The document discusses the links between the main products (Digipak, CD design, magazine advert, video stills) created for a music project. It explains that the Digipak and magazine advert are connected through their use of contrasting day and night images from the same photo shoot location. Additionally, the ancillary texts and music video directly connect through using the same locations depicted in both the front cover presenting day and the back cover/magazine article presenting night aspects of the video. Overall the document reflects that the products maintain genre conventions while being original and the links between them provide context to understand the music video by presenting its locations and genre through brightness in images.

6. Links Between all products
• Throughout the entire journey of creating my groups three final
products, I have tried to make sure that there have been links
between all three to enable me to be able to show synergy.
• The connection between the Digipak and Magazine Advert is the
locations. With the Digipak the front and back covers contrast as
they represent day and night. The night half directly link to the
magazine advert because both images have come from the same
photo shoot that took place at Northolt hills.

7. Links Between all products
• The connection between the two
ancillary texts and the music
video are also very direct. All the
locations used within the music
video are same locations I used
for the music video The Front
cover presents Piccadilly Circus
the day aspect of the music video
and the Back cover and Magazine
Article present a part of the night
aspect of the video.
• I believe that the ancillary text
give the audience a context of the
music video by presenting the
locations and a sense of the
genre by the brightness, by even
the night images.

8. Reflection
• Overall, I am please with my three final products because of the originality
of them, whilst still maintaining the conventions of the genre. I am also
happy with the three product because of the positive responses I received....
• “I would give it a 10/10.”
• “I like how all of the effects help link the products together.”
• “There are many references to the actual song (Light Up The Sky) by you
showing night and day in the music video and CD.”
• The only negative piece of feed back we received was that our magazine
advert didn't follow the structure that all magazine adverts do, which is that
they are portrait.
• However during my research I came across many successful albums that
that used a horizontal structure instead.
