Production Log

The drawings of the magazine advert have given me a clear indication of what I want the magazine advert to look like. These pictures will help when my group and I start constructing the advert on Photoshop.

Ideas for Ancillary Texts

Production Log

After researching into different ancillary text, I now have a clear idea of the codes and conventions needed to make the CD/CD cover and Magazine advert look realistic.

Lyric analysis

Song lyrics - by Amy Piner

The break up - by Amy Piner

Chorus

No more lying cheating

Breaking my heart then leaving

I wanted you to own up,

Stop playing games and grow up

You think that you can be you

Have your cake and eat it to

It’s time for you to wake up

I think that we should break up

This has come to an end

No I am not your friend and

You are all alone now

It’s time for me to go

So go leave and get gone

I thought that you were the one

But now I’m happy to say

I’ll never see you again

Verse 1

Why am I here again?

You said before that your just friends

Now it’s time to stop the faking

My heart you won’t be breaking

Chorus

Mini Chorus

You twisted all that I said

Like it was all in my head then

Went straight to hers and left me

Like she meant more than me

I look back and laugh now

How I was tricked and cast out

But now I’m seeing clearly

I hope that you can hear me.

Verse 2

My faith in you has disappeared

Your nothing to me let’s make that clear

The spell is broken your charm has gone

I know won’t go back for more

Chorus

I'll never see you again
Never see you again

Production Log

My questionnaire and the results gained from this gave me a clear view on what my target audience aged between 12 and 26 like to see in music videos. I will now move on to analysing my chosen artist lyrics and do some research before drawing up a storyboard and ancillary texts.
