New media technologies used included YouTube for uploading videos, tutorials on software, and research on artists. Hotmail was used for sharing ideas, videos, files and images. Blogger was used to present the whole project. Unsigned.com was used to find music. Slideshare embedded PowerPoint slides. DivShare uploaded and shared songs. Adobe Premier edited videos with effects. Photoshop edited images with tools like crop and brightness. Microsoft Excel analyzed research data. PowerPoint and Word created and edited presentations and documents. A digital camera took photos and recorded stop motion. A video camera recorded footage. A tripod stabilized the camera.

1. Question 4:How did you use new media
technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?

2. For my research, planning and evaluation stages I used the
YouTube website. Evidence is shown when I used my voxpox, in
order for me to upload it into my blog I first had to upload it to you
tube and then get the embedded quote and paste it to blogger so
that the website could compose the video. Furthermore, I also
used the website if I did not know how to work with the Adobe
Premier or Photoshop program. Through youtube I was able to
watch online tutorials and find out how to work with these
program's. In addition, youtube has helped me a lot with my artist
through the year analysis ofJustin Bieber as I had to get the
embedded quotes from his music videos and paste it into my blog.
Through hotmail we were able to share our
ideas when being apart. In addition, it allowed
us to share videos/files/images. We also used
hotmail to contact the singers of the song
‘Tonight I let you go’ and ask whether they
allowed us to download there song and make a
music video for it.

3. Blogger was needed to present our whole project. All work
we had to do i.e reach/planning/ancillary tasks/music video
and evaluation all needed to be presented on this website
We used unsigned.com in order to find our
music video song. This is a website of
artists putting their songs online .
Slideshare allowed me to embed my Power
Point slides onto my blog
DivShare allowed me to upload our song ‘Tonight I let you
Go’ and get the embedded quote to share it on my blog

4. This program helped me with getting our music
video clip done.
- Helped us to apply special effect to our music
video clip i.e black an white effect/zoom in and
out/ make clips more bright
- Delete footage that we thought was not useful
-Use slow motion/fast forward when needed
This program allowed me to get my ancillary tasks
done. I was able to use the following tools in order
to make my work look professional:
-Crop tool: allowed me to delete unwanted parts
- magnetic lasso tool; allowed me to cut around
images
-Zoom in/out; zoom images in and out
- Stroke; line out typography to make the font stand
out
-Brightness; allowed me to increase/decrease levels
of brightness in an image
-Hue saturation: allowed me to change the levels of
hue/saturation/lighting

5. I used Microsoft Edexel for my audience
research and analysis as I had to put my
records from my questionnaire into graphs/pie
charts.
Furthermore, I also used Microsoft PowerPoint
for my research and planning tasks. The
information I used to find I putted into
PowerPoint slides to keep everything together.
Also used this program for my evaluation as I
had to justify why we did certain actions.
Overall, I found this program very useful as it
was an easy way to present my work.
Microsoft word enabled me to correct my
grammar/spelling mistakes when analysing
music videos/album front/back covers/music
magazines and inlays. I also used this program
to type up my production logs and keep safe
the print screen shoots for evidence of the
work I had done.

6. We used digital camera to make the photos for our ancillary tasks.
Also we used it for our stop motion effect (taking pictures
Of a piece of paper which said ‘I love Amy’’ and which was later on
scrunched up)
We used a video camera to record our footage
We used a tripod to keep the camera still when needed. This
made our music video look more professional

7. We used Macbook Pro and Desktop Apple Mac
to keep in touch with each other when not
being together as a group. Also, all the
Programs I used such as Photoshop, Microsoft
word/Edexel/PowerPoint were all downloaded
on this laptop
I used my USB throughout the project
to make sure all work we had done
was saved correctly.
