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

Main Product

Typography

• The most important thing for me to make sure that I did throughout my Ancillarys and main product was to keep important and identifiable aspects the same. The first and one of the most important areas I kept the same was the typography. Throughout both of my ancillary’s I used two types of font, the first font is a font commonly used on Microsoft Word, ‘Batang’ and the second font is a downloaded font from (www.dafont.com) called ‘Punksnotdead’ both of these fonts were used specifically for certain purposes.

• I used the font ‘punksnotdead’ for the title ‘Rockstar’ in both Ancillary 1 and Ancillary 2, I used this font in particular due to it appearing to look like a graffiti font and I wanted it to connote a rebellious image to the audience like ‘rockstars’ usually do.

• Considering ‘punksnotdead’ was such a prominent font, I wanted a more subtle font that would stand out in it’s own way to upload the band name ‘Impact’ this was used as it’s neat and bold to the audience. It stands out without taking over the image.

• I used the ‘Batang’ font for the opening slide of the music video where the title is shown this creates synergy between all of the products.

Images

• Another way to create synergy throughout all of my media products was by making sure that all of the products used the same images, characters and ideologies. I created the background to my Ancillary 2 (Poster) and the Background to the Ancillary 1 (CD Cover) by using images from the final music video.

• I did this to show that everybody who starred in the music video was a ‘rockstar’ and ‘famous’ in their own rights, this helped exaggerate my main concept of saying that anyone watching this video can be an audience and that you don’t have to be famous to be in a music video.
