Evaluation question 4

(Created on bubbl.us)

Research:

In my research I used a variety of medias: the ones used most were probably Blogger, Google (search engine), Youtube and Vimeo. All of these sites were very useful for what we used them for.
Blogger was used to take note of all my research, Google allowed me to search for pictures and information, Youtube and Vimeo allowed me to look at existing music videos (professional and other A2 Media students'). These sites were useful as they allowed me to easily access several different forms of information to help influence how I created my product (videos, documents, images, wikis).

 

Planning:

 In planning I used a variety of different medias ranging from online media to basic media on a dell computer to editing media. I used online sites such as blogger as an area to record my planning and used online sites such as Slideshare to demonstrate my plans to others. 

      

 I then used software such as Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Powerpoint) to plan ideas, share ideas with peers and my colleagues who I was going to be working with to create the music video.

              

The editing software I used was Adobe Photoshop CS3 (to create a practice digipak cover) and Adobe Premier Pro (to edit practice lip sync videos and create a moving storyboard). I had slight difficulties with Photoshop to begin with but as I have used it last year I soon got the hang of it and learnt the basics. I had big problems using Premier Pro though as I had never used it before but I believe I now have a basic understanding of this media and how to use it.

I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 for editing as I had a basic understanding of how to use it and I wanted to increase that knowledge. I chose to use Adobe Premier Pro as I have used other Adobe editing software and hoped it would be slightly similar when using it, making it easier for me.                                                                                                                              

              

Construction:

In my construction I used online media, filming and photography equipment, editing software.

For the filming of our music video and the photography of our digipaks and magazine adverts.

The cameras we used were a Canon 650D + 18.5 to 50mm lens and a Samsung NX 1000 + 20 to 50mm lens. We used these cameras as they both shoot in HD allowing for a video to be clearer when viewed.

I used the Adobe Photoshop CS3 to edit my digipak and magazine advert and used Adobe Premier Pro to edit our music video (for the same reasons as before).

We used online media sites such as Youtube to post the video online so others could view our video and respond to it.

Evaluation:
In the evaluation I used different medias such as Youtube, Blogger, Prezzi. Adobe Premier Pro and Google Docs. I used these variety of sites to show an understanding of different forms of media and IT and how to use these different technologies.
