2.     How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
You can consider the following things to describe how effective the combination is of your main and ancillaries
           
1. CONTENT AND CONCEPT OF IMAGES
-(perhaps you photographed your locations/people in your ancillaries and shot in same places as documentary so they are connected by CONTENT)
-maybe they connect by the concept? Or the episodes
-or maybe the people/presenter?

3.      STYLE
-do they connect by a certain type of style?
-style of typography (font) or titles
-style of the photography

2. TARGET AUDIENCE 
-(how do all of the products link to same target audience)
-documentary: what time would they be watching the documentary? Why? (link to audience)
-ancillaries: why and when would they be reading the newspapers where you put the advert and the magazines for the double page spread?)

4.      IDENT
(opening of documentary)
-(channel 4/bbc) at beginning of documentary connects to your advert

5.      ADVERTISING/MARKETING
-(how did you brand the whole package?)  Consider how would people firstly see the adverts, then read the article (double page spread) and then watch the documentary)
BUDGET
-then relate this to a budget (how much would you have to spend on construction (making the documentary? Advertising/marketing (ancillaries)?  Remember to consider the costs of putting a documentary on a channel and which newspaper (and size of the advert) you put your advert on and what magazine you chose for your double page spread
-(you could make a chart to show your approx. budget)
