Our ancillary task and our main product are quite important to one and other in terms of finishing our product. For our ancillary tasks we did the CD cover and poster, the pictures inside the CD cover and the poster promoting our music video.
We took many different shots for the ancillary task as we wanted to make the pictures look effective using the outfits that we were wearing and the back grounds that were used. We decided to take a few different pictures in different locations to see what worked as we wanted to tie it in by making sure that it look conventional and our images all looked the same but we each had a personality that shone through.
We wanted to wear outfits that symbolized us as a girl band but gave us our own identities just as is done in the CD cover for the single used for the real music video. We did this by using our own different coloured tops and the same skirts; this is done similarly in the real CD cover. We all decided that we would sit on a chair that was taken in the same place, but we all wanted to have different sorts of positions. We did this by each of the girls having a different posture and have our legs positioned in a different way. To see the anciliary Click here
Our poster that promotes our song conveys the message of work and for our ancillary task we incorporated the 'work' ethic and turned it into us dressed up as different types of work people. We all stood in different ways that would show us in authority, this would therefore convey the message of ‘girl power’ that is found in other girl band products in the industry. This fitted in to the genre and the branding by having this type of pose. This is done in many of the saturdays own brands as we can see here
. By looking at the stances of these girls and the stances of ours, they are quite similar and by doing this people will be able to recongnise them as the saturdays which what we hope to do by doing a simular technique with our branding.Our main product was effective also as it used really similar locations and similar shots and ways of editing just as girl bands do in their videos. We have also included some special effects that improves the editing and makes it look more professional. We did this by using effects such as zoom and pan, this gives the audience a chance to look at the performance in different ways and get a good look at the dance moves we are performing. Narrative used in our product also is found in our genre of music and it also helps to give the audience something to play along with and pay attention to in addition to the dance and performance. Again the concept of branding came in to make it seem effective, by doing so we made sure that each memmer was recognised by having slightly differant outfits rather than us all looking the same.
Each of us all had a sepreante part to sing which made us all look in sync with one and other but have differant parts of the voice in which we can be recognised by. This helps make the music video be more effective again because it introduces that concept of branding which makes us look more professional and polished.
Our main and our ancillary tasks are also effective together because with them complimenting each other it makes it look professional and looks like a real music CD cover and video. I think our group did a good job on balancing out the work to do on all of the pieces and together they look like a good finished product.
