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


The new media technologies that we used during the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages, such as cameras, macbooks and other programmes such as photoshop and imovie. Are all listed here with some pictures using the equipment.


This picture is using the camera to film the video the main things which i learnt from this were that the use of mes-en-scene is highly important and you must make sure of your surrondings before you start filming as this could either make or ruin the shot. Also the need to use different angles and have a steady hand.


i-movie which we used to edit our video. The main things which i learnt from using imovie is that you can edit out and crop shots the make all the scenes come together, changing the speed of the scenes, and the adding different effect to your video we used the vintage effect, which changed the colour slightly, adding credits in and using different tansitions.


Here is using photoshop to create the auxillary tasks, of the cd cover and magazine advert. Photoshop takes alot to get used to which i learnt and can make your work look really effective depending on what you want to do. The effects on the programme, benefit your work if you know how to use them, some are straightforward to use whereas others are not. The main ones that i used were the lasso magnetic tool which enables you to cut around the image and the colour effects the gradient etc.


i-dvd is where the video is tansferred and burnt onto a disk. Using this i learnt how to upload my video into i-dvd and choose the theme, add the movie into the title screen. Then it's ready to be burnt to a disk.


We used youtube in the research process, to look at music video's that could help us in creating our own ones. I created an account on youtube, and uploaded my music video. I already knew how to do this due to previous videos for media, i had uploaded. I learnt the importantance of audience feedback, it's helps to have comments made about your work so you know what can be improved and what is good about it.



We also used facebook for audience feedback, uploading our video onto here to give us more audience feedback as well as using youtube.



We used Prezi to present our evaluation, i had never used this progamme before so i learnt alot whilst using it. What to do and how to use it is pretty easy to pick up. I learnt how to add in text, videos and photos. Also how to create the paths of when you click which parts it leads to.


Used throughout all the stages of production, this was beneficial for recording all of the planning research construction and progress throughout the project.
