The combination of the documentary and two ancillary texts of a radio trailer and magazine article were effective at targeting a similar audience of 16-34 year olds. Similar conventions and features were used across all three products to clearly connect them. While the radio trailer most directly advertised and reinforced the documentary through use of the same music, narration style, and audio clips, the magazine article could have been improved with more attention to layout and visuals to better appeal to the target demographic. Overall, the products established a clear brand identity through a shared color scheme and language to cohesively promote the topic of social networking.

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? ï‚– ï‚™ In addition in creating a documentary we also had to create two ancillary tasks which were a radio trailer and TV listing magazine .We ensured that similar features and conventions were used in order to link the three products together .
Our target audience ï‚– ï‚™ In the process of making our main product and ancillary tasks we insured that they all aimed at the same target audience .The main target audience are 16-34 year olds regardless of gender , race, ability or religion as Social Networking is more relevant and relate able to that age range. Although we have a focus group ,the three product will appeal to other people, for example parent ,people with companies and the general public interested in the topic. To avoid creating products that would only appeal to teens and young adults we included some older general public in our vox pops and we also decided to talk about the advantages that companies have from social networks and this would appeal to older audience. This is one way in which the three products are clearly connected and the ancillary tasks combine well together in supporting the main product.
TV listing magazine  The TV listing magazine article reinforces the connection between the main product and ancillary task in many ways. However if we could go though the process of making the double page spread again I would ensure that we spend more time on the layout the images as I feel that it does not appeal to our target audience as well as we wish to. A sense of ‘brand identity’ is also found from the colour scheme. This is done by using the colour blue as it is the main colour of social network and this is the topic of the documentary. Both images feature within the actual documentary. This helped to add an element of continuity and highlight the main object of the article and support the documentary. The language used in the article is the same friendly styled narration that is used both in the documentary and in the radio trailer. This is another way the three products are all combined together. We chose ‘Radio Times' for our double page spread to be featured in. The reason we choose it was because they have a wide audience and our topic would fit nicely into it.
Radio Trailer ï‚– The radio trailer is particular effective in relating directly to the documentary ,supporting it and combining with it in order to make a product that will appeal to the target audience. I feel like this is the ancillary task that succeeded In advertising the documentary the best. The way it does this is t through: Same background music as the documentary. This adds element of continuity and advertises the documentary. We featured the date ,time and channel the documentary will come out just like in the double page spread . Audio snippets from the documentary interview, vox pop and voice over The narration in the radio trailer is again friendly just like in the documentary and the double page spread .We wanted this way to engage with the audience. This is another way the three products combined.
Conclusion   In conclusion I feel that the thee products combined relate well back to the same audience and advertise effectively .Additionally as shown they all create a clear ‘brand identity', however as mention before if we could go back we would spend more time on the double page spread and make it more appealing to the target audience.
