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

In order to maintain a clear image and theme, throughout our process of completing our music video we had done independent research and planning so that we were able to keep focused on the main storyline. Given the fact that there were some changes throughout the process, for instance our storyline had changed due to the influences of the narrative meeting typical expectations, although we wanted to develop a unique idea and with the support of having presented our presentation to our teacher and audience, we were able to sustain how we could make the narrative appear interesting. When having noticed this we had undertaken the planning process once again and adapted it. We also had the support of our storyboard which allowed us to follow a specific order so that we kept organised and had control of what we were doing. With comparing and contrasting our music video to our website design, they both create a similar ambiance as they focus on the impact of isolation and being lonely. With having looked at Christina Perris’ images on Google, so that we could maintain a similar image with our actress, it enabled us to develop a similar style, however we found that it would be better to develop some independent ideas of our own, by, using a wedding dress in our music video, and also having the actress wear heavy make up so that we were able to gain a gory atmosphere. The tone of the website is set in black and white, in comparison to the music video we had also used black white scenes in order to put forward to the audience that the singer is reflecting back to the past. Though, on our website we had taken a photo of the actress which was placed on the website in colour, and the image is placed in a forest which has a misty foggy feel developed. With doing this, we wanted to emphasise the time, by reflecting on inevitable events that happened in the past and events that happened in the present time. With the reflection technique we wanted to emphasise that it was all a dream, with having the cold feeling we thought that it had supported the technique well. We also used the effect of having barbed wires which continued off a banner which had Christina Perris’ name written on it which had love hearts which were destroyed, in black and healthy love hearts in red. We developed this technique so that it is clear that as a soul dies a new soul grows. This enables the reader to understand and experience the hurt and pain yet also the strengths of becoming strong and independent again. We had also found that it would have been interesting to have some writing on the front page so that the audience is able to receive and update, we also thought it would have been a good idea to have a shot of our music video process which would allow the audience develop some interest in how the music video was constructed and that it has been released.
