I believe the combination of my main product (music video) and ancillary texts (magazine advert and Digipack) is very effective as I have linked the two using a variety of creative methods:
Music Video and Magazine Advert- Through linking the theme and genre:
We created a theme which would be used throughout my music video and magazine advert. For example we stuck to a certain colour theme with mainly grey, blue, red, yellow (gold) and purple which are used in our music video and we kept the same colours on the ancillary task as the drum is painted blue, the electric guitar is gold and the bass guitar is purple. We chose these colours as I realised whilst analysing the conventions of other music videos of my chosen genre they usually only choose dull and dismal colours which reflect on the mood of the song and the the band. It also reflects on the earthiness of the genre instead of usign bright primary colours which suits the 'Pop' genre or neon colours which suit the 'Nu-Rave' genre.
I also think that as our magazine advert is of a picture with just the drums, electric guitar and bass guitar, (which are the same instruments that are used in the music video) this reflects on the music and feel of our music video and chosen song.
Magazine Advert and DigipackI realised that with many artists they usually have a trademark font which is used to establish their name and to link all their products together. Therefore we kept the font and colour of all the texts on the magazine advert and the digipack cover the same. We also created a 'logo' which wasalso used on both products.
Again the colour scheme of gold, blue and black is used to link the digipack and magazine advertisement together as a promotional package.
young lady, where is question 3 and 4 lol. I like your first question. There is a lot of visual material and it is written well
ReplyDeleteits Gabrielle again, what about your digipak???
ReplyDeleteyou need to upload them and maybe compare the mise en scene and cinematography in the digipak to that in the music vid.
Your visual elements entry doesn't actually say anything. You need to explain how this is a convention of the genre, beyond just saying that the genre of music uses these instruments.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gabrielle, you are missing many of your entries for the blog.
The points you make about choice of colour and font are good - but I want to see more! You need examples from all your ancillary tasks and show how they all challenge or co-opt the conventions of the chosen genre.
