Evaluation 2: How effective is the combinations of your main product and ancillary texts?
Overall, i think all the texts i produced under my music video synergies well altogether. The music video is a foundation of atmosphere and narrative which the ancillary being the poster and CD cover builds from.
The music video clearly shows dark and depression at the start through what is shown, such as the use of colours being black and white throughout until the character leaves everything behind, and that point through the change of colour is incredibly significant which is also picked up by the audience through feedback so i decided to create the most significant point of the video to be what represents the music vide as a whole. This being through the poster, the poster represents the character's escapism and how he is trapped but can see the light through on the other side, this is completely captured through the problems covering the doorway although through the doorway is his freedom. Not only does this have effect on the poster but it furthers the significance in the music video as they compliment each other.
I also did research into album posters to find what makes a good album poster and i found many which had the artist's name on, the record label and reviews, for example Low, by David Bowie:
Name of the artist, album name and description review at the bottom alongside the record label, i took a lot of inspiration from existing ancillary texts such like this in creating my poster. I used this poster specially as a guide line for my poster. After analysing this and many others i decided it was completely necessary to have the record label company on the poster so i added them at the bottom left, alongside reviews which also seemed to be very popular amongst posters for marketing value. After all the adjustments the poster looked successful due to it's legitimateness look with the name of the artist, album, reviews and record label.
From feedback i was told that it looked successful in conveying a music video poster which connected to my music video, established itself well and looked professional so i finished the poster and printed it out in A3, which from the perspective of real life made it look even better.
