3. • TWITTER
• Created my own Twitter account almost two years ago, Twitter is the latest craze
in the social networking world you can update your twitter from Android phone,
Computer and Ipad which means you can stay in contact pretty much wherever
you are. I used twitter in this instance to follow the foals lead singer 'Yannis
Phillipakias' and to tweet about the foals in how they stay in contact with fans. I
also use twitter in spare time to communicate with friends and follow people of
interest.
4. • BLOG
Blogs are useful to gain new ideas and gain influence
and research from others as well as to influence and
show others what you personally are doing. I looked at
key blogs to research music videos and the guidelines
needed to create a good product
5. • PREZI
Prezi is a great new form of technology which is slightly like
Powerpoint but where you can include in your presentation
Youtube videos embedded onto the actual presentation. I
used prezi to analyse 3 different types of music video and is
a user friendly tool. I have also found prezi so useful I use it
in nearly every presentation i do.
6. • MYSPACE
A traditional platform for music bands and fans. It allows the public
to view your page and you are able to upload songs, photos and
videos onto a myspace page. Myspace has been a place where
bands have gone from unsigned, unheard of bands and become
overnight sensations launching a full music career. I used myspace
to keep up to date on any news on Foals, by checking regularly their
Myspace page.
7. • YOUTUBE
I have used YouTube for research and for inviting feedback on your own
video work. Claremont has its own TouTube channel where anyone can
view the work done by students. It is also a hugely important visual
platform and the main place to view music videos. It has been key for me
to be able to reaserch hundreds of music videos gaining inspiration and
an insight into what makes a successful music video. Bands understand
the importance of gaining notice though youtube and despite it being a
free service to the public use this as a premoter for new singles and
albulms to buy, some music videos from bands gaining millions and
millions of views on youtube.
8. • DAGADOP
Is a branch of youtube which encourages the making of playlists,
where easily and quickly the user is allowed to make playlists of
bands and songs or youtube clips they like so that they can watch
all of their favorite videos without interuption. I used Dagadop to
make a playlist of foals songs
9. • FACEBOOK,
Is a key place for bands to appeal to their demographic, Facebook is
one of the largest social networking sites in the world so offers
huge exposure for bands through this quantity of potential viewers,
Bands create competitions, photos, videos and release new
information of the band through the medium of Facebook. I ues
facebook to arrange with the charictors in my music video the
information needed for them to be in a certain place at a certain
time. I also follow Foals on Facebook
10. • SOUNDCLOUD
Is a place for musicians and bands to put up their new songs and
sounds they have greated, has generally been an place amature
musicians to put up their sounds and gain exposure but now bigger
bands are starting to use this medium and upload new songs for
the public to hear. Soundcloud is great for descovering new music,
bands and songs and was the origin of where I found the song I now
use 'Spanish Sahara - Foals Mount Kimbie Remix'. So soundcloud
was vital for me in my music video creation
11. • MOBILE PHONE
• My Blackberry is key around planning events, organising my actors
in the film and listening to the song, i have the song on my media
section of my phone which we used when filming so my main actor
could keep in time with the song using the speakers built into the
phone. This was key so that when i put my filming into the editing
stages the lip synching was right with the song length.
13. • FLICKR - Tumblr
A place to share photos of the band where
band members and fans can interact visually.
14. • EVERNOTE
A collaborative technology for note-making that
provides a platform for recording thoughts and
work in progress. Each member of the group can
then see each other's work and collaborate in the
joint platform using mobiles and computers.
15. • MOBILE PHONE
I used my mobile phone to arrange meeting
times with the people acting in my film, i used
the map application on my phone to track and
plan where i was filming and i also used my
phone as a storage device to transfer files from
my project from one computer to the other.
16. • IPAD
• My IPAD allowed me to plan by using note
taking software on the go. Also with its
functions such as weather and maps I could
effectively plan when filming or
photographing to gain the best result.
18. • DIGITAL CAMERA, TAPE RECORDER
I used a Nikon-D3100-Dslr to film my media
project, I also used this camera to take photos
for both my digipack, magazine cover and still
shots that I used in my film.
19. • Adobe Premiere Pro. I used Adobe Premiere
Pro to edit my music video it allows you to
create a sequence and also cut up sections of
editing and layer works over one an other.
• ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
I have used photoshop in every peice of print
work that I have done. For instance i used
Photoshop to cut out fonts and then layer
them on top of other background images.
