How did you use media
technologies in the construction
and research, planning and
evaluation stages?
Construction
• We used media technologies in the construction
stages by filming our music video on a HD camera.
This enabled us to ensure that we had a high
resolution picture to make sure that our music
video looked as professional as possible. It also
meant that when we created our ancillary
tasks, we had a high resolution screen shot from
our music video. W e used Final Cut Express to
construct our music video, we did this by
uploading the shots from the camera onto the mac
and converting them using Voltaic. We then
created a new Final Cut Express project and
imported the files into it. From here we could then
drag them into the timeline and arrange them in
the order that matched our storyboard.
• As well as this we also used a mobile
phone to purchase our track on the
iTunes store and then uploaded it via USB
on to the Mac. We then imported it in to
Final Cut and placed it on our timeline.
• We also used media technologies
throughout our ancillary tasks, the main
one being Adobe PhotoShop. After we
had taken a screenshot from Final Cut
Express, using the Mac screen capture
tool, we opened it in PhotoShop and
began constructing our poster and album
cover. To do this we used layers and the
opacity tool to create the effect of the
lights and performer being in the sky
behind the protagonist. On top of this we
then inserted text to follow the
conventions of a poster and CD case to
create an effective and professional
appearance.
Research
• We used media technologies in the research for our promotional pack to create a good
understanding of what is expected of our products. For example, we used YouTube for
research in to music videos of the same genre to find conventions which we could
use, develop or challenge to create an effective product.
• Before creating our main products we also used Final Cut and a HD camera to create both a
performance and a narrative preliminary task, to give us a better understanding of how to
combine cinematography, editing, sound and mise-en-scene within a music video to make it
effective.
• Within the research for our ancillary tasks we used media technologies such as iTunes to see
how an album cover appears in a digital format, as people are now more likely to buy music
online than in hard copy format therefore the appearance of the album cover on screen is
just as important as the printed version. We also used Google to help us create a professional
appearance of the back of the album cover, for example what to write for copyright and used
the copy and paste tool on the Mac to place the copyright symbol and barcode on to the
back of our album cover within PhotoShop.
• We also used Blogger to look at past student’s blogs to understand what they did well or
aspects that we could improve on with our own products.
• As well as this we also used Google to research in to posters. We found that they often
included a review and if they were currently on sale or their release date. Therefore
the media technology we used helped us understand what needed to be included
within the poster and gave us a better understanding of what the product should look
like.
Planning
• We used media technologies in the planning of our promotional pack through the use of
Google maps to scout possible locations. This was so that we could see if they were suitable
before we decided to go and look at them in person. This was an important part of our
planning as we needed to get a good idea of the location before we went to look at it in
person otherwise it would have been a waste of time.
• We also used the internet to check the weather forecast for the days that we were filming to
ensure that it would be suitable to film. Because we filmed in many different locations within
1 town we needed to ensure that it remained dry all day so that when we put it into our
timeline it was the same weather throughout.
• We also used face book email to organise our actors to be at the right place and also to plan
the day. This was an excellent example of where digital technology was vitally important
within our planning as without it we would have found it very difficult to organise our
itinerary and to know where we needed our actors and at what time.
• Another way we used digital technology was by
using digital technology to take pictures (with our
mobiles) and upload them to blogger. An example
of this was taking photos of our story board and
uploading it to blogger on the mac.
Evaluation
• We used media technologies within our evaluation question 1 by using YouTube to go back to
the similar music videos which we used within our research. We then paired these with the
clips we had taken using the HD camera and had place in to Final Cut. We created another
new project within Final Cut and used this to edit together the clips to demonstrate where
we had either used, developed, or challenged the conventions of the real music videos within
our own. We then further developed by using YouTube to upload the Final Cut Express
project and used the annotation tool to comment on these conventions.
• For evaluation question 2 we used a mobile phone to record a commentary about the
effectiveness of the combination of our main product and ancillary tasks. We then uploaded
these via USB to the Mac and imported them into a new project on Final Cut Express. After
this we imported photos into Final Cut Express that related to what we are talking about in
our commentary to provide evidence for our comments. For example photo’s of similarity’s
between the products of our promotional pack. We then uploaded the Final Cut Express
project to YouTube.
• For evaluation question 3 we used the social media site Facebook to promote our video and
to gain audience feedback. We also used the statistics tool on YouTube to see the
demographics of the people who had viewed our video.
• For evaluation question 4 we used slideshare to uploads a power point presentation which
we then linked to our blog.
