main product and ancillary texts?

Evaluation Question 2

2. I believe that the combination of my main product is effective
because I have ensured that they all relate together. One
example of how I have done so is through the use of my
actor. I have ensured that Martin, my actor, has featured in
all three of my tasks and ensured that it is clear to see that
he is the main focus. I think that this is effective because it
shows that it is his story, and it wouldn’t make sense if I had
three different actors on the three different tasks. Another
example of how I have combined the three tasks is through
the use of the surroundings. I have ensured that the
audience can see that nature is a theme in all three of my
tasks. I have done this because it can show that Martin is
alone with nature. I think that this works because after the
break up it helps to show that Martin is by himself.

3. Music Video
The overall plot is that it is
following Martin through the
breakup, so him being by
himself is seen regularly in
my music video, as well as
my ancillary tasks. As you
can see to the right, there is
a screenshot that I took from
my music video of Martin.
This shows him by himself,
surrounded by nature.
Nature is also something
that I have made a big
theme of my coursework.

4. Digipack
In my digipack, it shows Martin
by himself surrounded by nature.
This theme is shown throughout
all 3 of my tasks. As you can see,
there is an evident link between
the digipack and the previously
mentioned music video. In my
digipack, it shows Martin, who is
seen in my music video, as well
as the other theme of nature. I
believe that having a link
between the two is very
important as it gives the image of
the artist and doesn’t confuse the
audience.

5. Music magazine advertisement
In my music magazine
advertisement (right), it shows
Martin looking towards the camera
in an alleyway. At the bottom of
the music magazine
advertisement, I have put in an
image of leaves and faded it out
into the image. I believe this works
nicely as I have a theme of nature
so it fits in with that. Again, it
shows Martin as the artist so this
combines with the other 2 tasks
nicely.

6. Audience Feedback
I believe that it is very important to gain some audience
feedback for all 3 of my tasks. This is because I will
know what to improve and I will also know what is good
about my tasks. Below is some of the information that I
gathered.
“I think the combination between the three tasks works
very well as it is clear to see that nature is a big part of
the promotional package. In all three tasks you can see
nature has a big role to play. For example, at the bottom
of the music magazine advertisement there is an image
of leaves blended into the original image.”
“All three of the tasks have the same actor in it, and it is
very important because it shows the audience that this
is the artist and it is all based around him.”
