Q2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
I believe that the combination of all the products that I have created is very good. I have done a separate photo shoot for the creation of the CD cover and poster rather than take screen shots from the music video. I used the same location as the video shoot to take photos so that the audience would immediately know that they are connected. I have also used the same props and actor as in the video. The content is also similar as he has pills in his hands on the CD and the poster. I have edited them in the same way in Photoshop to get the same bluish, de-saturated tones. I think that the symbolism of the pills as something that takes pain away in evident. For the poster, I had the idea of taking photos of him dropping the pills so that i can capture them in mid air. I then photo shopped these images together to make it seem as if there are a lot of pills. I then rotated the photo so that it will print in A4 and that it give an illusion of the pills falling the other way. I used the same font for the album cover text and the text on the poster. Overall, I am really happy with the production of my ancillary tasks as they look good with the music video and they're in the same style. However, to improve, I would maybe change some of the imagery and location so that it doesn't get boring for the audience. I would also do some art work of my own for the CD cover as Radiohead include a lot of art work which makes their fans recognise their albums.
