Media Evaluation

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

Twitter

We made them a twitter account so that they could come across as a real band and so they could update on what they were doing. For example I put that they were really looking forward to recording for the final time. Keeping the followers that we had updated on what we were doing.

Blogger

The blogger I used to post all my information about my research, inspiration etc.so I could come back and look at it whenever I want, mainly when we are evaluating are work and you need to referee back to it.

YouTube

I used YouTube at the start of the course work to find what videos that I like and could be a possible contender of the video we were going to do. However when we found what song we were going to do i used YouTube to look at the video to learn what the location looks like and because I was preforming in the video I had to also look at how the guy is playing the keyboard so I could get it right when I play in the video.

Video camera

The video camera is obvious we used it for filming the video and taking pictures of shots we could use on are digipak and magazine advert.

Phone

The only time I used my phone is texting dale what’s days we are going to film and what is happening with pat and harry.

IPod

The time I used my iPod is listening to the song to help Pat get the vocals right when singing and when the keyboard comes in at the start because it a long pause and I needed to time it when it came in.

After effects

We used this editing software to edit are video but it wasn’t are first choose, because we used it last year we knew that it takes really long to render and edit and Miss Sutton told us that it is more suited to pc rather than laptops which is what we did are editing off. So Dale tried to get adobe premiere but it wouldn’t support the file type that we were using so we had to back to After Effect’s.

Photoshop

I used Photoshop when doing my magazine advert and digipak which I found quite hard because I did a film last year and not a magazine so I had to learn most of it from scratch.  Luckily Dale was here to help me when I needed it but I got the hang of it in the end.
