Media evaluation
                    Question Four

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




                By Charlie Gilbert
Internet / Blogger
• In the production stage of our video we have used various
  technologies to help us complete the work and have discovered
  benefits. But also some disadvantages.

• One major technology used was the internet, especially Blogger where
  we uploaded our plans and work, this helps us to organise the work
  better and see everything we need in one place, however a drawback
  of this is sometimes the site may not be working and files may corrupt.
Wordle/Slideshare/Scibd
• We also used Wordle to organise and present an attractive list of
  locations to film. The locations were placed in various
  colours, the advantage of this is it makes a simple list look much
  better.

• Scibd was also useful to upload word documents onto the blog
  for our final evaluation, it made the documents look more
  presentable and professional.
•    Dafont was also used to download some fonts for our digipak, we
    downloaded these of the website and then used Photoshop to complete
    the album.

• Slideshare was also useful to do power points or to analyse the digipaks or
  adverts and to easily view them in one click. Another web site we used
  was YouTube to research and get ideas from other music videos, this
  proved useful as we could view many different types of videos.
Mobile Phones/Digital Cameras
• What also proved useful was a mobile phone, we used a mobile to play
  the song we was doing so the actor cold lip sing and emotionally connect
  to the song better, this proved a useful tool. We also downloaded a tube
  map for a mobile so we could plan our journey on the go.

• The digital stills camera was also handy to have, we used this to take
  photos for the blog and for the digipak and produced a better quality
  photo, having a digital camera is useful as you can make sure you have the
  right shot straight away as you can view it on a screen.
Editing/Photoshop

• Without the digital editing and final cut it would have been
  difficult to produce a good video, this proved useful as we could
  cut and change clips and add effects to our video.

• Photoshop was helpful into creating our digipak, and proved
  easy to use, we could use different layers to create a unique
  image using various forms of colouring.

• A digital audio recorder (dictaphone) came in useful when we
  did our directors commentary, we just recorded what we were
  saying and simply uploaded it.
Photoshop
• Photoshop was extremely useful to us whilst making the
  digipak, we found it fairly easy to use and the outcome looks
  professional. The image on the right illustrates the amount of
  layers we placed on the picture to receive the final outcome.
Final Cut Express
•   With Final Cut Express we could add effects and make the video look
    professional. With such features on Final Cut we decided to make use of
    them, and to improve the appearance of the video. Below are some images of
    the colour correction and cross dissolves used in our video.
Cinematography
• To film the music video we used the Sony HD video cameras that our
  school supplied.

•    We were familiar with the camera as we have used them in previous
    projects, however we discovered some new tricks such as opening the lens
    to have a blurred focus effect, however a disadvantage of these was that
    the battery didn’t last long.
Apple Macs
• To edit the music video and to do our work, we used a
  Apple Imac, overall they were reliable for us and
  allowed us to do all our work on them such as updating
  the blogs and doing the digipak.
