Ancillary tasks analyse
- 2. How do your ancillary tasks link with the main production? Throughout my production, I used various aspects to link my main video to the ancillary tasks. First of which was the use of a red and black guitar. As well as using these two items within my music video, I also included them in my CD digipak and my advert. This is commonly done in the music industry as a means of allowing the audience to become aware of 3 Doors Down’s brand. Also, I used the 3 Doors Down logo on both the CD front cover and the magazine advert. This is done to help the audience easily link the two. Because a magazine advert may only be viewed for an extremely short period of time, this product had to be clear and crisp, while using visual aspects to help link it with the album cover. This helps the audience to successfully pick out the album when situated on a shelf among hundreds of others. Consequently by using the official 3 Doors Down logo, commonly found on their own album covers, I conformed to this convention by allowing my products to become easily recognisable and linked between one another. Two additional ways I used to conduct the previous aspect, was by using the same text for the song title on both the digipak and the advert. Also, the picture of the drums I added on the back cover of the digipak, was also used for the magazine advert
