Evaluation Question 3

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

Before we began filming our music video , the internet was our main source of technology as during our research and construction stage it was used to help understand our target audience research about other artists and websites similar to ours and give us ideas on our music video and ancillary products.We used sites like Youtube to research artists and music videos and sites like Wikipedia and YouGov to get a better understanding of our audience.

After doing our research we put all our idea's together and created a pitch for the class. This pitch included all our reaserch and an animatic story board for our music video. 

During the process the main piece of technology we used was the DSLR camera which I provided . We saved all our videos on a memory card which  we transferred over to a group video drive so that we wouldn't be limited of space on the amount of video clips we could have. The quality of the camera was really sharp and in result of this we had crisp shots and not pixelated visuals. The DSLR Camera also had a setting allowing us to change how much light could go through the lens, this helped greatly with our lighting as most of our locations were dark.

When creating my ancillary products I used photoshop to produce my Digipak, 

When editing the music video we used  Adobe Premier Pro and Adobe After Effects to edit the green screen. In Premier Pro we cut, edited and allowed our video to be in sync with the song. On After Effects we edited a mini green screen so that it appeared that the photo was being zoomed into. We had to come in our spare time to learn how to edit the green screen. 

When creating my website I used Weebly to create my website, it provided FREE templates and a FREE personalised URL. 

LamieLDN had a instagram and twitter page to keep her audience up to date with her stay relevant with todays social media.

For my evaluation I have used Prezi , Word Document Camtasia 2, Emaze,and video interviews. These methods of technology make the evaluation more stimulating and interesting.
