Research - Ancillary tasks

The task that we have chosen is the music video. This includes three tasks. Alongside the music video is two ancillary tasks - a digipak and a magazine advert. I'm order to understand the concepts and what needs to be included in both these products, I decided to research existing products for the genres we are considering doing for the coursework. I found this quite easy due to the fact that in GCSE media we did a piece of coursework on both music promotion and a magazine front cover. I researched both posters and album covers for the genres we are looking at and then printed them out so that I could analyse them and identify the conventions they all share and what are specific to individual genres. The research really helped me understand what to include in my magazine advert and also the advert and what conventions I may want to challenge or conform to to attract the target audience we are looking for. I will attach the images of my research in a separate post.
