Media Evaluation - How effective is the combination of your media product and ancillary texts?

To answer this qestion I created an online powerpoint on the website Prezi. The website link is:

To make this website work you have to click the button in the bottom right corner (where it has a play button and it says 'show'). Then to move through each page press the same button again until it goes through all of the slides and then ends on the conclusion slide (after this press escape).




Encase this website does not work, i have copied the text from the website below.

I have tried to create effectiveness in the combination of my main product (music video) and my ancillary texts (poster and digipak). I have created this by using stylistic and thematic themes throughout my work. It was also created through the moods, atmosphere and the meaning which I was creating between the different products.
Some of the stylistic and thematic links which I created between my main product and ancillary texts were effective in creating continuity and similarities between the different products. The first thematic and stylistic links I made was between the ancillary texts. This being because I used the same writing throughout the digipak and on the poster. Another link which I created between the ancillary texts was the style of the poster and the digipak. This created a link between the two because I used my front cover of my digipak and my poster. I created a thematic and stylistic link throughout the digipak because most of the pages in my digipak are similar because there is always a gramophone with lyrics and drawings coming out of it.
I created effectiveness throughout my main product (my music video) and my ancillary texts (poster and digipak). This was created because I always had an artistic style. This is shown from my music video being a stop motion with photographs which I had taken and then cut out and placed on different backgrounds to create my stop motion animation. This is showed in the screen shot opposite. This artistic style is carried on throughout my digipak and poster. This being because in the digipak we have hand drawn pictures (which relate to the song), also the lyrics in the digipak are also going to be hand written. 
We tried to create a upbeat mood and atmosphere from our audience. The happy atmosphere was created from using emotional pleasures for the viewer. This was created through the use of our love story and from how the couple stayed together. The story of a love story usually makes a happy atmosphere so we decided to go along with this idea as the happy atmosphere would work best with our stop motion animation video. This atmosphere was also created because I used a hybrid of genres (two or more different genres) of positivity and romance. These genres being animation and romance. The way how these two were interweaved made a very happy atmosphere for the audience viewing the music video. I believe that this atmosphere was succeed well.
I believe that the combination of my main product (music video) and my ancillary products (advert and poster) were successful and worked well in the fact that they all showed continuity between the different products.
