Evaluation, Question 2;

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


We have tried to make sure that there are themes that run throughout our main product and out ancillary texts. For example, within out ancillary texts everything is on the background of a brick wall  and throughout our music video there is a number of shots which are in front of brick walls. 
On our magazine advert we have used 2 close up images of a girl and boy which are featured throughout our production and act like the main characters. This meant that if people see the poster and then watch the video or vice versa, they will recognise the couple and therefore be able to put the two and two together.

We made sure that we used a range of shots so that it looked like previous videos that Eminem has been a part of. This included close up shots of him rapping to camera and also shots of him walking away from the camera. We made sure that we incorporated these shots and a lot of others to make our production look like a real music video.
Another factor that we made sure we incorporated was using a wide range of locations. We made sure that we had atleast one different location for each verse and each chorus. This helped to set the scene and also helped to make the film flow more as we were able to do a lot of short, sharp shots rather than having shots which were really long and boring.
