Evaluation - Question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

The combination of my main products and ancillary texts are very effective, this is because my digipak and the music video go together every well as a whole. the main thing they have common is the fact that they both have a cartoon effect. my digipak's font is bold and colorful and my music video at some bits has its own colorful and cartoonie effects.



First of all our music genre is electro/house music, through the planning and research we did I was able to gather different types of digipak, magazine adverts and music which were all from the same genre of our electro/house music. Gathering digipaks and magazine adverts from our research helped me to structure mu media products.


My digipak itself was very colourful simply because the research which I did I found that most of the real electro/house digipaks has a vide of colour and brightness in them, the digipaks from real products have different techniques, sometime they used bright colour and some they used dark colours. furthermore one of the key aspect of my digipak was the to make it look as funky as possible, I did this because I wanted my digipak to have the same sort of affect and feel as our music video, this was very impostant to me because I wanted our target audience to notice and sense the link from our music video and my digipak. However my magazine advert had more similarities to my digipak and music video, I used a different method here because I didn’t want all of my media products to have exactly the same vide as each other, so what I did for my magazine advert was the used dark colours this time to give it more of a deadly vide to it.


Overall I think that the combination of my product and ancillary texts was very effective because with the help of the research me and my group did we were able to find different ideas how real media products use different techniques for the combinations from which I was able to forward towards my media products.

However my magazine advert does not fit in with my music video and digipak. i did this because i wanted to give my media project a different result and outcome, what this does is bring a whole other product to the time.
