Evaluation of the A2 coursework

An presentation created by the programme prezi to demonstrate our technological aspects and techniques through evaluating our coursework.

Ancillary product- Advert

This is one of the ancillary products that our group has created through the use of advertisement. The use of the red fist clearly represents anger and strength for the lower class, as they rise from the society boundaries in order to gain individualism and express their alter egos across a more national distribution. the red fist also creates reference to russian culture therefore also linking to communism which also shows inquisitiveness of becoming more independent and reluctant to form their own groups of society to enhance the conflict between the social classes.The use of the text "join the revolution" also links to similarities to previous ideas which is used to also enhance audience members to join their lower class's resistance in order to build their own society values. This therefore links to the theory of Morley through a social and political aspect. Also the landscape has been used from the New York City landscape photograph that our group has used from our recent visit. And the red fist is another photograph of our teacher's hand with the use of editing to change the colour contrast and differentiation to the red pigment.

Ancillary product- Digipack inside

This is our group's final idea of the inside of the ancillary product digipack. Our group has decided to maintain the british culture by applying the use of the iconic british flag in order to resemble british culture and their patriotic system. The use of the iconography of the London landscape, particularly, the big ben are used to create the London landscape. This also represents the band Muse is now influencing the social minds of youth culture in the United Kingdom, therefore, building the distribution and conventions for the audience to observe with intentions and inquisitiveness. The landscape has also been used from a photograph of a recent New York city visit in order to achieve high quality and potential for our intended audience members. 

Ancillary product- Digipack

This is our group's final ancillary product of the digipack for the front cover. The iconic red fist with the british flag are used to represent different variety of cultures and different associations of governmental also political aspects. The use of the colours red, blue and white also symbolise the british culture and builds the repetition in order for the audience members to consume and consider as they observe the product. The use of the grey brick background is also used to build the lower class's atmosphere and landscape to establish the connections and relationship between the institution and audience members for the establishment. The title "the Resistance" is still maintained in order for the repetition and conflict to become more interacting and show a lot of interest for the audience members to consider and show a lot of potential. However also the silhouettes are male due to masculinity from gender representations are shown as powerful and contain a lot of strength and dominance over the feminine gender for supremacy. And finally the use of the hole in the wall also symbolises the british culture and the lower class breaking the boundaries of the upper class society therefore showing enigma and confusion for the audience members to consume with contempt.
