Q4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
YouTube-YouTube enabled me to search different artists and different genres to find which song and genre I wanted to look into. I used youtube to also find and help me with my case studies, for example I gained inspiration from music videos produced in the 90's. I also used youtube to help me with certain functions on Premiere pro when editing as I found it difficult to get used to premiere pro-I watched videos which showed me how to use slow motion and add certain effects to complete my music video.
Whatsapp/snapchat ( social media)-As a group creating the music video required constant communication with all members and even both the actors within the music video. These social media platforms enabled us to organize meetings, shootings and discuss progress of the music video. Snapchat also allowed us express our ideal for the video. For example, I had an initial plan to use Kiana & Drake –On A Wave and I used snapchat to show my group members the song and the artists. Snapchat also allowed to share pictures of inspiration the video.
DSLR camera & equipment-We were lucky enough for our college to lend us a DSLR camera to produce good quality footage and also equipment which also aided us in producing the right footage. The camera was difficult to use at first and to understand but overtime and with the help of youtube and IT support at our college we were able to get the hang of it eventually. The tripod allowed us to get clean shots and achieving handles which we would have been able to, if handheld. The DSLR camera also allowed to playback footage very easily so we kept track of the footage that we needed and had completed. The DSLR was also very useful in taking pictures for our print products.
Premiere pro-We used premiere pro to edit our footage and manipulate the videos to fit into the music video. We found premiere pro straightforward when cutting and dragging but with certain features and effects we required help from our college IT support and watched some youtube videos to help explain certain things. It also allowed us to simply playback our video and spot out areas in which we needed to develop and change. Overall premiere pro allowed us to manipulate the video in ways in which we wanted.
Adobe photoshop-For our print products such as our CD and magazine cover we used photoshop to add in images and create each template. This allowed us to be creative with what we wanted on our CD and magazine cover for example it allowed us to be control of the font, color, text and positioning of the images. Before starting our actual print products we did an experiment to practice using Adobe photoshop.
Prezi/Slide-Share/Emaze-These presentation technologies allowed to me share my evaluation while also allowing me to be creative how it looked like. For example on Prezi it allows me to change and edit the background of my presentation. All of them are fairly easy to use and do not require learning certain features. All technologies allowed to me to easily add text and images making it easier to express my work
Blogspot-Using blogspot allowed me to present my work through the process of planning, creating and editing my music video. It allowed me to document my work so I could keep up with I had already completed and what needed to be completed.
