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

The combination of my ancillary texts and my music video work very well. The music video has the country up-beat feel and the ancillary texts support this by portraying the sub-urban setting and the lone artist. I think the combination of ancillary texts and my media product is effective. Both my ancillary products and my media product share the same charactertistics in terms of simplicity and genre. My music video revolves around the narrative of a single character, who simply decides to sing the song around his sub-urban home town. There narrative is simple to follow, there are no catches before or at the end of the video and in the beginning the audience is fully aware of the main characters situation. This simplicity is duplicated in the ancillary texts by the layout of the digipaks and the digipak advert. I made sure that my background for both of them was a simple picture of my main artist whose face remained hidden to give the character a mysterious effect. The genre of my music fits that of my music video and my ancillary products making them an effective combination and recognisable/relatable media products.
