Media evaluation Question 4

1. Question 4
How did you use media technologies in
the construction and research,
planning and evaluation stages?

2. Computer
By having access to a computer has enabled
me to work further and deeper in to the
course. This has given me the opportunity to
use different software’s.
This also allowed me to go onto Google
Images so that I could research found images
within my chosen genre of different release
posters and digipaks to inspire me when
creating my own.

3. Blogger
I have used blogger to post my
work, my research and planning,
giving me a chronological clear order of my
work helping me to see all my planning so
that I could be more organised when
preparing for the production of my products.
Also, this allowed me to do some research of
my own onto other peoples blogs within and
around the same genre to help me and
inspire me.

4. Prezi
Slideshare
Popplet
I used Prezi, Slideshare and Popplet in order to
display my work in a creative way so that they
stand out and are interesting to read. Also it
allows me to express my ideas in different
ways so it is easier for me to look back on and
see what I have done and what else needs to
be done.

5. Microsoft Word
I used Microsoft word to type up my
explanation work for Blogger to spell check so
that my blog looks professional on posts, also
so that I could create a table for my shooting
schedule.

6. PowerPoint
I used PowerPoint in order to
present my theories and other work so that it
is different. This work was then put onto
Slideshare to upload it to my blog.

7. &
I used YouTube and Vimeo to research
different exisiting music videos to get
inspiration for creating my own, I also YouTube
to download my song when I created my video
and then to upload my video to blogger.

8. I used survey monkey to carry out
questionnaires to my target audience for
feedback on my products and also to find the
correct target audience and their wants in a
music video so that I could target it specifically
to my target audience and also use ideas to
create a wider audience.

9. Fireworks
• This was the main piece of software I used
because it enabled me to create my ancillary
texts (digipak and poster). This was the easiest
option for me because I already had
knowledge in the software but it also
developed my knowledge so I was able to do
more things such as the lighting on my
digipak, making my products more
professional.

10. DaFont
I used Dafont to find a
better font for my artists
name to make it look more sharp and
powerful emphasising the artists reputation in
the music industry and the type of music she
has so that it is recognisable for her and the
song I have chosen.

11. Adobe Premier
Elements
This was vital when creating my video in order
to edit it together and cut certain things out
so that it fit in well, also so that I could put the
music in with the video so it links together.
