Evaluation Question Three
Overall the feedback of my products is positive. My audience seem to have a good understanding of my narrative and the genre of music that my products are aimed at. They identified the house style in terms of colour scheme which is good and shows that I have succeeded in creating a recognisable house style.
My audience did mention that the drums lacked reality and weren't very convincing so this is something I would address if I did the project again. I will also add a few more entropic features to my music video if I did it again because I feel that the video is quite redundant and some entropic features would make an even larger impact and make the video harder to forget. This would then mean that the song makes more of an impact and sell more songs.
Overall, I am pleased with my products. I am proud of the work we did for the music video and I think the end result is successful in terms of looking like a "real" media product. I also think the print products continue the theme from the music video so there is consistency throughout my products in terms of colour and themes.

Evaluation Question Two
How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
House Style:
- With my print products, I kept a house style through using the same font type and a similar colour theme throughout.
- I also used a similar style of photographs which were black and white with edited brightness and contrast to create different images of similar style.
Colour:
- I used mostly Black (#000000) and White (#ffffff) which is a typical choice for products in my genre.
- I also think it fits best with my music video and keeps colours and theme consistent throughout my products.
Font:
- I used the font called "Feast of Flesh" for my print products as the style of this font will appeal to the target audience of the genre Pop-Rock.
- I asked for audience feedback on different fonts that I had chosen may all be appropriate for the age group and genre. There were even votes between Feast of Flesh and another font but I decided that this font would fit my products and the genre better.
Lighting:
- The lighting in our music video was done using a spotlight and was generally quite dark around the artists which we thought would fit our genre of Pop-Rock.
- Ideas were also taken for the lighting from videos such as The Script's, Hall of Fame.
- I then took a similar approach into my print products as I kept the idea of using dark colours and made my images black and white with just some colour in the text.

My Final Pieces
These are my final pieces of my coursework. Here is my final music video, my print advert and my final Digipack.

Audience Feedback for Print Advert
From my audience feedback, I have received development ideas such as adding the band's website, a precise release date and more ways of purchasing the album.

My CD Design
I decided to keep the design for the CD quite plain as all of the other pains for the Digipack have photographs and I think just text works well.

Digipack Development
A main opinion from my audience feedback was that my digipack lacked continuity as the inside didn't match the colour style of my outside covers so I thought I would edit the photographs to make them more similar. Another point made was that I shouldn't have the main singer in the cover under the disk as he will be hidden by the disk and this doesn't happen often in CD albums so I decided to replace this photograph with photographs of instruments that had been used in the performance of the video to keep consistent continuity. I like the photograph of the main singer so I decided to use that in the left inside pane and removed the one of the drummer with the singer. This also keeps balance as that photograph only contained two of the band members. I edited the photographs of the instruments so they were in-keeping with the house style.
Audience Feedback on my Digipack
From this feedback, I will address the issue of continuity as two of the images are not consistent with the colour scheme and the theme of the rest of the digipack. I will now work on the composition of the Digipack and edit the images that need to be changed.
