Evaluation - Question 3

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


To make our music video, we had to research, plan, make and evaluate .To do this i used various media technologies.

For the research i mostly used the internet, I went on websites like youtube.Youtube was the main website i used to watch music videos, there are many videos which made it easier to get ideas for our music video. We saw good and bad videos to make sure our video was done properly.




We used blogger to blog about everything we done, if we watched a video on youtube we would blog about it and how it helps with our music video. If we would have some ideas for our video by blogging about it, it helped us to remember so then we could use it. It was a step by step blog so everyone else can know how we created our video and what inspired us to do it the way we did. I am also using blogger now to write up my evaluation and bringing everything together.
I used different multimedia to make my blog interesting. I included videos, images  so it would all be visible and for me to remember what i have done and how i did it.

We used final cut pro to plan our video as well as editing it.
We created an animatic when we were planning our music video so we had a idea of what we wanted it to look like. We used pictures from google to create the background then used dolls as if they were the artist in our video.
Here is the animatic we created using Final Cut Pro:  http://candipop11group25.blogspot.com/2011/10/animatic-of-our-music-video.html

 For editing our music video,  Final Cut Pro was the programme that we used. This helped us create the best       music video. Our video needed a lot of edits to be the best it could be.  

The track was added first then the shots from the music video and we were able to put them anywhere we wanted and see where it worked.

I used photoshop to construct my advertisement and digipak. Photoshop helped me to create my ancillary products in a way that it would be recognizable to people and linked to the music video. It enabled me to use pictures of the artist combined with other things such as text. There were various fonts we could use but i chose to                          use a font from another website http://www.dafont.com/, and then downloaded it into photoshop.

These are my ancillary products made on photoshop:



Finally the most important technology used to make the music video was brand new state of the art video cameras. The camera was great for filming, we had memory cards to save all of the shots we filmed to then putting them together on final cut pro.
