How did you use media technologies in the construction
and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Through the
planning,
research and
construction
of this
project, I
have
successfully
used a range
of different
media
technologies
to make my work have a bigger impact in terms of style, quality and aesthetics.
One of the most significant technologies I used was Adobe Premiere Pro, as it
allowed me to confidentially connect our shots together, to the music and
essentially make the music video. The software was extremely helpful in the
sense that I found it easy to match the moving images to the music; that was
edited and cut on Audacity. However Premiere crashed on several occasions,
which made the project quite time consuming. Also due to the massive amount of
date of footage; I had to work on a specific machine, which was often occupied.
The MindGenius software assisted me, to a great extent, as I had a lot of ideas
generated, however this programme managed to reflect which idea had the
greatest potential. It also gave me room to enhance my ideas to a greater extent,
and overall make the project. However as this software was only available to me
in college, I couldn't work at my own pace, therefore the planning was slightly
delayed than originally planned, nevertheless this wasn't an issue.
If it wasn’t for the social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and
YouTube; I wouldn’t have gathered as much audience feedback as I’d hoped for.
The instant user generated comments were especially valuable and only
obtainable through these web 2.0 technologies. YouTube was also helpful as
HTML convertor. However there were several problems loading YouTube at
college, this stumped audience feedback among fellow students.

By using SlideShare I managed to translate the majority of my work into a
HTML format, so I could embed my work onto my blog. My blog is crucial;
Blogger has made it very easy to clearly represent all of my work in a structured
formant.
Overall using a range of different media technologies not only advanced the time,
quality and look of my work, but it also increased my appreciation of the project
and made me more comfortable with the diverse technologies.
