1. Question 4
How did you use media technologies in the
construction and research, planning and evaluation
stages.
2. Canon HD camera
• We used a Canon HD camera for filming our
music video to ensure high resolution and create
the best quality of image we could in our music
video.
• I also used a Canon HD camera for
photographing the band for my print adverts for
the same reasons.
• The quality of image makes the final results
much more aesthetically successful and creates
a more professional image.
3. Sony Vegas Pro 11
We used Sony Vegas Pro 11 to edit our music
video because it is a very technical and
professional piece of software and would allow
us to create transitions and effects. However,
this meant that understanding the software was
difficult to begin with but we soon worked out
how to use it so that it fitted our needs well.
4. Adobe Photoshop
I used Adobe Photoshop
when creating my print
products as it is the best
software for editing
photographs and I am
used to using the
software therefore I could
achieve the best results.
It has definitely worked
well using this software.
5. Slideshare
I have used Slideshare
throughout my work a lot to
display the construction and
research, planning and
evaluation. It has been a very
useful website and allows me
to upload my presentations,
which are a great way of
displaying work, to Blogger.
6. YouTube
YouTube allowed us to upload the video onto
the internet and I then embedded it into my
blog. It has been useful for this purpose.
7. Facebook
I have used Facebook for audience feedback for both
the music video and my print adverts and have
found it a very useful and efficient way of asking
my target audience specifically for their feedback
on my products.
8. Blogger
I have used Blogger throughout my work to document
construction and research, planning and evaluation stages
and I have found it very useful. However, sometimes
placing images next to each other and uploading videos or
other media forms has proven difficult which has wasted
time.
9. Ipod Touch
I have used my Ipod
Touch to access my
Facebook audience
feedback from
college. It has been
very useful and
helped me to be more
efficient and time
effective.
10. Technology In My Work
I have found that technology has been
extremely important throughout my work
and I felt that we were limited by budget
and available technology when it came to
shooting our music video. With more
advanced technology we could have made
a more professional music video which
more dramatic effects. However, I think I
fully utilised the technologies available and
made successful products with them.
