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

This is the video with a voiceover by Me and Mike. it explains what we did and why we did certain things.

This is the script:

The genre of the song we chose to use is Indie rock. the way we presented the band was to put them in a rehearsal room to give a more authentic feel to the song.

There are no big budget set pieces in our video. We put them in a rehearsal room, and they played through the song several times while we filmed them.

We thought if they were all in the same room, it would give the song a more real feel as if you were in the rehearsal with them. We put some effects over it to make it confusing. This gives the video an edge, so you aren’t really sure what’s going on. this makes the video more exiting to watch.

We both created our own digipaks. My cover is hand-drawn which gives it a raw feel to it. It is coloured in. I decided to make it like this as not many indie album covers feature the actual band on it.

My digipak is somewhat different, the middle pages of the band is a picture of the band, with a neon outline. The individual inside panes show the separate band members in publicity style photo shots. The front and back were both created using creative commons images put together in photoshop.
