How did you use Media Technologies in the costruction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

In the construction process, I made use of programmes such as Youtube, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier and Blogger. These modern technologies allow for more of a fluent way to translate new ideas and express ourselves in new manners which wouldn't have been possible a few years ago. These programmes have allowed me and my group to create a video to the highest standard, without them this would have been difficult, the simplicity and fluent layout to these programmes gave me the opportunity  to get to grips with them easily and create a video that I am proud of.

Youtube

Youtube is a website that has only newly gained popularity and it was very useful in the process of gaining our song. We used youtube to source our music, we chose 'I Wish' by Cher Lloyd. The access to this wouldn't have been possible without Youtube, it allows for artists to share their music much easier than ever before.

Blogger

Blogger is a website that started very small and gradually grew to home thousands of blogs. This website has given me the capability to log my work in a super visual manner and present everything neatly in one place, I found this a very new but more simplistic way. This was the best website and it has been used in the presentation of my work.

Adobe Premier Pro

Adobe Premier was chosen for editing our main product, as a group we tested out a few programmes to edit our video and we decided on this one because we found it was capable of more tricky editing techniques that we wanted to include in our video. This was chosen for the editing of the music video, I was in favour of this programme because the layout of it made in exceptionally easy to understand and use.

Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop is a programme developed to manipulate photos to create something that has it's own unique creativity combined with editing skills. As a group we used photoshop to develop our ancillary task. This programme made it easy for us to make a proffesional looking cover.

These programmes gave me the opportunity to learn and develop my skills as an editor, without them I wouldn't have been able to create the final product. I will be reviewing these products in detail and looking at how my media has developed because of them.

Planning

Prior to the creation of my main product and ancillary tasks I conducted lots of planning to get the right concept for my artist. This is my planning blog which shows the practice photoshoots, test shots, advert plans etc which helped to build my ideas for my video. Above is a video of all my planning.

Research

This is a video showing the research that went into creating my video, I used lots of mediums to gain enough research to give my artist the best concept possible. Here is a video of my research blog and all the mediums I used during the research process.
