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

I have developed all three of our products where by they all have a link and a synergistic

element to them,  I have done this through all three stages of pre-production, production and p

post-production as I had to think about the link throughout the process in order for it to be a

success.

 Music Video:

Digipak: 

Magazine Advert:

What connects all three of our products?

The connection between our three products is the 4 boys. After we had filmed out music video

we thought that it would only be logical to include the people that were featured heavy in the

music video to be in the two print products to make it clear to our target audience who is in the

group and if anyone was to look at the all three of our products it would be clear who is in the

band. Moreover to have a strong link between our two print products ( Magazine Advert &

Digipak) we decided to put an effect on both of the pictures used. We went out separately to

take still images for our print products to make sure the quality of the picture was really good,t

he picture that we used for our Magazine Advert was taken in darkness but we added effect

through editing and it turned out to look really professional.

Do all three of your products develop each other?

On our Digipak we have a logo at the bottom that is a production company which is also on our

magazine which adds a synergistic element as well as making both products look professional.

Furthermore the Facebook, Twitter and YouTube Logo are all in the bottom right of the

magazine advert if you wanted to find out more about him or listen to more of his music.





Having Gold star on the steps on the magazine advert really empathizes he is the artist of the piece

of music and sell's his name as the leading name, there are no lyric's in the Digipak as there are very

little words however we did follow the conventions of a Digipak within our genre and the songs that

are on the album are on the back panel of the Digipak.

We constructed our Digipak pack in two ways. We wanted the quality of the pictures to be really

good so we didn't want to screen-grab 6 pictures from our music video, so we decided to mix

pictures of still's from when we made our magazine advert, we then picked out still' from our

music video that were of high quality and we wanted to use in our Digipak. We ended up picking

two so that it would have the link between the music video and the Digipak.

One of the panels was taken up from the disk in which we used GoldStars official logo to fit the

shape of the disc which brings in the synergistic element of GoldStars logo and something that

you would recognise.

The last three panels were made up from all still photo's that were all in contention to be used

for our magazine advert so we still wanted to include them but they weren't good enough to be

the main image, all three of these photo's are linked as they are all edited with the same effect

and all taken in the dark adding the faded element to them.

Overall the three products that I have created are to a very high standard and all work well together

and look like they would be sold as a package not three separate products with all three products

being finished to a very professional standard across all three stages of pre-production, production

and post-production. Across all three products there is a strong synergistic element which really binds

all three products together.
