Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of you main product and ancillary texts? 

Throughout the making of the digipack, music video and webpage, our main idea was to have Sabrina (the girl running with balloons at the start of the video) on the digipack cover, this also meant that the same picture would be displayed on the website main picture. But  soon changes since our plans didn't turn out the way we planned them, as when we filmed the first scene we kept being disturbed because we filmed at a rush hour. When we came to create the webpage, digipack and a music video they needed to be linked. However, we actually came to a conclusion that using same images could be too repetitive and therefore our audience would get bored quickly. So in order for this not happen we used similar pictures but tried to maintain the same weather/theme. We kept the colour scheme and the font  consistent within the three texts in an attempt to make the image more recognisable.

Images 

Our main links between all ancillary tasks would be the nature images. The nature images link with our theme of friendship. We chose  images that presented summer, which associated with socializing which then links with friendship. The nature images are settings shown  throughout the music video apart excluding the dance scene which in contrast, the character is shown in a dark setting.The scenes which are filmed in the setting is then linked with our digi pak where each side contained a nature image from the music video. We captured images which we used in the same setting which was then used for the digi pak.This then links with the website where the front of the digi pak is used for the  main design image of our website.
Font and Colour Scheme 

Another link between the ancillary tasks would be the font. For our website, we kept with a standard font in the colours black and white. Since we was used images of forests and nature scenery, we didn't want the font to contrast with the background so we though this font style would be most appropriate. The same font is then used in the digi pak where the font was shown on a image based background. We did not add any titles to our music video so therefore, doesn't link with the other two tasks. However, the same font presents a clear between the two tasks which the audience can identify with. This is the same with the colour theme. We kept with a forest green colour scheme with black and white details which is presented through all ancillary tasks. We chose background which contained green colours in our music video to follow the sterotypical convention of our genre. We then used the same colour theme to create a link between all tasks. he colour scheme for the digi pak and the website was both demostrated through the used of the images.
