Question 1- In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media product?

Here we evaluate in three parts how our media products use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products.

Part 1 Digipak-  In this video the digipak is discussed how we used influences from real media products and how we developed used and challenged forms and conventions from those influences. As well has how we challenged used and developed forms of the indie rock genre. 


Part 2 website- includes a screen-cast of Isla's website and two websites that inspired us. The two websites that we looked at were: Ed Sheeran and Coldplay. This is because we wanted a couple of well established artists so that we can take ideas from artists that were doing well and adapt the forms and conventions of these artist's websites to suit a new music artist. We chose these two artists in particular because Isla is an Indie Rock artist but with influences from Pop, also. This is why we mainly looked at Coldplay. The band began as an Indie Rock group but they have began to include more Pop influences in their music and branding. This is exactly the route that we wanted to go down with Isla.


Part 3 music video- Here we have looked at how our music video uses develops and challenges forms and conventions from real media products. 


Question 2- How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?

Cross media branding and synergy is essential to ensure our main product and ancillary texts can be seen as one brand. Successful synergy ensures the Isla brand can re recognised across all album products, from the music video to website to magazine covers. The following presentation highlights the connections made between our products, demonstrating whether we have been successful in creating a brand for our artist.
