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

I have used media technologies throughout this project. I have used a computer the most, I used a PC for researching songs and genres and I also used them for editing the footage into the final music video. I used final cut express to edit the footage that I had and this software has enabled me to create a good final project. When I was researching I also used social networks, when I had finished the video I posted it onto Facebook and asked people what they thought of it and the overall response was good. This helped me so much as it allowed me to get a wide range of people to provide me with feedback for the video. I also spent a lot of time on YouTube watching music videos from both other A2 media projects and professional videos to draw inspiration from.




Other equipment that I have used when creating the music video was of course the camera equipment. I used a High-definition camera and this allowed me to have a better quality video overall. The use of the blog to present all of my work is also an important factor in this question. Using a blog meant that I could log in to it and work on it from home which made it much easier especially when the deadline was coming up. In terms of the evaluation stages I have used media technologies to create two short videos and I have also used it to  create two written answers including this document.  Planning was a major part of this project and I used mostly paper based planning techniques however I did use a computer to transfer my notes onto the blog and also to arrange times and dates for filming.




As a brief summary then I have used media techniques in many ways throughout this project and without them I do not feel that I would have been able to complete the project at all. The use of a computer was essential as it made ever aspect of the project easier all the different areas of the portfolio.
