Ancillary Products

These are the ancillary products for our media production, we had a number of difficulties when making them. Firstly, we had to retake the pictures for the products because they were deleted off the camera which we used, this was a problem because we had to keep everything the same such as the main protagonists costume. Due to this problem we also had to change front cover for the digipack and the poster, in the original picture the protagonist had his hands up to the sky but because of a recent weather change the synergy would be different between the ancillary products and the video. Secondly, we had to change the inside cover for the digipack because when taking the pictures we couldn't get the angle we wanted, we decided to have a close up shot of the two protagonists in the music video standing face to face to link the video to the digipack.
To make these products we used a combination of computer programs, we used Microsoft word, coral draw and paint. We couldn't  do everything we wanted on one program so we used a number of different ones to get what we wanted. We looked at the research we did on posters and digipacks and decided to add some conventions to our products that are normally used, such as the song titles down the back of the digipack, a barcode, website, star rating, company logos etc.



This is the original design for the digipack, you can see here the changes that we made to the final design.
