Evaluation Question 2

How effective is the combination of the main product and ancillary tasks?


The combination of our ancillary products and our music video is very effective as we have used the same scene throughout the entire thing. We decided we wanted to have the main character sitting in front of the fire to be the signature scene of the music video and we wanted to incorporate that into our magazine advert and digipak. This is because it’s a very memorable moment in the music video for the character and it represents what the whole song is about and the theme. It also links to the title of our song and we wanted to emphasise the title with the imagery as much as possible so having the picture of the main character sitting in front of the fire as our main image works well as a combination with the song and its title. 

The music video links well with the digipak because the digipak takes you through the morning to the night which is the story of the video because in the early hours the main character is still having a hard time overcoming his ex-relationship and as the time goes by it gets darker and darker much like the relationship and his feelings towards her. He begins to feel less for her and this is shown in the digipak along with the music video. All the products link well together through the use of reappearing imagery linking to the title in order to engage with the audience and to get them to remember by showing them the same thing and therefore, we have made the link in a relevant way.

Music Video History

A music video is a short film accompanied with music and imagery. They are mainly produced for promotional or artistic purposes. In modern day they are usually made to promote the album of the artist or to promote the song further. There are many cases in which a music video has been a way to promote merchandise or even a movie. Music videos have been around for a very long time but became a lot more popular when the TV channel 'MTV' aired on TV the music video titled 'video killed the radio star'. Although this was the time music videos began to become very popular, this was not the first music video. The video considered the first 'music video' was called 'St Louis Blues' by Bessie Smith. The music video involved Bessie Smith drinking and singing to the song which is considered a music video. It was released in 1914, way before music videos were even a thing. All music videos either use: Animation  Live Action Filming  Documentaries  No...

Katy Perry - Chained To The Rhythm

Image
Narrative- A lot of problems with the world are being shown in this music video, the theme is trying to point out that there is problems with the world and that they are not necessarily being acknowledged properly so this music video is trying to spread awareness. An example would be in the music video you can see a roller coaster ride meant to represent the housing market and you can see it dropping meaning that the market is failing as a whole and that it is an issue for a lot of people.  Another thing that is being shown here is that it's trying to spread awareness for self expression and being yourself and this is shown through all the people walking in single file at the same speed making the same hand movements at the exact same time, this is showing that they are all the same whereas Katy Perry is doing her thing and walking around not following the crowd which means she is being herself which then goes to show she is the role model in this situation and that can encourage ...

Audience Questionnaire Analysis

Music video questionnaire analysis Here are some of the results that I got from the questionnaire I carried out: All the people asked were males  All the people asked were under the age of 18  They all answered yes to 'do you like watching music videos'  There was a fairly diverse amount of answers for what the persons favourite genre is  A lot of people said they prefer narrative and performance based videos equally rather than preferring one of them Everyone who answered said they like special effects and animation  From this research i can gather that i need to include both narrative and performance based factors in my music videos because that is what is more preferred than including one of them. It also shows that i have a range of skills and can include different types of music videos rather than using one.
