Evaluation Question 2

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

We wanted our Video, Diji Pack and Advert to all link smoothly together to show them as a package and all go along the theme of a Asylum. We quickly decided that the front of the Diji Pack and the Advert should be in same image. We decided this because this really connected them together. Also since we chose such a iconic image that is clearly portrayed in all three tasks it shows them as a package. We chose the 'I'm A Freak' cut into the back of the jacket because it really fits with the convention of gore within the genre. It also shows the same of the song and album cover making it perfect for a diji pack cover.
The image of the lead singer holding the lens of the camera is a identical copy of a shot from our music video, we chose to do this because we felt the image was perfect for showing him as the main character on the inside of the diji pack since the 'Band' image doesn't show his face.
In the image of the band this has a direct link to the video because of the iconic mask in which the bassist is wearing in his backing vocals as well as this photo.
The font which is used is the bottom right corner of the front cover is also the same font as on the advert. We chose to do this to keep it constant through all of our tasks. The second font we used in the track list is the same as the reviews and facebook and twitter. We chose a different font for these because we needed a more ledge-able font for a busier background.
The filter over the track-list picture is lot similar as the 'old world' effect we used in our video. We chose to use the same filter to have a good link between the two. We chose of use a different effect on the two pictures of the broken down building because we needed some colour to break up our diji pack and to make it more busy. We used a different location because we really liked the photos and was unable to film our video there so we felt like including them.
