What are Ancillary Products?
Before being able to create my own ancillary products I first had to find out what the definition of an ancilary product is.
An Ancillary Product in terms of music videos is a secondary form of media which supports the album/single. The most recognisable ancillary products are CD Covers and also print advertisements. Now I knew what an ancillary product was I researched into 'real media texts' in order to give myself possible inspiration on how to construct the ancillary products.
Here are some examples of 'real media texts' CD Covers :

First Cut Feedback
We received both positive and negative feedback following a presentation of our first cut. This enable us to improve our product.
The following points were made:
- The narrative was interesting and executed well
- NO PERFORMANCE ELEMENT - this is not conventional of the pop genre.
- The conventions of the genre are evident as the narrative can be related to a mass audience.
Responding to this feedback we intend to include an element of performance from our artist. This is due to several of our peers suggesting this as an area of improvement for our product as it would make the extract more genre conventional

EDITING : UPDATE #2
The major aspects of post production editing has begun. The song 'Something I Need' has been imported into Final Cut Pro and we are now editing the clips to go in time with the music and match the vision of our storyboards as much as possible. We have also attempted to match up James' lip syncing with the song, although a challenge at first due tot he complexity of getting the words to match the lip syncing exactly however this challenge has now been reprimanded.

EDITING : UPDATE #1
The first stage of the editing process has begun. So far all the footage has been taken off Leonie's IPhone and has been imported onto the Apple Mac and thus onto Final Cut Pro. All of the clips were then viewed in order to disregard any of the bad quality clips. The relevant clips were then placed in the narrative ordering in Final Cut pro. These clips now await further post-production editing.

Draft Shooting Script Feedback
Our shooting script was both praised a critisised by our peers. Whilst we were praised for aspects such as the use of the rose to show the narrative and also the idea that both the beginning and ending shots are identical but with different circumstances. However the length of our shots was critisised. However due to the prolonged effect we want to create in the extract we have decided to keep in the long shots but as a result we may need to make other shots shorter.

Initial Thoughts of the A2 task
This word cloud demonstrates my initial thoughs about the A2 Task, this includes how I feel about the task and specific words I instantely associated with the A2 task.
Group Decisions
For this task I will be working with :
LEONIE LAW
Reasons I'm working with Leonie :
- Good Editor = will support me through this process, I can support her through the cinematography as this is an area I'm stronger in
- Creative = will bring interesting and original ideas which will increrase our chances on making an high quality video which will stand out.
- Intelligent = she is likely to produce a range of ideas which are creative and possible to create instead of abstract ideas which would be difficult to acieve.
- Friendly = means she is easy to speak to and to confide in.
- Good Listener = does not tend to dominate or force her ideas and allows me to make suggestions which are often incorpirated in our work. This was evident in our AS Task where my idea was used and developed with the help of Leonie
- Experiencd = Experienced with digital technology (youtubing etc,) but also has taken media for the past 3 years so it's evident she knows how to use media conventions to create a certain effect.
- Trustworthy = as shown when we worked together during the AS Task she is trustworthy in meeting deadlines and also turning up to filming dates and lessons effecientely.
