to not show a zombie throughout the teaser trailer to keep the audience guessing about what is causing the disappearances in the film. Then the poster and the magazine cover would be shown closer to the release of the film, this would draw alot of attention the film as it would make it seem as there is a whole new part to the narrative and interest the audience into watching the film, and also help with the synergy of the film, potentially increasing the income.
The two ancillary tasks clearly link together, as both the magazine cover and the film poster have the same zombie as the main feature just in different poses. This adds a sort of consistency so that if people saw an image of that zombie they could link it back to the film. The dark colours used in both the poster and the magazine cover are very important, by repeated use of these colours it helps reinforce the horror of the film.
