Evaluation: Question 2 -

How effective is the combination of your main product (video) and ancillary texts (digipak and advertisement)?

Music Videos that influenced me:

With the video we made, we challanged the conventions of a normal indie pop band as we showed no obvious requirments for a band or instraments with is normally seen in most indie pop bands. The music videos that inspired us to do this was:

Owl City: Umbrella Beach -



And, The Artic Monkeys: When the sun goes down -



The Artic Monkeys video is the video that mainly inspired us as it challanges the normal conventions of a music video of the indie pop genre due to the story being about a prostitute which is simular it our music videos story as ours is about a girl who had everything but lost it and became a prostitute and turns to god for help to find her way back to a path.

Images and advertisements that have influenced me - 

Black Eyed Peas: The End -

Basshunter: LOL <(^^,)> -














These album covers influenced me as neither of them show the artists face as a whole which is very effective in catching the audiences attention as they will wont to know who the artist is. I also like this idea as it ties in with the music video which challanges the normal conventions as we don't see the artist/band in the music video.
