Q2) How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary texts?

Here is my advertisement and my Cd cover, I think looking at these to together they link straight away. I have used paper cranes on both pieces which links to my music video as well as it is a big part of the video. Also here you can see that the artist is wearing the folk rock clothing as he does in the music video. I have used the same background for both products which links the two pieces together. The text is the colour in both items, I have done this so that the audience can remember them and picture them together. I have also made it red which stands out on the background making it easier for the audience to picture and remember it. I chose to have the name of the hit single in the top right, this is becuase the audience tend to read from the top left across. I chose to have the hit single as this is what the audience would know. I thought that if the audience had heard the song on the radio then they are more likey to read on. They can then read the name of the artist and the other information that is on the advert. These both have the same text font and the colour. This helps the the Cd cover and the advertisement link because the audience will tell they are for the same artist and the same album.

As you can see with the screen grabs from my music they also link with my  Cd cover and my advertisement. The clothing that I have used is the same through out my music video and in my advert and Cd cover. I chose to use this clothing because when I did my research this indie clothing was a convetion from the genre folk rock. I used the guitar as well in both my Cd cover and my music video, this was because from when watching real media texts guitars were seen through out. I chose to keep the convention of having the guitar as it allows the audience to recognize the genre easily.

Below is a short video that shows part of my music video next to my Cd cover and my advertisement. I then talk through some of the similarities that my music video and my ancillary products have in common.
