All three products made including the video fit well together as a pack for my A2 coursework because of the similar features on all products.
Digipak
The consistent use of the same colours on the Digipak (black and white) represent the unhappiness of both actors as they just can't find each other again so at first they are sad and frustrated. The back of my Digipak is in colour which represents the happiness at the end (the back) once they've found each other and its more a relaxed feel that I want my audience to be apart of.
The main image used on the front cover is the two characters back to back, to show the main idea of the film, that they are constantly searching for each other, looking different ways but all along they're right behind each other so I chose to use this kind of image so the audience can also understand.
I used word 'Irrevocable' because of the fact they are both irrevocably in love with each other and being apart is hard for each other hence why they're both searching until they find each other again because they don't want it to be the last time.
Poster
My magazine poster follows the same conventions used on other popular music magazines such as 'name' 'price' and where to buy etc.
1.) When researching different music posters I noticed a lot of them had close/mid shots that drew in the audience and made them feel 'closer' to the band. The reason I used the same type of shot for my characters is because I wanted the audience to bring their attention to them and when people are familiar with that person they will be more inclined to buy it. One technique that I took from different style models was splitting the characters apart, this is showing opposite sides and that they're constantly looking the other way for each other.
2.) The text size was extremely important to me as I had seen other music posters where the text size was too small for my viewing and it ruined the whole thing for me so I didn't want the same thing happening to my poster. The largest text I wanted was the title of the band and the name of the album. When looking at my style models such as 'Kerrang' and 'Smash Hits' you firstly see the main image and then your attention is diverted straight onto the title so this had to be big and bold. I set out the image in line with the title so they could be seen in comparison with each other.
3.) Colour was also important to me and keeping it all the same so that it was consistent throughout and black and white seemed like a good choice to me because it represents sadness and lost which is what both actors are going through.
