How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary texts?

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

2. What is your main product?
• My main product is a narrative music video for the song ‘Astronauts’
by BriBry
• I wanted to explore the struggles
faced by students as exam season
is fast approaching.
• In my video, Emily is severely
struggling to cope with the pressures
and Arthur notices and helps her.

3. What are your two ancillary products?
Poster CD Pack
The CD pack had to follow the
same line as the poster, if it was
going to be part of a set. This
therefore meant that I had to find
another copyright free image of a
nebula and edit that the same
way and use
the same tools
on Illustrator
and Photoshop
To advertise the artist and the
song, I had to make a poster. After
receiving successful and positive
feedback, I
developed this
even further. My
research showed
that artists of the
indie/pop genre
are commonly
known to use
similar designs.

4. Which of the three products are the
strongest?
• If I was to compare all three products (my poster, CD design, and
music video), I would conclude that my poster is the strongest.
• This is because I was able to explore and research all the different sub
genre conventions within the indie/pop genres. There are so many
different styles approached, that I have a lot more freedom,
compared to if I was making a video for a rock or metal song.
• However, I do feel that my video allowed me to challenge stereotypes
and challenge the provocative nature of pop music videos of today.
