Evaluation 1

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

There was many types of media technologies which I used in order to produce my music video for this project. Technology helped me with the research, planning, construction and even the evaluation.

In the planning stage we had a drawn plan of how we wanted our music video to look like. With the aid of technology my group and I were able to turn our drawing into an animatic video showing what our music video will look like. This helped us analyse what shots go where with the song lyrics. I made the animatics by scanning our drawings into the iMac and then using the editing software Final Cut Pro X to make the drawings into an Animatic Video.

The internet and social media sites such as YouTube were used when I was researching music videos and music artists when my group and I were in the stage of choosing our song. I also used it to research digipaks of real artists in the same genre and this technology helped me create my digipak which I created on Adobe Photoshop which is an image manipulating software.

The construction stage of this project was where I used the most technology to accomplish the tasks in hand. Filming all the shots were done with DSLR Cameras and my Canon SX710 HS Camera. We gained various skills using different cameras and got to use various types of equipments as well to accomplish the shots we needed. We then used the SD cards to store the footage, transferred them to the iMacs and then edited them on Final Cut Pro X. Final Cut Pro allowed us to editing the colour, add transitions, cut the clips and add text onto the footage which helped us create the final music video we have. The use of the latest and top quality technology helped us produce a high quality video with high resolution and image quality.

For the evaluation stage I will be using technology as well such as Final Cut Editing Software, Prezi and a powerpoint presentation. This makes the evaluation more visually interesting as well as informative.
