Question 2 - How effective is the combination of your main product with ancillary texts?

2 comments:

  1. Rather too generalised. I suggest you separate your digipak and magazine advert in this answer.

    Panel 1 Evaluate link to m.v.
    Panel 2 ditto
    Panel 3 ditto
    Panel 4 ditto

    Identify how your four panels in your digipak amplify the lyrics and that the image in Panel 3 represents the gay relationship which is communicated in the music video.

    Magazine Advert

    This is a stand alone production - note the emphasis on marketing the artist with use of closeup of the artist. This visual style also links to the digipak in which all the panels strongly market the artist.

    Include a section on recurring motifs that link your print production to your music video; for example the seascape which is associated with memory/nostalgia. Identify any other motifs.

    Revise:
    1) You say in your first section that the shots are in various places. What places? Explain.

    2) Britishness capital B! Also identify aspects of Britishness which are in print productions. Cromer has the pier which is a British seaside icon. For Question 4 you can place more focus on this.

    3) You need to explain why the magazines you mention would be appropriate to showcase your advert. What is the demographic of their readership??? Upload images of front pages of these magazines and link them to aspects of the magazine. What about gay publications?

    At present a basic response which is Level 2.

  2. Areas to strengthen:

    1) Re organisation, look at Alex Riley's include image with text otherwise difficulty to navigate.

    2) Panel 1: Identify the explicit link between the consistent close ups of the artist in your music video. Panel 1 you are heavily marketing the artist (Goodwin). Then a clip from your music video.

    3) Panels 2 and 4 : The recurring motif of the focus on the artist and the seascape location are strong links to the music video.

    4) Panel 3: I depart from the close of the artist and use an image of the artist and her lover. This amplifies the lyrics.............whilst also links to the repetitive images of the two lovers in the music video. Include clip from your music video.

    Magazine Advert: To construct a coherent package which strongly markets the artist the magazine advert also uses a strong image of the artist.

    5) Conclusion...My promotional package consistently includes images of the artist, thus offering potential fans a strong brand style whilst also enabling audiences to recognise the artist.
