In the construction and research stages, media technologies were used extensively: - Websites like iTunes and YouTube were used to research common album cover and music video conventions from artists like Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Selena Gomez. - Photoshop tutorials on YouTube helped develop skills to design the digital pack and poster to a high standard. - Font websites provided fonts to follow conventions for names, track lists, and titles. - Google Maps helped scout suitable filming locations in London like Tower Bridge and Camden without wasting time walking around. - Final Cut Pro, which we had used before, edited transitions into the music video.

How did you use media technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation stages?

 In construction of our digi-pack we used real media technology to research into common conventional pop
album covers and by doing this we used ITunes and look at different album covers that associated with the pop
culture. Artists which inspired us was artists such as Rihanna, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez.
This front cover by Ariana Grande inspired our digi pack by the positioning of the artist in the
hbhbhbbh middle of the album cover and she is also not facing the camera when the picture is being taken
jhfjhfhfjfhfj which also gives the album mystery. Also, our poster was inspired mainly by posters that you’d
ssssssssss see in the street when advertising an upcoming pop album. We used technology in order to
ssssssssss research into all different posters in order to see the common conventional posters. Not only
ssssssssss that, but the use of YouTube helped me to develop my skills on Photoshop. This is because I watched
tutorials to help us make sure our digi pack and poster are of a high standard. Videos helped us progress with all the
tools on the software. We also used websites such as DeFont in order to download fonts to put on our digi pack and
poster in order to follow common conventional albums and posters. We used sans serif for Chloe's name and for the
track list and the CD however, we used a serif font for the album name and for a quote in the inside cover to make
the writing more italic to make it look more smooth. This look gives a great look for our album. In construction of our
poster we also used Photoshop to edit our pictures. This process allowed us to expand our knowledge using
photoshop and using youtube and using photoshop before to edit our digi-pack this helped us to know how to use it
effectively. Dddddddd without the internet this process would have been difficult.

3. Q4)
We edited our video in final cut pro. We have used final cut pro before so it was not to
difficult to edit our music video. This software was used to edit in transitions into our
music video. Research and planning for our music video consisted of looking at
common conventional music videos and writing down common shots used in these
videos. We also used technology to look back in the history of pop music videos and
looking at the evolution of the music itself and where it has come from. Locating
scouting was really important to our group as we wanted to show a variety of locations
to suggest a change in time and this process was done b scouting on google maps and
looking for places that are suitable for example Tower Bridge, Camden and Stave Hill.
Without google maps we would have had to walk around London trying to find locations
which would have been time consuming and instead of doing this using google maps
helped us to visualise a plan ahead.
