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

How effective is the combinantion of your main product and ancillary tasks.
Here are both of my ancillary tass for Florence and the machine- Kiss with a fist.



Here is my advert, i wanted to keep it simple but make it stand out to reading through the magazine. The picture i chose for my advert achieved this because it was of the artist in an unusal pose and took up most of the advert, so seeing it at a glance may draw people to look more closely into the advert. I chose a sepia effect instead of a bright colour to keep in with the theme throughout our video being vintage, i feel it continued the effect. Also keeping with the vintage theme i chose the scroll text. And i only included the most important parrts of information so that it was easy to read and the information you wanted you found out straight away this being the title, song and release date. Also the reccomendation of a popular magazine, which might draw in people that wouldn't usually listen but may be influenced because of the magazine the read to see if it was as good as they reccomended.



Here is my album cover, continuing the simple and vintage look. I used the image of the artist again so it was clear that it was her single and then duplicated it three times in different shades adding to the vintage effect of the video and advert. Also i used the same font as the advert to link the together.

However the others in my group had a different approach and didn't really link all of our work together even though we used the same font and images, they were slightly too different.

We researched into marketing the product, we decided that it was best to create a single instead of an album due to the issues of creating a name for the album. We decided that we would publish our advert in NME magazine as the magazine focused on the same genre as our music video. This would have the largest audience because of the magazine being open to variety of genres so it allowed us to gain a wider audience than expected. we also decided that we would put it up for download as there are more people using online stores like itunes to purchase there music. So it might have more success being advertised online aswell.

We decided on the price being at £2.99 as it was only a single. If somebody was downloading the song online it would cost between the regions of 99p to £1.75 depending on the popularity. Also the song and video can be purchased seperatly online and not just the song which would be the case in shops. However more profit would come from sales in stores the online download would be preferable to consumers. The benefits of advertising online are
• Targeted & measurable
