I think
that my media product and ancillary tasks link together and look very effective
and memorable. The idea was to makes sure that both the product and the
ancillary tasks were unique and memorable. To keep them both
consistent I used the same effect on both the products and made
sure that my main protagonist was a key aspect of my main media product
and my ancillaries. I think that by having the main protagonist really
emphasized on both if the products it puts a familiar face for the audience
to identify.
I had to
organize a photo to get some shots for my ancillary tasks; I wanted my main
protagonist to be wearing similar clothing as to the shoot at the forest and
the main hall shot. It was key that she wore dark clothing so that it helped to
emphasize the darkness and the danger that she was in. I took some of the
photos when filming the forest scenes. I had a separate day for the shooting in
the main hall and the photo shoot so I had to make sure that my main
protagonist was wearing the same clothing so that it fitted together. The
lighting for both of the shoots that I had were differently done when filming
in the forest I used natural lighting and in the main hall I used artificial
lighting to create an effect of shadows around and on the main protagonist. It
really helped me making the ancillary task alongside making the actual video
because it meant that I could reflect the ancillaries to the way I was editing
my main video. This meant that my ancillary tasks and main video were pretty
similar.
Below is some of the photos from my shoot:
Research
When
making my ancillary tasks I had to start of by researching both a digi pak and
music video posters. I thought that by researching some ideas it made it easier
for me to generate ideas. It also meant that I could see what was done in the
past and use and adapt their ideas to make my own. Because I already do
Photography A2 I knew how to use Photoshop, which meant that it was a lot
quicker for me to edit the photos and it meant that I could play around more
with the different effects. I looked at many different music video posters; I
also looked at just black and white posters because my film is mostly in black
and white and I thought that by carrying this out on the digi pak and the
poster it would make more of a statement.
Codes and
Conventions
I used
some regular codes and conventions for my ancillary tasks. I used the same font
for both my digi pak and poster this helps to show that they are both linked. I
also used the same effect so the photos were in black and white and then it had
the trippy effect of the pink and blue colour layered into the photos. This
shows that all 3 of my products are linked and it is a very distinct effect.
From my research I found out that the audience wanted a clear connection
between all of the products made so that it was easier to tell that they were
all linked.
I used
the conventions of the person being alone in both my digi pak and my poster so
that it shows that the main protagonist is lost and alone. I also made the
photos in high contrast and darker to show that there is a darkness and this
shows that there is something she is hiding from because in the digi pak for
the front cover you can see half her face which could either infer that
something is taking over her or she is hiding from something.
This is my digi pak.
Poster
This is my final poster below.
