1. Evaluation Question 2 - How
effective is the combination of
your main product and ancillary
texts?
2. • During our media A level course, we had
to make a music video, a webpage and a
dig-pack. I wanted to have a theme of
London throughout all three of these,
therefore, I used images from the music
video and images that I had taken during
filming for my webpage and my final digi-
pack idea. This meant that I had a theme
going throughout everything I have
worked on this year and it meant that they
all linked with each other. Also, throughout
all three, I used dark images, however,
they all had bright lights and they stood
3. • The genre of the song that we chose to
make a music video to is indie hip-hop.
We were able to reflect this genre in the
music video and we ensured that our
ancillary tasks complemented it as we
used images from the video. Even though
our music video was mainly performance
based, it was also slightly narrative based
as the song is about a traveller in London
and we used that theme throughout the
music video, webpage and digi-pack,
therefore, it complemented the genre.
4. • The concept of synergy did not provide
any problems when creating our music
video and the ancillary tasks as we had
the same theme running throughout all
three which meant they could all link
together without there being any
problems.
5. • I made three designs for my digi-pack so that I
had more than one option for my final digi-pack.
Having three ideas meant that I could use a
range of the images I had taken and then I could
put them on to the digi-pack and decide which
one I preferred for my final idea. By doing this, it
meant that I had more of a choice for my digi-
pack and it meant that I could get use out of all
my images and then I could see which ones
looked the best as a digi-pack. For the two ideas
that I made that were not my final idea, I had
only used four images, whereas in the final idea,
I used five.

9. This is my final
webpage design
Throughout the website I had a dark background with
white writing which is similar to the digi-pack so that it
stood out. I also used images from the music video which
links to the digi-pack as well as the video as they were the
dark images with lights in London which is the theme
which I used throughout everything. I also included links
to different pages on the website and I added latest news
and upcoming tour dates for fans to see.
I wrote his name quite plain in white writing so that it stood
out and was the first thing that people saw. I also added
links to his YouTube, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter
pages so that fans could follow him and I also added a link
to buy the song ‘The City’ which is the song we used for
our video.
I added his Twitter account at the bottom of the
website and added a few of his fans tweets as
fans like to see that they’ve been noticed by an
artist. I also did this in white writing to continue
the theme throughout the webpage.
