Evaluation - Question 3

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


Internet and Software

For research, we used blogger to upload all our work and keep it in a blog format. If we saw a video on youtube that we were influenced by, we'd put it on the blog. When we finished our planning such as storyboard and animatic, we placed it on the blog. The blog was basically our stockpile area for work to show our progress.







                      
  I also used Youtube to find videos for researching and planning our music video. We found influences by other grime artists for our music video and also other videos that had effects we wanted to use as well in our music video.




Photoshop Elements

Using photoshop elements, I was able to create my digipak using templates provided on the system. I created this 3 panel digipak plus an advertisement using the software. It allowed me to use an image I created of a sugar skull which we used as the motif of our music video, I used it on the front cover of my digipak.





Final Cut Pro



Final Cut Pro is the software we used to edit our music video. It consists of a timeline in which you place the clips onto the timeline and you're able to cut and move the clips into position.









Vimeo: A media site like Youtube. We placed our music video on there for everyone to see.

Dafont: A website filled with different fonts to choose from. I used this website for my ancillary products.

QRcodeGenerator: Square pixeled bar codes which are scannable using a smart phone. I placed a QR code on my digipak for an exclusive fansite for my artist.

Technology:


Cameras - Used to film the music video. We used expensive JVC HD cameras which gave us good resolution and a good diverse use of the camera like zooming in and out without the video going pixelated.


Still Camera - Used to take still images


Flip Cameras - Small handheld cameras used to record short clips. I used the flip cameras to record short explanations of my work.


Memory Cards - Used to film the music video.


External Hard Drive - We used a 500GB external HD to store all of our work
