2. How have you connected all three of your products?
ο There are various ways in which all 3 of my products are
connected, but the main way in which they are connected is
through synergy; which occurred through the viewing of the same
charcaters recognisable through there costume, and the setting
which on the whole remained the same, and can be seen as the
same in digipak, poster and video.
Same Font
The photo we used in the poster was that
of the front cover in our digipak, I took
influnce to do this from my research an
example being the release of the gorillaz
plastic beach album where they did the
same.
Synergy can also be seen though the font we used
in our poster and digipak, where the text is the
same.
3. What do your ancillary texts
add to your main text?
My ancillary texts has impacted my main text. Firstly it has
enhanced the professional look and feel that an album
release would always have. Also with the poster cover it
allowed us to show a five star rating and various review
which would also be seen on a bi album release. Also with
the digipak which includes the lyrics and inside panels as
well as the front cover, all of these make our whole project
more real and believeable, which was the main aim.
4. Do your 3 products have a shared identity and how
could you have developed your products to increase
their synergy?
I would say my products do have a shared identity as each of
them can be recognised by the design, i.e font, colours.
To increase synergy more I would have
included more shots of the characters
on the bridge as this was key feature in
our ancillary task. I would of also made
each charcter where the same clothes
in camden, to keep the continuity.
Lastly in terms of the digipak I would have added
the star rating on one of the panels as I believe
thatβs a key piece of information that should be on
and album.
5. How do you feel about your
final products?
Also there were a few shakey pans that looked very
unprofessional. Having said all of this I do believe that
there were some nice frames for example at the end
where the camera pans across to 4 of the characters.
Personally I feel that the outcome of our
ancillary task were better than the musc
video, purely because they looked more
believable and professional. I feel that the
synergy between each part of this product
was good and you could clearly see
recognisable links. I think my video was good,
but could have been better, we over-used
the green screen
If I was to do this again I would shoot more footage and use
less green screen, I would also make sure a tri-pod was
present on each location, to stop shakey pans from occuring.
6. What have your target audience said
about how effective your products
are?
In terms of our digpak and
poster cover the target
audience told us that it did
look professional and
believeable, where they
thought the font and
background image were
good, some thought the font
got a bit repetative, but we
explained the synergistic
reason behind it to them.
Our target audience understood the concept
about teenagers just messing around and not
having a care in the world and infact liked the
green screen shots and they saw the potential.
