The document discusses how the representation of the artist is different between the main music video and ancillary texts. In the music video, the artist is represented as down-to-earth through everyday clothing, but in black and white ancillary images he is depicted as more mysterious with contrasting black and white. This hints at different sides to the artist's personality. Some representations, like romance, are continued between the formats by associating black and white with old movies and a handwritten font with love letters. The purpose is to show the artist has multiple facets and can be submissive in one context but dominating in another.

1. Question Two
‘HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE
COMBINATION OF YOUR
MAIN PRODUCT AND
ANCILLARY TEXTS?’

2. I have represented my artist through the use of mise-
en-scene and in particular costume as being a very
down to earth and normal guy. Using the costume of
either checked shirts or plain shirts in my music video
I carried forth this representation by having my artist
wear clothes that are in trend and popular at the
minute. By having my artist wear up to the minute
clothing I represented him as being down to earth as
he follows the common trend therefore connoting a
sense of normality to the audience.

4. The representation of my artist that I created in my
ancillary texts is different to that of the one that I created
in my music video. As the images I have used are black and
white it connotes a sense of two different people to my
artist as there are two different colours. Furthermore as
white is linked to a sense of purity and graciousness and
the colour black has a feel of darkness and a sense of power
to it. I wanted these two combinations to be entwined into
the representation of my artist to hint at a sense of mystic
about who my artist is. I wanted to link this to the
representation of my artists. This whole idea of black and
white also connotes a sense of two different people and the
representation that to be able to know one side of my artist
you have to know the other.

6. I purposely created a different representation from my
music video through to my ancillary texts, as I wanted
to show that my artist has many different sides to him.
Hence why I have represented him as being a down to
earth, naive young Romeo in my music video but when
it came to my ancillary texts I have represented him as
a more vivid and powerful character. In my music
video I have portrayed my artist as being a more
submissive whereas in my ancillary texts I have
represented my artist as a more dominating character.

7. However I have carried through some of the same
representations of my artist through from my music
videos to my ancillary texts. In both I have represented
my artist as being romantic, in my ancillary texts I
created this effect by having a black and white affect
which can be associated with old black and white
movies which were mostly in the romantic genre.

8. In my actual music video I created this affect by having
my artist play the guitar, which is typically associated
with a romantic gesture towards a girl. From the use of
the colour fonts in my ancillary I carried forth the
representation of romance as I used a handwritten
font, which can be linked to writing a romantic letter
(love letter) which builds on the representation of my
artist being romantic.
