3. RESEARCH
• I first started my research by looking into different types of genre’s. For this I mainly
just used the internet and mainly Wikipedia for information and the codes and
conventions on all these different genres. When I chose my genre, pop, I then
mainly used Youtube to research into similar artists. I did this on the apple mac.
• Google was a main search engine I used as I needed it to research into my artist
Florrie, her songs, the lyrics for Call of the Wild, pictures of Florrie and similar
artists, images of other digipaks and magazine ads to help my with my ancillary
tasks ect.
• I used Twitter to ask Florrie if I was able to use her song for my music video. I also
used Twitter and Facebook to look into more information on my artist and to see
how she represents herself.
4. BLOGGER.COM
I put all of my research onto my blog on blogger.com. This was
a good website to use to present our work as it kept
everything organised and was easy to location information you
have already put on there.
We used the blogger all the way through from the start of
introducing new genre, to the very end of my evaluation.
Blogger was easy to import picture and videos, either from my
own files or from the internet and Youtube. I meant we were
able to show on our blog videos and pictures that have helped
us with our research.
Blogger is used like a diary, to constantly write down steps we
did and things we were thinking of doing and going to do.
5. For the construction stage, the mac was the
main thing I used. It operated all programs I
used such as the HD camera that I used to film
my whole music video. After filming we’d DURING MY
upload our film to in imac, onto Final Cut Pro.
Final Cut Pro is where I did all the editing and
CONSTRUCTION
put all of my video together. Once the OF MY MUSIC
footage was uploaded to this program, I VIDEO I USED
would then drag it into my timeline to put the TECHNOLOGIES
right footage in the right place according to
the song and then edited the footage to the
SUCH AS..
music so that everything fitted right, such as
the miming matched.
I used Adobe Photoshop for the construction on my ancillary tasks. This was
the best way to upload my photos quickly and be able to edit them and
make changes easily to produce the best digipak and magazine ad I could.
7. EVALUATION
I used the HD camera to film my audience feedback to present visual and audio
answers and I also used the camera to record my voice for audio presentation. I was
then able to upload this onto the Mac and onto Final Cut Pro. I then uploaded this to
Youtube so I was able to put the video clip onto Blogger for the questions to be
presented in a visual way.
8. EVALUATION
I used Prezi as a way to present one of my questions in a different way to my others
and it looks more interesting than just writing an answer out.
I also used Powerpoint to present another question in a visual way and to be able to
upload it onto blogger I converted it into Slideshare.
I also used survey monkey to produce a survey to send out to a group of people. It was
simple to use and you are able to produce any type of question and layout you’d like.
This made it easy for me to be able to produce all different types of questions. It was
also easy for other people to fill out and quick so I was able to receive the results I
needed quickly.
