How effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary texts?
Front Cover Image
The style of image which we took and used for the front
cover of our digipack and poster shows clear connection
between we scene which we have included in our main
video task where three girls are shown in the same with
almost identical make up, hair colour and look of nudity.
One of our main aims for the video was to ensure that the
characters in it linked together and that there was an
obvious relationship between them so that no one
character looked random or out of place. Although our
main model was not in this scene, we have made reference
to the fact that she may have been present at the time by
shooting a photo which is so similar to the scene and
simply clarifies a friendship between the trio and the main
model giving them a purpose in the video.
Models Appearance
Throughout the video I feel that the
main model has a very obvious style in
terms of make up and clothing which fits
her attitude and actions. The model is
never seen as bare as she is in the
ancillary during the video, her clothing is
always provocative and her nudity which
can be seen in the ancillary pushes the
boundaries one step further in the
transition between the two tasks.
Although she is not wearing any clothing
in the ancillary tasks, I feel that her style
has remained the same; emphasising to
the audience that the rebellious and
mischievous ways they see in the video
is a true representation of her persona
rather than looking like it has been put
on for the video.

Lips
All of the models which feature in the
video are wearing red lipstick as a
methods of uniting them together, this is
something which we have carried into our
ancillary task. We chose red lipstick as this
fits with the provocative theme of our
video. On the ancillary I feel that this pop
of colour works particularly well as a visual
weight in the centre of the cover to attract
the viewers eye where they will then begin
the text below. Using exactly the same red
lipstick on all models throughout both
tasks allows there to be a very obvious
connection between all of the characters
allows viewers to understand that they are
all together rather than random people
popping up that have no relationship to
the main model.
Text
In addition to using images to connect
our products together we have ensured
that the font we have used is the same
throughout both of our ancillary tasks to
ensure consistency throughout them. We
have only used one font for all of the text
as it is a simple sans serif which is easy to
read and uncomplicated, similar to the
feel good message we are portraying
with out video. In addition to this, the
font used for ancillary is very similar to
the one which we used for the opening
title banner and ‘turn it up’ text on the
video. Although the rest of the titles we
included on the video were hand
written, they were still written in a sans
serif format which was similar to the
computer generated font.

Two Ancillary Pieces
We have ensured that there is connection between
the two ancillary pieces we have created by using
the same image on both the front cover of the
digipak and the poster. Not only did we do this due
to it being such as striking image, with the lips as a
strong visual drawing you into the middle of the
image. Through research I also found that this is
popular technique which many artists have recently
used in order to make the album they are
promoting more memorable.
Inside Her Head
When researching the style of digipack which would
be most appropriate for our own product we was
instantly attracted to the close up shot of the front
and back of the models head. Not only did this
appeal to us for the proactive and open look which it
would enable us to give the digipack which reflects
our video. But also when the digipack is put together
the digipack is a representation of her head, the
front being her face and the reverse being the back
of her head with everything in between being the
‘what goes on inside her head’. Due to the video
being such as personal account of her life and
antics, suggesting that opening the digipack would
be like opening up her mind is very accurate.
Combination of Scenes
Scenes From The Video
Inside Right
Inside Left
The two images which have been used for
the inside pages of the digipak have been
selected from what we believe to be two of
the best scenes in the video, showing a
strong connection between our main and
ancillary task. The image of the main model
and the dog was shot at the same time as
when we was re-filming footage for the video
meaning that the models hair, make
up, costume and mise en scene was exactly
the same. We could not create an optical
illusion which was exactly the same however
this does not matter as we have used a
variety of black and white optical illusions in
the video, therefore the one which we used
for the right inside looks as if it was one of
those. By using images which mirror scenes
from our digipack the audience will feel
familiar with the model and her
behaviour, making the video more enjoyable
for them to watch.
