- 1. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
- 2. • Youtube is an online video based social media sharing website, it was vital in the many stages of my product as we used it extensively. One of the ways youtube was used in the research stage was to identify other videos of the same genre or by the same or similar artists in order to create an product that suited the specific aspects of the song we chose, on my blog I chose several music videos to take inspiration from all coming from youtube and did some in depth analysis of certain videos I found the most unique. Youtube was also used in the construction stage as it is the website our finished product was uploaded to, it boasts a ratings system as well as a free comment system for members which we benefitted from immensely in terms of feedback and improvements that could still be made. • Twitter and Facebook are another examples of online social media websites that were used in some of the four stages, they were used in the evaluation stage to obtain feedback so we could come to a simple conclusion on the effectiveness of our product for question three of the evaluation, they are effective as they appeal to wide audiences and information is passed quickly and with freedom. • Blogger was obviously used throughout the four stages as we have used it to record our entire years coursework, we have continuously been adding posts to show tasks have been completed to high standards. • Google is an online search engine and one of the most popular online websites on the planet and without it little would be achieved, its importance in the research and planning stages was incredible as we tried to get an in depth insight on artists there stylish techniques, the internet is vast and without the navigation offered by google lots of our key planning and research could not have taken place. Online Social Technologies
- 3. Online Technologies • Slideshare is a website that allows the uploading of powerpoints for the view of the public, its importance was shown in the evaluation stage as it was used to upload this very powerpoint so that you can see it on my blog, It was also available to me to use in the planning stages to create presentations of different ancillary texts in which I needed to evaluate but I chose to try to mix up the techniques I used and tried to only use each once. • Photovisi is a website that allows the user to create image collages, which I incorporated into my planning and my evaluation stages, it was effective in its purpose and really allowed a simple but creative and stylish effect rather than a boring linear selection of photos to display and analyse. • Google Mail was the final piece of online technology used in the stages of my product, using the power of email I sent out several politely worded messages to members of local councils asking if we could use certain areas for filming on certain dates and times without this we may not have been allowed to film and construct our finished product.
