How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
I think the ancillary tasks captures the same mood as our music video, which is why they work so well together. The photo shoot for the task used a black and white theme which effects the mood of the album but with the doodle, it adds a light hearten feel to the CD which is what happens in the music video. From looking at real world examples, I have seen that other popular pop album covers have also gone for the black and white simple theme.
With the album cover looking much darker to what the video is, a real life example to work from is Ariana Grande. Her album is with the black and white theme and is very simple and clean where as her videos are much more colorful and quirky.
As well as the theme of the album working well with the video,the front cover of the CD has the actor of the video and not of the singer. This was due to changes in the actors timing and we had to get in another singer to replace him but by this time we had already done the photo shoot and had to stick to what we had. A real world example of this is Fall Out Boys American Beauty/ American Psycho album. On the cover, it has a young boy who is nothing to do with the band but in the self titled song, he is the main actor of it and is shown within the video. As well as the actor being shown, the band
does make an appearance as well, very much linking back to our music video and album art work.
For our advert in the magazine, we used photos from the same shoot but with a white background, giving it a much lighter hearten feel to the album. Because the back and white backgrounds work together, people can link the two together and this will make them more remembered and interesting. photobooth reel on the poster as well to again, give it a light hearten feel but add a twist to the story in the video as they look happy and as a "normal" couple in the images, is slightly different to what goes on in the video.This is why I believe they work so well together as they portray a different story to what goes on and will interest people to see the real story and be shocked to see the truth behind it.
