In what ways does your media product use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


our media product, music video, uses the conventions of that of a pop/rock group, we developed our conventions from the existing music group the verve, as in, in this video the main singer is following the camera, we tried to copy this technique in our music video. Also out genre fits in well with what we thought our music video was.

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


our magazine advert and our digi-pack work together as we made them both  follow the same forms and conventions, for example our backgrounds are the same we thought we would do this as they are the both promoting the same thing, therefore the public will know immediately what they are promoting giving they have read something about this beforehand, also both of our ancillary products give our artist an image of being quite punk and laid back as for the red and black. The products catch the target audience peoples eyes. Our music video links in well with our front and back cover on the digi pack as they are both shot and filmed in the same location

What have you learnt from your feedback?


We learnt from our initial pitch that it may not be a giant idea to put the band playing the song in. therefore we re-thought our idea and then decided to follow up on our teachers thoughts and developed our music video to that of the verve, we came back with a rough cut and gained a lot of constructive feedback such as the lip sync as many people thought some o the syncing was not up to standard and we took that feedback and re-shot a couple of our old shots also others commented that our pace of the song was slow and that we needed more shots in there and less time shooting our shot and then just added more shots also shooting a couple more. people thought our product was, slightly homosexual as you first see two guys at the beginning and understandably we were then told to put a girl in the music video , early, to prohibit this thought, but as we had time constraints we were unable to shoot a girl there fore we had a picture of one which turned out to quite effective
