Evaluation - Question 3

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


The Internet has been a good source when researching. I have used various sites to help gain knowledge on the genre.  I have used Blogger, Google and YouTube. 



Blogger has helped me in recording my journey through creating my music video, advertisement and digipak. Google has enabled me to gather information and visual images to compare other artists, which has influenced me immensely. Also, used YouTube to view other artists video to provide me with some inspiration and ideas. 

I have also used a different of technologies to help create my products. I have used video camera, digital still camera, tripod and memory card. 






To create the clips for my video, i mainly used a video camera to record my shots. The tripod allowed us to steadily shot our shots and make sure our framing was correct and levelled. The memory cards protected the work we filmed on the camera and allowed us to import our work onto the computers. We used digital still cameras to take photos of our potential locations and also on-set photos. 

I also used Final Cut Pro and Photoshop to help me with my practical work further. 




Final Cut Pro allowed me to create my music video. It enabled me to cut shots, put shots in certain places  and allowed my music to be insync with my clips. Photoshop helped me to create my ancillary texts. It provided me with the different layers styles, fonts and textures. Photoshop also provided me with visual benefit like the brightness of my image.

All these elements have helped me to produce my final products.
