How did you use new technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
The construction of my music video was based around using the Canon DSLR EOS 650D. The DSLR enabled me to use different settings on the camera such as using the focus lenses in order for me to have high quality footage. Furthermore, the skills I learnt from using the Canon meant that I could use a variation of shots such as panning and extreme close ups.

Using the rule of thrids in my music video enabled me to to position the object or person in a different place on the image. An example of this is is when the artist is singing by red metal railings.
When I was putting together the two print products, I used the same camera as I did for the music video. The DSLR enabled me to have high quality and focused stills, which I went on to editing in the post production process.
For the research part of this process, I used the software Quicktime and photobooth in order to capture footage for my audience research, focus groups and also the editing process of the two print products.
I used FinalCutPro X to also edit my main music video. With this software i was able to add in different effects and transitions such as fade away to make my music video 'Don't worry About me' look professional. Using different tools on this software like the blade tool and making the footages faster slower also made my music video and the visuals look effective.
To edit my magazine advert and digpak, i used adobe photoshop. This software allowed me to explore different tools which would change the gradient of my image, the brightness and other features. I was also able to add in different images which i got from the internet such as the iTunes sign and barcode which would ultimately make my magazine advert look professional.
make action GIFs like this at MakeaGif
As you can see, this picture in the gif is different to my final magazine advert and this is because i experimented with different images but i couldn't get a good gradient on this specific image. But it shows an idea f how i edited the final one.
Moreover, the final digipak and the original image used for the digipak are different.
I changed the colour of the picture from coloured to black and white, edited in a brick wall which i got from goole and cropped out the red bar and metal shutter.
In this process of creating my music video and two print products i created a mood board on a word document and an animatic.
For my evaluations, i used a multiple of softwares. i used powerpoint, Blogger, a GIF website, Youtube, and Soundcloud.Blogger was used often during the whole process, i noted all the steps i made. Blogger was the main platform i used in order to produce and share my power points and voice notes to my group. I was able to easily produce posts with my group and also on my own.
