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

Conclusion:

I believe that the combination of my main product (music video) and my ancillary products (advert and poster) were successful and worked well in the fact that they all showed continuity between the different products.

Introduction:

I have tried to create effectiveness in the combination of my main product (music video) and my ancillary texts (poster and digipak). I have created this by using stylistic and thematic themes throughout my work. It was also created through the moods, atmosphere and the meaning which I was creating between the different products.

Stylistic and thematic links:

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

An example is:

Some of the stylistic and thematic links which I created between my main product and ancillary texts were effective in creating continuity and similarities between the different products.

I created a link between the ancillary texts with the style of the poster and the digipak. This created a link between the two because I used my front cover of my digipak and my poster. I created a thematic and stylistic link throughout the digipak because most of the pages in my digipak are similar because there is always a gramophone with lyrics and drawings coming out of it.

Effectiveness:

Another example is:

The first thematic and stylistic links I made was between the ancillary texts. This being because I used the same writing throughout the digipak and on the poster.

Here is an example of my digipak pages:

An example of where we have cut out photographs and placed them on different backgrounds. It is clear that the boy and girl's photograph has been cut out.

I created effectiveness throughout my main product (my music video) and my ancillary texts (poster and digipak). This was created because I always had an artistic style. This is shown from my music video being a stop motion with photographs which I had taken and then cut out and placed on different backgrounds to create my stop motion animation. This artistic style is carried on throughout my digipak and poster. This being because in the digipak we have hand drawn pictures (which relate to the songs).

Atmosphere:

We tried to create an upbeat mood and atmosphere from our video. The happy atmosphere was created from using emotional pleasures for the viewer. This was created through the use of our love story and from how the couple stayed together. A love story usually makes a happy atmosphere so we decided to go along with this idea because this would work best with our stop motion animation video.

'Breakeven' by The Script:

Atmosphere:

'Breakeven' by The Script

This video is 'Breakeven' by The Script. This shows a clear relationship between the two main characters in this video however this shows a realtionship breaking down. This video shows flashbacks of thwe couples life together which we used as an idea for our video.

This is the album of the Scipt's song 'Breakeven' this seems very artistic in style and Ilike the images on the cover, they relate to how we used different photos on our digipak, poster and during our music video.

This atmosphere was also created because I used a hybrid of genres (two or more different genres) of positivity and romance. These genres being animation and romance. The way how these two were interweaved made a very happy atmosphere for the audience viewing the music video. I believe that this atmosphere was succeed well.

Taylor Swift 'Love Story'

The video 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift shows a clear relationship between the two main characters. My music video shows the same sort of relationship between the couples.
