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

When I began to do some research into my ancillary tasks, I discovered that they would all need to link to each other and my video. This was so that the audience can recognise the band and the particular theme running throughout the ancillaries. I wanted to make sure that all of my ancillaries as well as my main music video were all consistent and looked similar. If they are consistent then the fans would always know what to look out fir and may even help us to gather more fans. I think that, looking over my digipak, magazine advert and website I achieved this goal I was aiming for. 



I think that I have worked hard to link each ancillary task to my main product, making sure they look consistent and relate to to each other. Both the digipak and magazine advert both have similar images on and the same font and text. As I have used two images that are alike the audience will now recognise that particular band, their video and the media products that go with them. For my website I have also chosen a picture for the background that relates to the other two ancillary tasks as well. Also on my digipak and magazine advert and also in my music video, I have used the same font throughout my media products. This again is for consistency and so that they are all similar and recognisable. All of my ancillary tasks have recognisable images on them that the audience will remember from watching my video. They will be able to see the link between my main product and my three ancillary tasks, hopefully leading to more sales and fans, which is what I was aiming for. 




Each different ancillary that i have created from scratch, allows the audience to see that each particular media product and my video all link together to help develop the band further. I have carefully considered the audience when creating my ancillaries, this was to make sure that each product, even my music video linked together and also advertised the band in a positive way, helping them to sell more songs and the album.




Overall I think that the combination of all of my ancillary tasks and the actual music video itself is very effective as they all relate to each other. This makes them more noticeable to the audience and more so the fans, as they will be able to link each product to the main video, knowing that it is all by the same band. As more and more people notice this, more people will see and recognise the magazine advert, website and album cover, and will want to watch the video, leading to them buying the album.
