Evaluation Question 2


How effective is the combination of your main product and your ancillary texts?
With our main product and ancillary tasks, we tried our best to keep the conventions and the rules the same. As we have a football advert for our main task and for the ancillary - we made a sponsorship sequence including the sports drink and that was football related too.
In order to continue some of the conventions and the rules, we made sure we used the same type of shots and the length of the shots. An example of this would be when it cuts to me (the main character), dribbling with the ball and shooting, as we used medium shots when i take the touch to set myself and shoot. 
Linking all three also meant our audiences could make the connection between the three, and we had the slogan - "Pulse, for the game" in each tasks and this meant it is more likely to be remembered by the people either watching it, or listening to it on the radio.
The costumes are also similar and doing the main task was effective because it made Charlie and I realise how good and realistic it looked using plain colours throughout the both tasks. We also have the same characters involved in each tasks. The reason for this is because we wanted it to look familiar and also the characters fit the sport and the role well.

The radio advert was effective because it allowed us to express the key information well and meant we could really sell the product. An example of this would be when we inform the people listening about the prices and where they could find one of the energy drinks. It links well with the other tasks because the radio advert allowed us to present it in a different way and we used different information. Whereas when we did the main text and sponsorship sequence, we did it visually and used the drink to show that it improves performances of people who drink it. 

The sponsorship sequence was effective and linked well with the other tasks because it had similar content to the TV advert we made. The reason being that it was both football related and both have similar codes and conventions. They both also involve the main character scoring a goal and the performance of him improving because of the Pule energy drink. 
                                                                                                    
The image (left) is a screen grab from Corel Studio Pro, and it is from my ancillary task which involved the character (me) on the football pitch and it is a sponsorship sequence. It is advertising the Pulse energy drink and this is an image of me taking a penalty - and I score. This is showing the drink to be positive and effective in peoples performance.
