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


This is my answer for Evaluation Question 2.  
I answered this question in the form of a podcast.
For this question I discussed: 
-   The effects of Web 2.0 on artists promotion. 
- Why I chose to create my website on www.wix.com
- My decision to create and artist website rather than a music video website
- How it is important to create a theme for my artist
- How I linked the music video, DVD cover and website 
- The fonts that I used 
- My DVD cover on www.pixlr.com
- Why I switched between colour and black and white
- How each product promotes one another

Mrs Banks 6/2

In todays lesson we discussed bloggers and vloggers.

We listed off multiple vloggers/bloggers and we discussed what their role is within the media industry. We discussed consumer produced media and that is what most vloggers/bloggers are.
They show their daily lives and products etc that they feel are worth showing to their audiences or that they are sponsored, and paid, to show their audience.

Casey Neistat is a vlogger who uses his vlog and his audience to promote his business and his future ideas. He has gained an audience and has always used them as feedback when pitching his ideas or his business ideas to them.

New idea

We have filmed almost all of our new idea and have edited up to 2 minutes out of the 3 minute and 16 second song 'Heathens" by twenty one pilots.

We will continue to film the final pieces of our music video this week as we aim to complete it by Friday 10th February.

We aim to complete it by then so that we can begin our evaluation questions and our ancillary texts.
