The document discusses the use of various media technologies during a construction process. Pencil and paper were initially used for storyboarding and creating ideas before using computers. Apple Macs were used for editing videos and allowed for organization, transitions, and uploading footage. YouTube and Flickr were used to store and share videos and images online for the blog.

The cameras quality was exceptional and created picture perfect quality for our video.The only difficulty we faced with the camera was when we attempted to do moving shots; the tripod doesn’t have that function to swivel around. We therefore had to attempt extremely careful hand movements which in the end were successful.4000020000Through using the camera and tripods last year, myself and my group found it easy to work with the cameras enabling smooth transitions and camera shots.Every day we carried the tripod and the camera waiting for the weather to improve as we braved wind, snow and rain.

It was useful to have all the different functions that enable organization and clarity to work with. The transitions and effects on the Apple Macs are what enabled us to create a realistic creation of a music video, as we used fade to black throughout to clarify that is was the changing of scene. Using the movie function gave us the opportunity also to delete footage we didn’t want to use, and also spot areas where we could re-film.Being able to drag separate pieces of footage in particular to fill our instrumental sections of songs was extremely easy with the layout and speed of the Macs.4000020000The Apple Macs we used were amazing for the use of editing and quick uploading of videos.As we had to face ever changing weather we then had the opportunity to edit pieces of footage we had already filmed.
