Evaluation - Question 3

"How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?"


Construction and Research

In the construction and research of my music video I used various technologies to enable me to create an idea for my work, as well as understand how to produce it.

1. The Internet - Whereby I used websites such as Youtube, Google, Vevo, ITunes, Vimeo.
2. Cameras - State of the art Video Cameras, Mobile Phone Cameras and Digital Cameras.
3. Programmes - Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, iPhoto

In my planning and evaluation I used even more technologies to complete my work.

1. Internet - Vimeo, Da Font, Blogger, Youtube,  Prezi, Iaza, Photobucket, Facebook, Twitter
2. Programmes - FInal Cut Pro, Photoshop,  CLipgrab, Wordle
3. Cameras - Flip Camera

Here is another screen recording of me using IPhoto - an editing programme on the Mac. I used this programme to edit the colour of my image used on the Digipak, here is an example of me demonstrating some of the skills you can do on this, it involved me changing the contrast, cropping and image, and changing the colour scheme. This was important in making my image suitable for my Digipak and the theme I was trying to convey by doing this.

Here is a Quick Time screen recording of me using Photoshop. I am just demonstrating some of the things I am able to do on the programme. Therefore I am cutting out images, pasting them onto my work, adding and removing texts as well as rotating it and changing the colour.

Here is a Prezi of me showing how I have used media technologies in my work.

Here is the animation of our storyboard, we were able to complete this on Final Cut Pro as we felt it was a more creative way to capture our story board, and we could develop our skills on the programme and put good use to media technology! This was also easier to paste onto our blog, as we could edit the shots to the time of the music - similarly to what we done in the music video - following the conventions.
