2. Introduction
I feel the combination of our music video and ancillary
tasks is affective as the aim throughout all parts of this
project was to stick to the theme and to typical
conventions of our style of song and video. The
house/dance music genre is normally very upbeat and
fun meaning the videos hold a basic story line and
resemble the people in them enjoying themselves. This
also resembles in the DigiPaks and Magazine adverts.
For example here was my inspiration for the ancillary
tasks..
3. DigiPak Inspiration
This was my first idea
which contains a very
bold and colorful front
cover which resembles
and relates to the style
of music on the album.
This was my second idea which
was the idea I liked the most
and decided to create a similar
product that went with my music
video. This again is another way
of resembling the house/dance
genre.
4. My digiPak
I feel my digiPak links well to
our music video because it has
the artist on the front cover
making an instant recognition
to the music video. I also
wanted to edit the photograph
used on the front cover in a
very bold way so that it stood
out and appeared ‘fun’ and light
hearted like our music video.
The artist is also wearing the
headphones what he wore in
the music video which as well
as just making a link to the
video it also represents the
style of music being very
current and played by DJ’s
which makes the link to the
headphones.
5. Magazine Inspiration
These adverts are both from a house/dance/electro music
genre and both contain similar conventions. The bold and
colorful text is something I wanted to use in mine to follow
on the theme and the backgrounds use fairly simple imagery
yet are still very captivating.
6. My Magazine Advert
My magazine avert has clear
links to my music video as well
as the Digipak as I have featured
the front cover of the digipak in
my advert so that the audience
recognize the album. I have also
used typical conventions of my
genre of music video in my
advert by using things such us a
very bold font as seen in my
inspiration adverts. I wanted the
colours to be very bold and to
follow the same theme as my
DigiPak so that everything has a
clear link and comparison.
8. Conclusion
Overall I think I have made a strong link between all my
products as they all follow the same on going theme
and structure. All 3 include the same artist and
costume. Both my DigiPak and Magazine include the
same image and both use the same colour theme to
each other creating an overall product. Most
importantly all products are recognizable to each other
so that the audience would know that the album is for
my music video and that the magazine avert is
promoting my album.
