New media technologies was used during research as i used google, yahoo and various other search engines to collect images for the album covers and CD booklet, these were copyright symbols bar codes and various other requirements for the CD booklet
The Planning stage Photoshop was used to find the right color scheme for the ancillary tasks which was 006600 i think which was the purple used through out the tasks this would be useful in the printing stage as colors would not be different and match.
New media technology helped mostly in the creating and editing of the music video the programme used was Adobe Premier Pro which is the most advanced piece of programme which allows to cut pieces of footage, place them in order in correct times on the time line all accompanied buy a few special effect.
The creation of my CD booklet i used Adobe In design which was difficult as i never used it before but after watching tutorials i became a quick learner and finished the CD booklet this programmes allowed be to work on each page together so i could see how the booklet would look like in and actual version in booklet form which was fantastic.

Evaluation: What have you learned for audience feedback?
The audience feedback helped the video immensely, i have learnt that our music video was most enjoyed and the smart camera shot/angles was the videos strongest points but it was noticed that are locations was not widely used and that it would be wise to film in at least 3 locations and we had only filmed in two this would show diversity and allow the audience not to loose interest we quickly solved the problem by filming in a urban area also relating to the genre of are music video.
Feedback also helped my hardest Ancillary Task it was said that my color selection was clever and the lay out was very well constructed as i positioned each title differently and some in a very manipulative way so each text was creative also said my was simple but effective which is exactly what i wanted as i did not wanted to complicate or congest the CD booklet with images but on the other hand a negative was that i did not add even one single image which i regret as it would have been nice as the booklet could not be seen as being plain and boring which is not what i was hoping for.
In terms of my album cover feedback was that is was creative but lacked focus as it seemed as if had rushed it at the last minuted i believe its because i edit and added to many effects to the album so it looked rushed which was not encouraging.

How effective is the combination of your main and ancillary texts
I tried to show some similarities between Ancillary Tasks produced doing this a house style can be identified also a connection can be made for example the booklet i created has followed the color scheme set by the groups the colors set were purple,yellow and black these colors had to be identified in each task to show a connection so the audience can associate the colors which are media products
Evaluation for Ancillary: In what ways does your Media Products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions or real media products
In the Beginning of the Ancillary task stage i was given the CD booklet task and CD back and front cover i knew this task would be more challenging then the CD front/back cover as the balance of colors was key and the size of text had to be right.
I started this task by researching into existing CD booklets this however was difficult as images were hard to come across only description were found explaining what the Booklet needed to contain i did then ask my fellow peer if they had example i could borrow, i found out that each page of the booklet was bright and the text could be easily read and each title of the song was bold with the colors matching the contrasting or standing out from the background color.
I believe my CD booklet does follow the convention needed to challenge a real media product simply because i followed my research by adding bright colors not contrasting with the background but standing out and the text can be easily read as the text was black and the background was white by following my research i was able to achieve this, i
In terms of my CD front cover i did little but enough research to understand a good album cover needs a great large image and large text in order to attract an audience which is exactly which i did to achieve this i had to select an image which can be manipulated to get the image i wanted and the right text had to be selected to be come together with the image also the genre of music chosen
Music Video
when creating our music video the group wanted to follow the conventions of the genre which was "RnB" so in the video you would not see a shot of a band as to audience will would be a convention of a rock music video, so to achieve this we watched "RnB" music videos to see what was needed.
In this analysis we noticed that a clear story was needed to express the song also locations was important so we focused on these two conventions with interesting shots, camera angles and incredible editing we produce our music video. The music video can be compared closely to Eminem ft lil wayne - no love which story was our inspiration the story and camera angles was the main focus of our music video and i think this can be showed clearly in the music video.
