The combination between my main product and ancillary texts is very good as they all are aimed around one aspect which is the focus of the cars. The first ancillary text which is the poster has a big effect with the combination on my main product as various aspects are given to the target audience straight away. Firstly the central protagonists are centred on the poster and emphasized as they are the biggest images on screen, i have decided to position them in a triangular shape to signify the love triangle with the female character trapped in the middle of the main chracters at the same time.
The main background of the poster is a car with its headlights on which is the main theme with the poster and the main production as the lights are what the film avolves around. The characters faces have been faded out so the two male characters each have eyes which look as if they are car headlights shinning through. The title is shown in big bold text (the largest sized font on screen) however the 'away' part is in an italic format to look as if it is been driven away to one side. The tag line i have used is very effective and has a great combination with the main product as it says 'Get in your car and be prepared to be...', this is where the elipsis is used but then the title can be added her so that it gives away to the audience what could happen in the film (a good source of marketing).
There are also two reviews however there is binary oposition here as one quote is from the 'Sun' and one from the 'BBC', however this has a combination with the main product because the bad character is on the right hand side of the poster where the 'Sun' quote lays and on the left is the good male character where the 'BBC' quote lays, this will attract a larger target audience as different reviews from diffferent local networks suit and appeal to a wider range of audience. The second ancillary text is the magazine review, this reflects on the main product in a different way of combination as its not about the visual aspect its about the text and what has been said. There is a direct link between the production company and distribution company of the main product as the ancillary texts have been produced by a conglomerate 'Cannaonball'.
The effect this has on the combination with the main product is a possitive aspect as its all about the explination as the writter explains the synopsis of the film by reflecting on the good and bad points and also gives a variety of images giving an inlet what the film is all about and is it worth watching. Overall i think there has been a big impact by being effective with the combination betwwen the ancillary texts and the main product because they are teasing the target audience trying to draw them into watching the film by advertising in these two different ways and i think its been really effective overall.
