Media evaluation question 4
How did you use media technologies in the research, planning, construction and evaluation
stages?
Research
The most vital part of my research was the internet. Everything that I needed to find out or use was at the click of a button. I was able to find out about my target audience, and also find out what kind of music and videos attracted their attention. The main online programs that I used on the internet were the search engine Google, which was a great help for finding websites to check the charts to see the popularity of our genre and also to get pictures of other artists to see how we should model our artists.
Research
Another important part of my research was the online program YouTube. This allowed me to view the music videos I needed to decide what features needed to be in my music video, and also to find out more about how popular the genre we were working on is. We looked around for pop punk videos and also indie rock videos. The artists that we looked at were Blink 182 , Red Hot Chili Peppers and The White Stripes
Research - Blogger
We used blogger to log everything that we had done during all the stages of the work, it was like a diary of research for us to put all our ideas into, so we knew what we were doing when we went into making the music video we had everything we needed.
Production
We used a Nikon Hd camera to film the music video footage in the studio.
For our still images in the ancillary task we used a Nikon D3000 to get good quality pictures
Editing Our footage
When editing our footage we used a programme called Final Cut Express. This was used to edit everything to do with the music video, all the colour corrections and the order of the scenes was done on here.
Editing still images
To edit our images we used two different programmes to get the image exactly how we wanted them. The programmes are InDesign and Photoshop. In photoshop we edited the colour on the images and anything else to do with the picture. Then we used InDesign to add a background and any writing to the image.
The computers
All of this work was done on the Apple Mac computers that they have in college, they had all the programmes and made it much easier to get the work done to a better standard.
