3. Research and Planning
Research and planning have made an huge impact
throughout this A2 project and have helped me in the
stages of construction and research , planning and
evaluation. When researching on music videos that
can helped inspire me on the creation of mine music
video , YouTube was very helpful. As there are
countless music video if the RnB genre to view, this
also helped when it came to planning, costume,
makeup ,mise-en-scene and locations for my music
video. In addition, I also looked at previous A2 music
videos of my chosen genre, which assisted me in
analyzing and thinking how I can present my music
video. Furthermore, Google was also helpful as there
were many example digital and posters that were
similar to that of mine. Prezi and blogger were also
useful as I can upload all my research , planning etc.
and also communicate with my class mates an people
around the world who gave constructive feedback.

4. Construction and Production
In the construction and planning of my music
video, digipak and poster new media technologies
have had a great impact. For my images and
filming I used a Canon 600D , professional studio
lighting , tripod , to make make the production
more professional. In addition, I also use and old
Iphone4 to record the home scenes as is anted it
to look more vintage . In the post production I
used FinalCutPro and Photoshop. FinalCutPro ,
allowed me to add all the footage together ,
destaruate , layer jpegs , add transitions and
export the music video using QuickTime
conversion. Photoshop, enabled me to create my
didgipak by adding images, texts and also edit the
images to make them more appealing and
professional. I also used Photoshop to create my
audience profile . Lastly, I used YouTube to share
my drafts and Video to share my final music video.

5. Evaluation
For my evaluation I have used Finalcutpro for my presentation using
a green screen of me speaking. I have also used emaze and Microsoft
PowerPoint to incorporate other media platforms. Overall, new
media technogieds have been important and much need in the
construction, planning, research and evaluation stages of my
projector.
