1. Research and Planning Question 4 – How Did You Use Media Technologies in the Construction, Research, Planning and Evaluation Stage?

9. Adobe After Effects – We used After Effects in postproduction so that we could refine all the slightly off looking shots that needed a little editing so that we could get the professional look we wanted to achieve at the start of this project. IPhone ISO 5.0.1 – The software on my IPhone allowed me to text, call, email, note, blog, social network and research on the move so that I could keep Kate up to date for when we needed to film and blog my research if I wasn’t at a computer.

10. Ancillary Tasks When making our digipak and advert the main programme I used was Adobe Photoshop. It was very hard to produce a advert and digipak that were attractive to the customers and that could be obviously linked to the video and each other. I think I did a good job but the back of the digipak is something that annoys me because the text isn’t as clear as I want it to be but people will only see the front in a shop untill they pick it up but then they will be able to see the back fine. I would say the video, digipak and advert all correspond well together there is a clear link through them. I found using Photoshop on this task very strait forward I simply used a picture from one of our shoots and used the black and white (tint) effect for the digipak and for the advert just plain black and white. Then I chose a text I liked and chose a colour (orange, because it is eye catching) and wrote all the song titles and artist names. The next part was hard, deciding what else to have on the poster like bar code, distribution logos, OUT NOW, release date… Once I decided what needed to be on the poster I found any images of logos I needed on Google Images and saved them as images on my computer the uploaded them in to Photoshop and removed there white backgrounds and changed the colour so that they matched with the poster. I did do a few drafts on Photoshop to get the right sizing and image placement.
