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

For my ancillary and main production I wanted to maintain a constistancy within products in order to keep a consistent brand identity for the band. I also wanted to maintain consistency with my other group members , this is why we all created and agreed on a style sheet. I created a magazine advertisement advertising the release of the bands new ablum, and a CD case. The main things that I had to consider whilst in the production of my ancillary texts was the use of the house style.

For the photography of the ancillary texts, we used a photo studio, this made it easier for us to control the lighting and effects, this suited the genre of the music video perfectly which then created a strong sense of mise-en-scene for the r'n'b genre. This matched the internal shots we used for the video, therefore the consistency of location in the two different texts link the combined texts together.

For the poster I have used the front cover of the CD cover this shows continuity in terms of conventions I have found from existing texts.

In my ancillary products, I chose the color scheme to compliment the band logo and the music video.

My ancillary texts that I created work well in unison to create a strong brand image for; Daniel Merriweather. The consistent use of house style as well as emulating ideas from existing media makes this a good promotional package.

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Editing

Through out or video we use a lot fade to change the scenes, we used fading because this type of editing allows us to show the passing of time and as the story was about the breakup of two characters (over a period) this editing style shows that. We also used dissolve to link two shots together and to show the video as a dream sequence.

Developing Ancillary tasks

Looking at my first draft for my poster you can see that I have followed the conventions of real life posters,and comparing it to Maverick Sabre's one, I feel that there is nothing else that needs adding to. From primary research I have carried out (asking teachers and fellow students) they have all said it looks good and it gives them the information that they need.

I have emulated Mavericks Sabre's 'Lonely are the brave' poster.

This is my first draft for my CD front cover. I do not think that this is good because the Masthead runs off the page although the positioning of his face I think is good.  

Improvements I will make to the front page will be to re-size the masthead and move all on the page.
