Evaluation Q2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Shown below is my response to evaluation question 2. Will and I conducted an interview-style vlog in order to answer the question; this was filmed using iMovie and then following this I added various video cuts from our music video and some still images showing my Digipak and Website design. 

Besides my initial response, I would like to further add that the theme of friendship is recurred throughout my ancillary products and main product. The band is shown walking onto the stage in the music video and  consequently they appear to be in a close-knit group, thus signifying the representation of friendsip which you would expect to see in an indie band. It is a theme that is certainly shown in other bands such as Imagine Dragons, AWOLNATION, Coldplay and Twin Atlantic as well as Walk off the Earth themselves. I have recurred this theme in my Digipak through the use of bright colours symbolising harmony and the inclusion of various photos of the band on the front cover and inside; these photos present the group again in a personal and close-knit group. Finally, the website, which similarly includes bright colours, also uses photos to present the group in this style, as well as including a section titled 'News' and 'About' which lets people explore the life of the band and understand how close-knit they are.
