The possible ancillary tasks include:
- A website homepage for the band or film
- A digipak for the albums release
- A magazine advertisement for the digipak
- A film magazine front cover, featuring the film
- A poster for the film
Both making a film or music video appeals to me, and so to decide which one I shall do I will look to see which appears more practical and enjoyable. With a short film there is the difficulty of trying to drive a clear narrative in such a short space of time. There is also the difficulty of finding good actors who are willing to participate. There are also several difficulties associated with making a music video, lip syncing for example is notoriously difficult to do, and getting it wrong can largely ruin a music video. Also trying to create a narrative to support a piece of music in a very short space of time could be incredibly difficult. I think that making a short film could be much easier to do wrong, however it possibly also allows for considerably more creativity and freedom. In a music video however you are restricted to the context of the song, although this could allow for some guidance and a starting point.
With regards to which of the two ancillary tasks I will do, it is likely I will choose to do the magazine front cover and a poster for a film. This decision is primarily sourced in my ability to use Photoshop. The making of a magazine front cover and poster will be primarily done through Photoshop, and so having some prior experience with Photoshop will make it easier for me to do, and to do well. Equally, I decided against doing a website homepage because I have little knowledge of how to go about making one. Furthermore the process of having to learn the resources and the method of making a website homepage would be largely time consuming, and may result in a lower quality outcome of work. It is unlikely I will do a digipak purely because I have very little prior knowledge of them, and as it's likely that I will do a short film over a music video, and a digipak is not well suited to that.
