2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My music video uses the forms and conventions of real media products as it has a narrative sequence and a solo shot where the artist is focussed on. This is common within music videos and is what made me use the idea as it is typical of music videos in this genre. The lighting differences are not of the general forms and conventions with in music videos so this challenges it. The close-ups that are within my music video are also in use of the forms and conventions as this is within most video and is within mine as there is a focus on my artist and it follows her within the narrative sequence as well centring her and making it known that she is the most important character.
3. How well do you think your main product works with your ancillary texts? I think that my music video, my magazine advert and my Digipak work well together by showing a consistent theme throughout them which links to the genre stereo-types surrounding blues and pop. The song is very mellow and about love so I was able to use a darkened theme throughout to match the themes and lyrics of her songs, which are mainly about relationships.
4. I used the black and white shots in my music video to convey the bad times as she would have seen them and the fighting through the pain idea. This was then moved onto the Digipak and magazine ad as it is the general theme of her album. And I have shown below the similarities and the consistency I have used to get this idea across throughout my texts. I had the use of grey to be added into my Digipak so that the colour scheme was kept. This is from my music video and all the narrative shots are Black & White. This is the front and back of my Digipak which contains the themes colours.
5. I also kept a lot of pictures of the artist involved in both ancillary texts as there is a demand from the record company for lots of close-ups which I also used within my music video. My music video has close-up shots throughout the chorus and is focussed on within the narrative. This close-up is from within my Digipak The close-ups of my artists is also shown in the advert magazine I made.
