Evaluation Part 1

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

Throughout this project, media technologies have played a large role in the making and planning of the music video. From the beginning of this project, when we began our artist research, we used Youtube to discover artists within our chosen genre and were able to view music videos and digipaks online to help us with our reserach. I then used photoshop to create my digipak and poster for our artist, using a range of features to edit the pictures and make it fit the genre, and help to create an artist.

During the filming of the video we used DSLR cameras to film all of the shots, as well as using a tripod to make the shots steady and clear when uploaded to the iMacs. We then stored the footage on SD cards so that we could keep all of the shots together and upload them.

Media technologies were also used once we had filmed the video, as I used Final Cut Pro to edit the video. I used this to cut the video, match it with the music and add effects and colouring. This was the most crucial part of making the music video as it is what made it match the song and make it look professional. I feel that I developed my skills for Final Cut Pro throughout this project as I learnt new techniques on how to edit the video, such as different effects and how to cut a video to match a beat of a song.
