My Video

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

There is no doubt that the combination between the main product and the two ancillary tasks is extremley effective.

When creating my ancillary tasks in particular, I realised there had to be a distinct theme between them so they could all be linked together and recognised as a package, promoting each other.

Since the main product, the music video, is the catalyst for promotion and sales of the album, I realised that the magazine had to clearly assist and guide the way for the introduction of the album cover. This is why similar forms and conventions can be found in both the magazine advert and the album cover. I decided that the audience had to clearly distinguish what they were looking for and the only way of doing this was to make my advert stand out in order to sell albums.















All three products equally have a connection with the intended genre and therefore target audience.

The heroic themes in the magazine advert and the album cover also link in with the main product as the heroic nature of the male character ultimately saved the relationship.
