Draft evaluation question 2.

How Effective is the Combination of Your Main Product and Ancillary Texts?
The combination of my main product and ancillary texts work well together as there is a colour scheme which is black, white and grey. This is used throughout both my advert and digipack. they also connect with my video as some of the photos i used in my digipack were from some of the shots in my video for example the band shots in my video, that room was also where one of my photos in my digipack was taken.I also used all of the people in my video on the digipack and the advert as i think this was a good way of connecting all three products together to create an audeince recognition of the star image.
My digipack changed a lot as my original idea, although worked for a grungy band, did not connect to my main product at all. this is then why i started changing things around. As for the name of the album 'Circles', this was chose as i wanted to link it to the song of our music video. It linked as the song she is singing about that she cant get out of what she is stuck in and so it is like she is going round in circles. this is where the idea came from.
The advert also changed around a lot as i wanted the audience to see it and understand which band it was advertising. My first idea did not have a picture of any of the band members at all, nor did it connect with my video. This is then why i decided to take out an image from the digipack of all the band so that the audience reading it could relate to it.
The fonts of my main band name is on both of the digipack and the advert. i did this so that my band name could be recognised. The text inside my digipack is also the same font as what i used for my band name and i did this so that the audience became used to they type of font they were looking for when wanting something so do with my band. Another [art that i made connect with the digipack and advert was the record label. I made sure it was big enough for people to see and recognise and also that record label works with lots of other grungy band and so people that listen to my bands music would recognise the record label. The record label was placed in around the same place on both my advert and digipak which was at the bottom left. I did tbhis as i thought it would stand out more and also people would know were to look.
The outfits that my band where in my main media product and the photos on the advert and digipack are the same. i did this because i thought that it would be easier for the audience to connect and recognise my band. I had the boys in the group wear simple clothing so that they did not stand out to much but also to follow with the style that i wanted to give to my band. As for laura She is also wearing the same jacket in the video and photos in my digipack, on My front cover, and also on the advert. i did this as i thought the jacket made her recognisable and stand out from the boys in the band who just had t shirts on.
The eye makeup was made heavy so that lauras eye stand out, this would give off a vibe of emotion and understand of the style of the band too. I wanted quite i strong lookinglead singer and i think that the makeup helps her to achieve this as it allows her to really connect with the camera which then allows her to connect with the audience.
