Evaluation task 2. How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Comparing Digipak, Poster and Video:
Above are some screengrabs from my digipak, poster and video which I am going to compare. The first thing which all three of them have in common is the fact that the girl in all three screengrabs is the same girl, which is why i have linked them all up together with the arrows. Another similarity between all of them is that all of the pictures have been taken outside in a field or in the woods, so there is always a surrounding of trees.
The link between the digipak and poster is that the digipak is seen small on the poster in the bottom right. I have also put an arrow between the poster and the screengrab of the video because in the poster she is seen walking away and in the video she is on a piano with a reflection of her and a boy. The lyric which comes up when she is on the piano is "money can't buy you back the love that you had then". The reason why I have linked them together is because when she was sitting with the boy that was the past, so the poster shows her walking away suggesting that she has walked away from the past.
The writing on the digipak and poster pictures are the same as well. The reason why I made the writing the same for the ancillary task is to make it all link together so that if people were to buy the CD and poster, they would notice the link.

Comparing Digipak and Video:
Above I have put screengrabs of the digipak CD and a screengrab of the video . The link between these two screengrabs is that she is standing on top of a rock looking proud and happy and in the party scene picture she and everyone else are happy and having fun. I would also say that where she is standing on the rock she is maybe reflecting on the good times she has had.
