Evaluation- Question 3.

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

During the production of my music video we used brand new state of the art:

-memory cards

-videocameras

-tripod

-spotlights

-batteries

-phones/ipods

Editing:

-final cut pro
-photoshop

-quark

-fontcase
-quicktime

Internet for research purposes:

-youtube

-rollip

-prezzie

-vimeo

-facebook

For example: facebook was used in order to gain opinions and improvements from people and our target audience. Social networks are an easy way of getting comments and feedback.

Using quark for text and layout for my practice digipak (to the right) allowed me to add writing and adjust the placement of the images. Unlike photoshop there are more fonts to choose from, and you can change the structure of the images.

Final cut pro is a programme which allowed us to edit our music video, lay down all our clips, whether they're long or short, then we watched them all and decided which ones we wanted to use. Within final cut pro we shortened clips, overlapped them, added dissolve effects, fade effects, colour changes and saving the document to quicktime, then handbraking it and uploading to the blog.

Within photoshop i used this for design and image manipulation inorder to create my advert poster and digipak panels. I used the wand tool to erase sections of the image, cropped images, manipulated them, resized and rotated them. This helped me create a professional look to my ancillary products.

We made an animatic at the beginning of the

process with all our shot ideas. We planned each shot, location and angle type, even though throughout the process we changed a few things. Here is the link to our animatic:
