Ancillary Task: Introduction

In order to produce a professional product, I will be creating a magazine cover and film poster to advertise my horror teaser trailer. During this time, I will be conducting a wide range of research on different types of mainstream magazines such as ‘Empire’, ‘Total Film’ and ‘Entertainment’ in order to aid me when it comes to making my own magazine cover. This research will allow me to be aware of the common conventions that I will need to incorporate within my own work, in order to attract my target audience and overall create an effective and attractive marketing campaign. Furthermore, my ancillary tasks require me to conduct research on my distributing market which is significant, as through this task I will become aware of what my target audience look for in a magazine cover and film poster. I will then use this to my advantage as I will create my products based around the feedback which I received from my target audience in order to overall produce a successful marketing campaign. I will be using this blog as a platform to track my progress and provide evidence of my work through diaries, screenshots and daily logs.
