Evaluation question 2

2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?


There are similarities that cross between the main task (music video) and the two ancillary tasks (Website and Digi-pac). The similarities between the three tasks is the 'Nerd' theme, to start off with the main character in the video is dressed up as a geeky character, this is the common theme which runs through the video, digipak and webpage. In the website and Digi-pac the 'Nerd' theme is represented through the red geeky glasses The geek is necessary for the song and video, as it represents the outcast and keeping away from society and not getting involved with anyone until he sees his first love, the 'Nerd' is such a strong image, but we decided not to use the whole geek image for the ancillary tasks, but just a certain area of a 'Geek' so the glasses were essential to use for the ancillary tasks.

When it came to the writing of the the website and Digi-pac we wanted to use the same type of writing which was significant, this was done by having it in red, this matched the red 'Geek' glasses and the writing within them as well  as the  text we used for the webpage and Digi-pac this makes it unique, as shown in the two ancillary tasks, this is just another similarity. 

 The only major difference across the three media in which we created  was colour of the geek style glasses in the Digi-pac and website compared the glasses used in the music video. 

As shown throughout the three tasks, similarities which include the geek as a whole, the red glasses and red writing within the glasses on the two ancillary tasks, by using the same logo (red glasses) it makes them look professional and creates an image for the song of Maisie Mae. The logo is shown by of the character in glasses, even though the main character in the video has black glasses and the glasses are red in the two ancillary tasks, even though the glasses are different they still give the 'Nerd' image.
