Evaluation Question Two

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

  

When creating the poster and digi-pack for the music video it was important to make sure that they reflected each other as in real life they would need to be able to work well with each other to be able to sell. With the music video we tried to create a warm feeling which will allow audience which we hoped will allow the audience to easily interpret what the song was about along with the lyrics that they here. The music video we created uses warm Autumn colours which were not exactly too bright. We decided not to use really bright or flashy colours because when these colours are used , they are used to connote happiness and joyful environment which was not what we wanted to create because the main character in our video was not at a happy stage of his life.


In the album I am trying to get across the point that the artist's is talking about how his experinces. For the digi-pack and  poster I decided to go with a black and white theme. This is because firstly is used to represent sadness/ lack of happiness which is the mood that i was trying to show the artist was feeling.  I also decided to use the colour white as a base for my ancilliary task. This is because white normally representes purity and innocence. Black and white are parameters, there is black and white (positive & negative) in everything that surrounds human eyes. These two colours owrk well with each other because I am trying to get across the point that artist is an innocent man who has had bad experiences and ideas in his life which he is talking about in his album. In the ancillary task I used the image of the artist which shows only half of his face. this can get across the point that he is insecure and still has other experiences that he is not talking about as if he is holding others stories back. 


Overall I think that the main product and ancillary task work well with each other because firstly they do not use bright colours which will suggest a happy environment which is not what the song and music video is about. They also focus a lot of showing close up of the artist's face to emphasis on the emotions that they are feeling.
