G324 Evaluation Q2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

My work does look like a music video because of the input of the band and the fun feel to the entire video. The effects I used also help to show the professional look also because in real music video's black and white is often used.  The ancillary tasks also represent real media products because they look professional. If people believe they look amateur that could also work because of the relaxed fun feel to the music video so fans can also connect to the other products as well as the video.






I believe my video is a music video you would see on Kerrang! because of the relaxed, rock feel to the song and video much like All Time Low's 'Lost In The Stereo'. The song and Band Of Skulls have been recognised by Kerrang! in the past so I believe this would also be a contributing factor to the placement of the video on the music channel. The backstage feel to my video helps because it looks professional but relaxed, like alot of music videos shown on Kerrang!

 
I believe my digipak looks like an album you would see in HMV
because it looks simple yet professional like alot of other album covers we have seen like Band Of Skulls 'Baby Darling Doll Face Honey' their album cover is simple but is also quite abstract because of the paint mirror effect they have used on their album cover. My advertisement also looks like one you'd see in Kerrang! magazine because it features the band alot like other advertisements do and also connects to the main video and album cover.






They all look like part of the same product because of the band and clips from the video on the digipak and the signs on the magazine so they all connect to each other in some sort of way. The use of sings has created brand identity for the band so that the fans recognise the signs from the video straight away. The use of the same actors for the video, advertisement and digipak also helps for the fans to recognise the products. The colours in the video are vibrant alot like the splattered paint on the digipak and magazine advertisement again creating a fun feel to the entirety of the products. The text works along side the genre because of the scruffy amateur feel to alternate rock. Again the theme was fun and relaxed like the band are in the music video so I portrayed this on all three products. The only things I dislike about my products is the digipak as I believe I could have formatted certain parts to look better, but overall I think the products are effective and all look professional.

  1. Thus needs finishing (see me, or another blog if you're not sure why), and you must also upload Q3. Blog looking good overall, but make sure it falls into L4 and not 3. It's touch and go at the moment. Refer to exemplar blogs and help sheets for more advice.
