Comparison of my Ancillary texts with existing products
- 1. Similarities between my ancillary texts and existing products
- 2. Above is the digipack that I have created. I wanted it to link directly to my video which I why I used shots from it. I wanted to incorporate both the memories and the present day into it which is why I have used her on her own and with the male actor. You can see on the right there is two digipacks that I used as inspiration. These link back to their videos and also have a clear theme which is something I also wanted. The CD’s seem slightly more abstract that the other shots which I something that I did on my digipack to make it more interesting. The Rihanna digipack shows a medium close-up of her face for the front cover which is something that I did on my digipack.
- 3. Most of my inspiration for my digipack came from the Taylor Swift advertising poster for her RED album. I like how the album cover was placed at the bottom of the poster so the audience would be able to recognise it straight away when it came out. I also liked the slightly transparent bar that runs along the bottom. This links the text with the album cover and also makes it stand out against the background. I included the name of the artist along with the name of the album above it. I put it in the same font as it is on the CD. This creates continuity. I included the name of her website and also the names of other well known songs that are also on the album. This is an advertising technique as the audience may know the other songs an be more inclined to buy the album. The main image that I used also appears on my digipack. This creates continuity throughout my ancillary texts.
