How do these products link/combine together?

• The different products all link together very well, the main reason for this is the colour scheme of yellow and black. All the products apart from the magazine front cover use yellow and black to show they are part of the same advertisong campaign. The magazine front cover uses a different colour scheme but has leonardo Dicaprio on the front, all of the product have Leo on the front which is the main way people see they link/combine together.

What and why do they have links in common?

• As I said in the question before, they all have leonardo Dicaprio on the front. The only difference is the waay Leo is action in some of the pictures. His body language is different on each product which could be confusing. The reason they link them all together in such a similar fashion is because the film makers dont want people getting confused with other leonardo Dicaprio films as this would mean less profit for the film makers.

What Purpose does the combination of products have?

• The purpose of the links between the products is to enthuse the film into peoples minds. If each product was very different, the audience would not remember the film. If the products are all the same they see a lot more of the same colour scheme so it gets stuck in there mind. This is a phycological technique so people have the film stuck in there head when talking to friends so word gets around. This is one of the reasons why the film became talk of the town.

Who Benefits from this combination of products and why?

• The main persin this is benefiting is the Director who is getting all the profits from the film. The more alike the products are the more the film gets drilled into peoples minds. The more people who have the film in there mind the more poeple who go and wtch the film. the more people who go and watch the film, the more profit the film makes.
