1. How effective is the
combination of your
main product and
ancillary task?

2. The combination of my main product and my ancillary task worked
in tie with one another as the main product both had black and
white footage and colour, which was reflected in the front cover of
the album and also the inlays.
The psychological breakdown of the main performer in the video
was very much evident and i managed to replicate that in the
ancillary task, by choosing a photo of the performer that depicted a
torn soul. This was then increased with the edited crack walls in the
background of the album cover. As the background of the Album
cover way grey, the washed out/faded effect behind the main
performer that was duplicated 4 times was gain depict a torn soul
proved very successful.
When filming the video, i purposely took shots of the sun glaring
into the camera lens to crate light spots that gave the footage a
realistic and authentic look. This was then imitated in some of the
inlays of the Album covers to create continuity within all media
products.

4. The layout of the ancillary task proved to be very successful as the
center positioning of the artist directed the focus onto to her. This helps
to develop artist identification as this album is generally about Quinn
Harper and her personal tribulations. The layout doesn't take any
attention away from the artist however it focuses the attention onto
her. It insinuates that her songs and the journey that the audience may
take away from the album will be about her. The visually stunning
layout of the main artist is duplicated four times which helps to build a
specific representation for Quinn Harper. It matches the turmoil and
distressed artist that performs in 'The Gospel'. There are many
meanings that can be extracted from the music video and this can be
spotted within the ancillary task/ Album covers. We were asked to
develop an album cover that would appeal to the eye of the
customer/target audience. This is what the album cover achieved as
well as the album back and inlays. The quality of the music video and
ancillary task definitely work effectively as a combination as they both
fulfill the requirements and more of a rock/ indie narrative based music
video.
The locations of the video matched perfectly with theme intentions of
the music video.
