• Can include light effects, female dancers, visual graphic effects but style differs between videos

• Enabled us to experiment with forms and conventions

E.g.• Used – quick cuts and short takes• Developed – synchronous sound• Challenged – montage style

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

•Follows house style.

•Fits to genre and style of music.

• Graffiti is ‘modern day’ like the music

•The Danger sign can relate to the style of music, loud, boisterous.

•Lips idea from ‘the rocky horror picture show’

• All the images used i.e lips, danger sign, hand prints are photos taken by us and edited in photo shop. We cut images off t-shirts, jeans, posters around college to create more interesting looking images for our poster.

• We used bright colours as it fits the style of music as it is loud and catchy.
