Ancillary task plans

As we are making a music video for our coursework our chosen ancillary products are a digipak and poster.

For our ancillary products we have decided to use a continuous theme that also has ties to our main coursework piece. For this we have decided to use a theme of Vikings throughout our ancillary product. This will involve using some pictures of the re-enactment cast taken from the filming days

 

Digipak -

We are going to design and create a four-panel digipak that will contain a jewel case to house a CD, as well as potentially making a small booklet to accompany the CD. This booklet would feature the lyrics to the song, as well as pictures of the cast within the music video.  

• In the rough design of our digipak we have thought about using a group picture of our Vikings on the front cover, facing forward and mostly all looking at the camera; as well as featuring the title of the band and the name of the song on the cover.
• On the back we thought it would be best to have a picture that wasn't too busy, and so we thought about using a picture of a single Viking running through the scenery.
• An idea that we had for one of the inside panels of the digipak was to use a shield as the background - making it the same size as the CD and so the shield would be hidden when the CD was in its case.

Poster -

For this ancillary product we were thinking about simply using a picture from the Viking filming day and accompanying it with the name of the band and the song title. We wanted to keep the poster simple and not too busy, but also to use interesting images to attract the attention of the audience.

 

 

As soon as we begin the designing process I will upload photos to showcase our ideas about the ancillary products better.
