The document discusses how various ancillary texts for a music video - including a CD cover, magazine advertisement, and inside CD cover - effectively complement and relate to the main music video product. Specifically: 1) The magazine ad uses similar imagery, colors, and framing as scenes in the music video to promote the theme and artist. 2) The front and back CD cover relate to the black and white aesthetic and shots of the artist in the music video. 3) The inside CD cover features a similar black and white shot of the artist from the music video location along with song lyrics. Overall, the ancillary texts are unified with the music video through consistent use of imagery, colors,

4. Front and back of CD cover The digipak design- the front and back of the CD promotes the artist as seen in the main product. The image at the front cover is filled with a dark background with the image being in black and white. The artist is looking directly at the camera and the typography is in bold red with a different font used. The back of the CD cover relates to the front cover and the video as it has a dark effect then goes into a light effect to give some light on the artist’s face. This is where he is looking away from the camera leaning against the wall, which is shown in some parts of the main product in black and white and colour. The magazine advert and CD cover designs have different images as I feel that the digipak design focuses more on the promoting the artist and the magazine advert focuses on the main theme of the song which represents a stereotypical image of the artist. I have used the same colour theme overall for the CD cover design and magazine advert which shows that I have used a consistent colour scheme to follow the US codes and conventions as the main product is a based UK music video. Overall, there has been a close link of our music video to the ancillary texts as I have made sure to use a mixture of black and white and colour photos to display my ancillary texts which shows a link to the music video as the main product is shot in black and white and colour.

5. Inside of CD cover My inside cover includes the artist’s biography and his lyrics to the song let me flow. This photo was taken at a similar place to the location of the video which shows a combination to our main product. This is also a similar shot that is seen in our music video. A side angle shot of the artist looking away from the camera in black and white is used in the main product. This is where I used this shot from the video for the inside of the CD cover.
