Evaluation 4 - How did you use new media technologies in research and planning construction and evaluation stages?

Throughout the course of our Research and planning, Construction and evaluation stages , as a group we used several media technologies , to help aid us in producing work to the best of our ability's.

The first media technology that we would have used , would have been the internet on a computer , where we researched the typical conventions of a music video , examples of music videos and information about our inspirational artist, Drake. To the left is an image of me using the internet to research and plan stages of our music video . In particular , the site "www.google.com" was an extremely useful tool for our planning and research.

The image to the left is a screen shot I took , whilst using the website "www.youtube.com" this is the site of which , we were able to listen to different songs belonging to our artists , and make a decision which song we liked best as a group. Youtube was extremely useful as not only were we able to research video from our desired artist , we were able to watch existing music videos and analyse the conventions of a good music video , which helped tremendously when planning and constructing our own music video.

Towards the left is an image of my camera, I used to film , several clips of our music video. It's a samsung 14Megapixel camera , although its only a digital camera , me and Jamie were both impressed with the quality of filming from this camera. I also used this camera to photograph the Artist for our ancillary task .








The image inserted to the left , Is an image I photographed , whilst we was filming at Knightsbridge . In the photograph you are able to see Jamie filming our main artist , using a video camera , that we borrowed from school. The video camera we used was a JVC recorder , in order to film a still and steady shot we had use a tripod , in support.







This image to the left is a picture of me using Imovie . Imovie was an essential tool thoughout our production process , since we used it to edit our music video until it was complete. When using I movie , we firstly imported the song 'marvins room' where we then imported footage each time we went filming. It was absolutely crucial that we imported footage to Imove immediately , as if the camera's were lost at , we would have lost our footage. Imovie was an amazing tool to use for our editing , in the past we had used Imovie HD however for this project , we both felt that IMovie was more advanced , with better editing tools , to create a higher quality music video.
