Interim evaluations of work achieved - Chloe Alldis

Throughout the process of creating our music video we came across many difficulties, however we have finally fined both our main product and our ancillary products. Here are the finished pieces of work.


Main Product.




Our music video took us a fairly long time to make as it consisted of us choosing shots, editing them and adding in transitions. We also spent a lot of our free time completing this until be believed it was perfect. When planning our video we knew we wanted a narrative genre. However we decided that it would be a good idea to also contain the aspects of a performance based video, therefore creating a video that was effective for the viewers.


Ancillary Products.

When we came to create our ancillary products, we knew that they had to link in well with our music video. With this in mind we chose colours, text sizes and fonts, images, and layouts very carefully. For our magazine advertisement we kept it fairly simple yet effective in the sense that the image says it all about our genre of music. The girl is standing in front of a lake by herself, which gives the impression to the listeners that our music is relaxing, yet somewhat a type of music you would chose to listen to by yourself, linking in with our idea of a break up.

The front cover of our digipack four images, two of the whole band 'Reminiscence' and two of the singer herself. Here we have kept the font of the bands name the same as the font in the magazine advertisement, this is because we wanted the to relate and for listeners to see the font and instantly know the band.We used a font that resembles writing as we thought it looked more personal and fitted in with our genre well.

The back cover of our digipack again uses the same font as the magazine advertisement, however this time for the album title. This type of font, we believed looked quite quirky and again personal as it almost looks handwritten. We used swirls in just one corner, this was to show that our target audience is females, and the swirls represented 'love' to link in with the idea that swirls and fireworks are how you feel when you are in love. For the main image we decided we wanted to do something a different, this led to us choosing to have a black and white background with just one dominant colour showing, in this case it was her bright red dress which stood out the most. We believe this is effect as it draws the audiences attention to the image. We also used a red dress as it is associated with 'love' therefore it links in with our genre.

The inside of our digipack, behind the CD, we chose to have a heart made out of hands. This was purely because we believed it would have an impact on the reader as they took the CD out of the case. It could also have a meaning to the listener, making them remember the good times they have shared with loved ones. We have also used a quote so that people can relate more and also remember the band themselves.

For the inside of the digipack we chose to have the whole band together laying in the road. However having the picture itself in a more vibrant colour such as blue, gives the effect of 'sorrow' and perhaps an album that might shed a tear. This also links in again with the target audience. We have used another quote in this part of the digipack as well as writting our 'thank you's' to those who helped make our music video a great success.
