A formal goodbye

I would like to thank the media department for their generous help, I would like to thank blogger for allowing me to use their website, I would like to thank OCR for such an extensive curriculum, I would like to thank City and Islington for allowing me to enter their college, I would like to thank Rebecca and Marisa for being great teachers, last but not least I would like to thank my peers, Naziara, Alisha, Nazim (because he made me) and those reading this blog. I hope I entertained you over the two years of media, I hope you enjoyed my music video and ancillary work. GOODBYE X

How effective is the combination of your main product (video) and ancillary texts (digipak and advertisement)?
 So I think that the main element of my CD cover is the image of the artist. This is the photo shoot which we took while shooting the canal scene. The image is greatly recognisable because the artist is wearing an identical version of the costume she did for the canal scene. Once people have seen the video, they could identify that this is the same artist on the ancillary work will increase profits. The thing about the canal scene was that the features were so bold (Red lips, red dress, floral scarf) that it contrasted so well with the scenery of the canal - Particularly because it was shot in daylight. Since I used this image, I moulded the whole album lead by the use of bold colours - By using a minimum of 3 main colours and two fonts.

I also found a lot of people liked the fact that my music video included a variety of costume changes - I used another photo  from the canal scene for the inside booklet in order to combine it with the image on the front cover - I didn't want to over-do anything, since my video contained so many different scenes, I stuck to one look so that the artist would be more likely to be recognized in the same look - Since she a upcoming artist. The second photo in my digital was actually taken in the same position as a shot in my music video - I did this so the audience could be able to see how the photo shoot is linked to the music video. 

My magazine advertisement is almost identical to my digital pack - Again, I didn't want to change a lot because I wanted the artist to be recognised by this particular image on her CD cover. This piece was inspied by Jessie J's 'Who you are' billboard advertisements. 

As you can see here, the image scale is so large that it fills most of the poster - This means the attention is all on the album and the artist at first sight. If I were to use a few images, this could possibly confuse the artist as the scenes would not be able to relate to eachother. Overall I think my digipak works really well with the canal scene and the colours and theme is allowed to relate to one another by the conventions which I followed - I think that I did follow the conventions of a typical pop CD and Advertisement which focuses aswell as promotes the artist and album.
