Q2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Q2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

My main product is a music video, we did this to the song called sunrise and the genre of the song is acoustic rock. But the song is about teens that are bullied or suffer with depression, a lot of the lyrics where inspired by “the bully project” which is a project to get all bully victims together and get them say enough is enough and they can talk about there problems and what they have been through together. So throughout our video we have an actor on his own showing that he’s lonely and depressed, we show you him writing in his diary and near to the end he hangs himself, but he then wakes up and it was all just a dream. We also have Danny playing the guitar in the same wooded area, and Jason is the one singing the lyrics about our actor, we wanted to give the feel that Jason is singing to the actor and even though he feels alone now it will get better he doesn't give up on himself, he's just got to keep going.

Theme, the majority of the shots are in a wooded area or a park bench of him on his own, also when Jason is singing we have him in front of the Liverpool skyline the way the lighting is it almost looks green screened.  The is a clear link between our music video and the digipak as the singer features in both. The main product and ancillary tasks represents our artist’s image, as they are both down to earth, this video shows real life problems such as depression that leads people to suicide.

Our audience is more of teenage to early 20’s crowd, and the purpose of this song is for people to be able to relate what’s going on, how just being lonely can cause depression and if it goes untreated the proper way it can lead to other things. So the purpose of it is trying to get people to relate and reach out for help. Therefore we have tried to create a music video that people can relate to by showing them what everyday problems such as just being lonely or getting bullied could lead to, or what they're already thinking of doing. My ancillary tasks are plain but i have followed my style models, I went for a similar style to the Eureka Machines Remain In Hope album. this has the four of them on the front, they have prints of a painting of the four them sent in from a fan on the front. Whereas I've only used Jason on the front of mine and I've edited a photo of him and used a art effect on him to give me this style.
