Evaluation Question 2 How Effective is the Combination of Your Main Product and Ancillary Texts?
An ancillary text a media product that helps feed
in/ support the main media product, in my case my main media product was my
music video and my ancillary text would include the my digipack and advert. It
is important that my poster and my digipack link with each other and the music
video, the reason this is important is because if they are not linked together
for a few reason it will not work, first off it will not follow typical media
conventions and we have decided that we are following the majority of the basic
ones however we have made some of our own. Secondly people would get con used,
for example if you had different people on all three then you wouldn't know
whether they're part of the same ting or if they are three random things with
the same name by coincidence, with confusion this would effect sales of tickets
and cd's.
The way I have had the advert link up with the
music video and digipack is by using a close up of the artist on the inside
cover, this close up of the artist also appears in the actual video so this is
a distinctive image of the artist. I have also used the same artist on the
front cover as ell however he has he back to the camera and is in front of a
metal fence, this image has been used in previous drafts for the music video
and I felt like it would make a good front cover. The image I have used for my
back panel is one of a dark alley way with graffiti seen, this is the same
alley way as the front cover therefore it links to each other instead of being
random and our of context. Another way I have tried to link everything together
is by using the locations that were used in the video to place on the digipack.
Another key part of the media is the text font we have tried to have the font
standardized across the all of the media products for our band, this will help
people recognize the brand and therefore when they see this font will be
reminded of the duo.
My magazine cover again features my artist, the outfit that he is in is also used in the music video this is so the there is a correlation between the two, this
