The document discusses the use of an original band called "Heartbreak Girl" for a coursework project. Using an original band had several advantages, including that the band wrote their own music and performed regularly, providing the type of music desired. Additionally, the band already worked well together from prior performances. The video of the band's performance was later used to promote the band on Facebook, which received positive audience feedback. To ensure continuity across parts of the coursework, the same font and images from a photo shoot of the band were used for the poster, digipak cover, and video.

1. How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
The Lyrics…
These are the lyrics that were
used by the band that
produced the song ‘Heartbreak
Girl’
A major advantage of using
this band for our
coursework, was that it was an
original band who write their
own music and perform at
venues regularly. They were
exactly the type of music we
were looking for and it was
better that the music was
original and wasn’t copied or
mimed.
It was also good to have an original band because they
already knew how to work together well, as they have
performed together many times. We later found that they
wanted to use the video for their Facebook page and as a
way of promoting the band and as you can see by the
comments of the audience feedback, this worked well.

2. The Text…
One way we linked the video with
the poster and the digipak is we used
the same font for each part of the
practical aspect of coursework. The
font style we used was ‘bebas neue’.
This has been cut from the
poster and as you can see we
have used the same font style.
This is an example of
the font style we used
on the cover of the
digipak track list.
This is the font style we used again
for the music video, which inspired
us to continue the use of it with the
poster and digipak.

3. The images…
This is the image we used for the
poster that we created. You can see
here that there are similarities with
the digipak as the band members are
wearing the same clothing which
promotes continuity.
This is the image we used for our digipak
front cover. You can see that this is very
similar to the image above, we wanted
to ensure the continuity of the images so
we decided to use this image as it did
this well and we took this image in the
same photo-shoot as the one above.
These images to the left were again took at
the same photo-shoot as the images
above. These were used on various
sections of the digipak.
