1. Evaluation : Question four : How did you use media technologies in the research, planning, construction and conclusion?

2. Research During our research one of our first tasks were to find music for our video and then work around that song in order to match the music video to the chosen song. We used the website, unsignedacts.com where we were allowed to search different genres of music of which we found a song by Aida Band. Other stages of research were looking at different music videos to pick up some ideas and styles.

3. Planning My role in the group was planning everyone which was going to be in the video and to create a story if the music video was going to carry one. After picking the song I decided that because it was slow and had lyrics about love that I should plan the music video around love and create a story for it. The video wasnt to be up beat bright or colourful and I knew this from looking at the other music videos that are in the industry today.

4. Construction Within this stage we created (filmed) the video as well as editing the footage to make the final version. We filmed the video using a HD video camera, and to take still images we used a normal digital camera. To edit the footage we once again used final-cut express which is found on the apple IMac's. To get the lip synching perfect we had the song playing during filming which was mainly played on Hayleysipod.

5. Conclusion We used a number of different technologies to complete and create our product: unsigned - to find our piece of music Gmail - to contact the artist to get permission and the music/lyrics Survey monkey - to create and get results from the survey Facebook - used to distribute the surveys Apple IMac's - used for research, planing and construction Ipod - used to play music Camera (video and still) - for the construction stage
