Question 2

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

The main link between my music video and my print productions is the theme of friendships, because in my video my two actors are portrayed as best friends and for my digipak panel 3 I have these same girls. I chose to have the girls holding hand and sitting close together to show their close friendship this links with my music video because they are holding hands at point in the video and also they sit and stand close together. This panel is also sunny natural lighting and a high angle because in my video one of the shots of the girls is high and my video is outside in the sun. Both media products also have very warm colours because again they are connoting summer. My video is set outside this creates connotations of freedom, my print production images are also taken outside because I wanted to carry on this theme. My panel 2 is of one of my actors jumping of a bench I have then added the lyrics of the song over the top of the image and doubled it and slightly changed each image, this again shows freedom and happiness and because of the lyrics over the top it links directly to my video and song. Another general theme from both my music video and print productions is the theme of happiness; I have created very optimistic and uplifting imagery for both.
