Ancillary Feedback

After analysing these comments I can clearly see that my audience fully understood the synergy within my product as they pointed out things such as using the same location in both my music music video and digipak.In addition to this they really liked my ancillary work stating that really liked the colours that I used and the fact they could clearly understand what genre I was representing

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

The technologies we have used have been vital in the making of this project.
To film we have used: new cameras and used memory cards to put them onto the mac computers to then use in final cut pro to edit the clips.
While this was all going on we were using blogger to update everything we was doing and also twitter to let the teachers know where and when we was filming.
the internet was used a lot for research purposes.



Photoshop was the main thing used for my digipak.

How effective is the combination of your main product (video) and ancillary texts (digipak and advertisement?) 

My music video and ancillary follow a clear visual link in many different ways.

Firstly, the setting of my front cover and one of our base tracks in the video are in the same location which is Alexandra Palace. The back of the CD cover is also a landscape view of Alexandra Palace although I put the focus more on the sky and clouds as I felt that they fit in with the theme more as the overall theme is quite dark and sinister and grey clouds create a dull dark theme too. 

I made all of it black and white as we also have black and white in our music video and also because of the theme. The artist is shown on the front cover for the audience to familiarise themselves with this new upcoming artist. 

My inside panel still continues with the black and white theme. The inside picture is an image of the artist which was inspired by james blake as he had a similar image for his album cover, and then i added a quote from the song we made a video to. The CD  has a city image on it in black and white too which also has his name and album name on it.

My advert has the image of the album cover so people can remember this image. The same fonts have been used to create the advert for synergy. The audience will remember this font which will always remind them of Nathan Grey as it will be his signature font and also the font for his album 'Overgrown'. I have made the font blue so it will stand out a bit more to the viewers especially as it is an advert so it will be the first thing people look at.

I have collect some data from my blogger work to see what type of websites I used during blogging, from this I found out that the most websites I used were creating websites and softwares such as Pixlr and Final Cut Pro, this is because creating was the main aspect in the course as we had to make a music video and ancillary. Whereas I used social media the least as I considered this to be the least important
