Analysis of Previous Students Ancillary Work

What this student does really well in his ancillary work is that he shows some visual links to the music video his group created. But he also makes the digipak and advertisement suit for the codes and conventions of the genre of music which was electro pop. This is the use of the futuristic colours used. Also the artist is selling him self as a DJ as he is wearing headphones. This shows that the student has done a lot of research on the genre of his artist music. He has also added a QR code as this is something which now seen on many adverts as it can be scanned using an app.
I would like to add this in my work and I will also do a lot of research into the soul genre to produce media products which suit the genre.


After looking at this students previous work and Sigur Ros inside panels of their digipak, I have decided that I will present my repeated tracklist with extra information similar to how they have shown the repeated tracklist in there digipaks. This way the tracklist will not look like the tracklist on the outside back panel.

I might add a QR Barcode on my magazine advertisement, as this is something which is regularly starting to be seen on magazine adverts. This is because many people are starting to have smartphones with the app which allows them to scan it (as technology has now developed). This will allow the audience to access more information about the artist e.g. scan will take you to artist websites or YouTube ...
