How effective is the main products

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

2. Music Video – 9 Crimes
My A2 music video looks at certain themes including romance and loneliness.
The narrative within this video explains the type of relationship between the
two artists: mainly looking at how they are beginning to live separate lives
while being together and showing that even when they can leave, they
always end up back with each other.

3. Effectiveness
As a whole, I believe that my music video is effective in illustrating the simple
narrative I have chosen. This is because I have used the micro-technical
elements in a way that has them all link together to become one piece and
one message. Through the use of the filters, I have helped the audience
understand the tone of the message that I am portraying, which allows them
to understand the narrative a lot quicker – which is helped even further by
the message given through the lyrics. I also believe the narrative clips are
effective in delivering the correct message because of the acting and their
direction that was given during filming.
However, if I were to film this again, I would have tried to include more
scenarios where we see the relationship struggling rather than having a long
intro to the relationship through the first minute of the video so that the
message is a lot more clear.

4. Ancillary Texts
My first ancillary text is the digipak
which consists of two disks (a CD and a
DVD including my music video), as well
as a front cover with two insert covers
and the back cover showing the albums
tracklist.
The second ancillary text I created
is the promotional poster for the
album ‘Sleep don’t weep’

5. Effectiveness
I feel that both my digipak and promotional poster for my
music video are effective in the way that they have
followed the conventions I had previously researched
and they also carry a house style throughout the three
products in terms of colours and the main artist.
If I was to create my digipak and promotional poster again,
I would decide to take more images of the main artist so
that I had more of a variety available.
