How effective is the combination of your main and ancillary tasks?
My ancillary tasks all had a recurring theme of a charred, almost old and rusty skull on a rusty metal type background. This could be a combination with my music video because the setting for my narrative and band shots were also in somewhat similar, rusty, suburban areas. This use of rusty, dingy and neglected areas and textures is something of a heavy metal cliche, an idea which I play on and use in the combination of the tasks.
The use of cliches of the genre is also important in assessing the effectiveness of the combination of my main and ancillary tasks. The concept of using a skull as an integral part of my ancillary task, and as part of a heavy metal album advertisment, is a common heavy metal cliche, which is followed on with the style of my music video.
The use of a skull within my ancillary tasks is an important idea because of its connotations and their ties with my main task. The connotations associated with a skull tend to lean towards masculinity and violence, possibly even death. This is effective in that the theme for the whole of my narrative aspect in the main task is a chase scene, which due to the way it is filmed, shares the connotations of violence, and through an all male cast, of masculinity too.
Having tried for 30 minutes to upload the pictures I need for relevant comparison, I havent got anywhere, so I'll move on.
