The document discusses the use of new media technologies in the production of a music video project. Various software like Adobe Premiere Pro, YouTube, and Blogger were used for editing, sharing, and organizing the project files. Hardware like video cameras, tripods, and smartphones were employed to capture footage and audience feedback. The planning process involved online research of other music videos. The new media tools simplified tasks and allowed for a professional final product.

1. HOW DID YOU USE
NEW MEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES IN
THE
CONSTRUCTION
AND RESEARCH,
PLANNING AND
EVALUATION
STAGES?

2. To create our production I learned a variety of
skills through various software and equipment,
new media has made it easier to create my
project as it simplifies task and which good use
and knowledge of the software it allows for a
professional look. Using a variety of software and
hardware has increased my knowledge and has
encouraged me to learn further to insure I can
create a high quality product to meet the brief.

3. RESEARCH AND PLANNING
 To create our music video, initial research had to be included
which included using the internet to use youtube to find out about
other music videos, conventions they use and how we would use
similar conventions in our own music video. Video cameras were
used for the vox pox which were a group of people discussing
there views and ideas in a video. Adobe premeire was used to
edit this vox pox then upload to youtube and then put on our
blogs.

5. VIDEO CAMERA
 To make our music video we had to use a
video camera to capture all the footage,
this was a frustrating experience as it
used tapes and if not used properly the
files that had been recorded would be
wiped instantly, also had to make sure we
recorded at the right time of day to ensure
that there was enough lighting so that the
video was shot at a high quality which the
audience would be able to view at a high
quality.

6. YOUTUBE
 Youtube allowed us to post our videos
online which allows others to view our
content, this was used for our music
video and also the vox pox which we
created at the planning stage of our
production, also it was used to upload
our final video along with all our
preliminary work

7. TRIPOD
 The tripod was a useful tool in
creating a high quality professional
music video as we did not want
the camera to move about
everywhere, this was an essential
tool as without it, our video would
look very shaky and we have
some evidence of that on my blog
of a camera with and without a
tripod and it makes a big
difference as adjustments could
be made, panning shots were
easy to create.

8. CAMERA
 To create our ancillary texts we
needed a high quality camera
to capture high resolution
images which thus creating a
more professional media
product. The cameras were
also used to take pictures of
each other working to prove
our roles within the group.

9. IPHONE
 My iphone was used to
capture audience
feedback of my media
product, also the sound
cloud app allowed me
to record and upload
straight to sound cloud
and then on to my blog.

10. BLOGGER
 To a certain extent
blogger was the most
important tool of our
production as it held all
our files and all our
uploads in an organised
manner, with an easy
user interface. It allowed
everyone in the group to
track everyone's
progress, also with
displaying everyone's
work

11. SLIDESHARE
 Slideshare allowed us to
share our work in
presentation form to the
website which then could be
encoded on to our blog,
where our powerepoint
presentations get displayed.
This was a great tool as it
was a quick and easy service
to use.

12. ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
 We used this software to edit
our music video, it was a fairly
easy software to pick up and to
learn, the software allowed us
to create a high quality
professional music video and
also it allowed us to use such
video transitions such as push
and cross dissolve as they
were used quite frequently
within our music video.

13. BANDICAM
 This software was used to
screen record my laptop while
I was editing to show the
changes and what I was doing
as an individual in my group.
 Evidence is shown below this
post

14. MICROSOFT OFFICE
 I used Microsoft office to type up all
my workings, from research and
planning to evaluation, then used
PowerPoint to create a clear and
coherent presentation.
 To write up lyrics of the song and to
write up the detail
 To write up my evaluation
