Evaluation - question 2

2) How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?
When I first had to create my ancillary tasks, I wanted to ensure that I had a consistent theme running throughout them so that my target audience of teenage girls would have appeal to them and that they related to my music video well. For the inspiration of my Digi-pack and magazine advert I looked at Pixie Lott who was the artist of my chosen song for my music video, "like a broken arrow". We wanted to portray Pixie Lott as a young teenage girl who is trying to connect with her audience. So, I decided to use locations that teenagers would be familiar with such as parks, benches and their front living room.
For my Digi-pack I used the black and white theme that I have running throughout music video which gave it the professional look that I wanted to and I think it fitted with the lyrics/theme to the song (relationship break ups). For the front cover I took a print screen from my actual music video where Elle is resting against a white wall. I used this image as the audience will be familiar with it from the music video and it will clearly show that she is the main female protagonist being re
presented in the video. I adjusted the contrast a little more so that she stood out against the all and adding in a "swirly" font which i downloaded from a fonts website as I think this fitted with my pop genre and showed the young and girly character, inspired by Pixie Lott herself.
For the inside covers I chose a "kiss" shape to represent the love within the music video and on the other I used a black silouette of the cupid with an arrow as I also had this in my music video as an overlapping shot of when Elle and Alex in the video are arguing, the arrow breaks over them.
Here is my second ancillary task which is my magazine advert. Again, I have kept the consistency running throughout by continuing the black and white theme and again using a "swirly/girly" font to keep the initial idea of portraying Pixie Lott as much as possible. Again I have used screen shots from my music video so the audience can relate to the advertisement as they recognise them fro the video itself. The purpose of this was to promote the album itself. I used quotes from famous music magazines to make it look more professional and believable.
Overall, I think the overall effectiveness of the combination of my ancillary tasks is good because I have used the same locations, fonts and images throughout that my target audience of teenage girls will be able to relate to and along with the storyline and narrative of the music video.

Meeting log 4


This meeting between the group was all about the possible locations in which we can film at for our music video. We wanted to think about practical locations in which we would have permission to film at, we could access easily and more then once.

Considering we will be filming the material for our film in the months of November December and January, we have to think of the weather conditions that will more likely to occur and that it will be dark earlier, so all of this will have to come into consideration when choosing our locations. Here is a list and description of the suitable locations we came up with as a group where we think we would be able to film:

1) Alexandra Palace - With it;s picturesque views of London in the distance and great landscape, this would be a perfect for filming the couple together. We could film at this location at both day and night and still get some great footage for our video. Also, with the horizon view we could film the sun coming up, or setting in to night and then speed it up when it comes to editing.



2) South end-on-sea - Candyfloss, popcorn, fish and chips and funfairs and all things which you accociated with a good visit to the seaside. However, I think that going to the funfair and doing these things is an ideal day/night out for a couple and so we decided to chose this as our second locations. Walking hand in hand on a beach or even having fun on a funfair ride brings the "fun" side to our music video and shows what a good time couples have when in a relationship. We also thought that we could even write something in the sand or from their footprints and speed it up as we thought this would look good and fit with our initial ideas of it being fun, quirky and flirty


3) Enfield Playing Fields - One of the biggest open spaces in Enfield it would be almost weird to not want to film here with the trees, grass etc. However, there is one thing as a group we particularly ike and that it the main entrance walkway. A wide path surrounded by trees and fallen leaves on the ground from the seasons of Autumn/Winter will really make a nice setting for a romantic shot of the couple on a "stroll" together.
