Media evaluation 2

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

2. Front Cover
• The use of hands on the front of the album cover shows a connection
between different people and shows them coming together.This signifies
the relationship and love which is seen in the music video.
• The white box over the images is used to make the text stand out so it’s
easily readable.The images under it can still be seen easily.
• The cover links to the narrative because the music video is about a
relationship between 2 people.

3. Back Cover
• The back cover shows 2 people holding hands.This focuses on the 2
main characters in our music video rather than the overall message
like the front cover.This links to the narrative of the music video
because at the beginning of the video the characters are shown
holding hands.

4. Inside Cover
• The inside cover has a picture of the two characters exchanging flowers. This is split up by the middle of
the CD cover to show that the relationship has ended.This may not be obvious to the viewer but after
watching the music video it has an effect on them.
• Some of the lyrics are also shown because it’s part of the narrative and gives more information to the
viewer.

5. CD & Advert
• The CD has a picture of hands in a shape if a heart.This represents the love
shown in the music video.
• The advert has a shadow of the male character in the video looking into the
distance.The shadow represents negative emotions which are shown in
parts of the video and links to a key part in the video where the character is
looking over a balcony remembering the relationship.This is where the
audience finds out the relationship has ended and the good parts of the
music video are just memories.
