In Retrospect

• I think that my Music video and my ancillary tasks link really well. Throughout I tried to enforce a very natural theme sticking with trees and fields as backgrounds and using green as my main colour.

• This has come through by filming the majority of the music video outside in the forest or in fields.

The music video…I have chosen this slightly low angled shot because I really like the simplicity of it yet it has so much meaning to it. Having him looking up to the side of him amplifies the lyrics because at the time the lyrics say ‘ The wolves all cry’ and having him looking around is connoting that he can hear these wolves.

We had our protagonist sat with the flower twisting it in his hands to show that it is important to him, and important that he gets it to his lover, which is the whole theme of our video. This shot allows the audience to recognise the artist as he is used within my poster and the digipak.

The Poster…

My poster follows a lot of the same conventions as my music video. As the whole video is surrounded by trees and nature I felt that this was important to continue in my ancillary tasks. Therefore by placing him in front of a tree in a field my viewers will associate this with the video.

This location is very similar to that of where we filmed the singer parts of the video and therefore there is a sense of continuity that the audience will pick up on.

The Digipak…My images for my digipak were taken at a variety of different times. The one for the front cover was taken on the last day of filming were we were able to use the field we used for filming the singer to get a sense of continuity between the products. The back cover image is a shot from the actual video. The image for inside was taken a while after finishing the filming. I have subverted the convention of the inside images. Normally there is two different images for the inside of digipak, however I have used one and flipped it so that it is symmetrical. I did this because it gave a creepier feel to it and make it seem more mysterious.

Again like my poster I have stuck for the green and natural theme which links with the rest of the products.

I have adhered to a lot of the conventions of a cd digipak. I have the listings on the back, I have a barcode, web address and record label on the back of the digipak.
