Evaluation Question 2 (How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?)

I believe the effectiveness of my group’s main product and my individual ancillary products is very strong, since the video showcases typical pop conventions that is very common, so the audience will feel comfortable watching it, especially since there is a narrative and performance, so people who like narrative and people who like performance can enjoy watching this product, making it cater to everyone. My individual products use a low-key lighting and this is to signify emptiness or fear. Since the audience doesn't know what happens to the actor after it ends, the audience will begin to question what has happened, such as ‘what did he do next?’ and ‘did he go back with her?’. These questions make the audience a bit scared of the unknown, so the website has dark colours, typically white on black to show contrast, as well as fear. Typical pop websites have tour dates, and news, so I included them in my individual website to make it look authentic. My digipak shows James, the heartbroken boy, walking away from camera, and looking at the camera, half his face in shadows, showing that he is becoming empty, and losing himself. The serif text for the track-list and the main head easily show that this is a pop CD cover, due to the colours, text, composition and lighting.
