1. The student used various online technologies like YouTube, Google, Vimeo, and Survey Monkey to research pop music videos, film theory, and gather feedback from their target audience during the planning stage. 2. Digital cameras and Windows Movie Maker were used to film footage, take production stills, and create early edits during production. Final Cut Pro was the primary editing software used to construct the final music video. 3. Technologies like Pages, iPhoto, and Photoshop were utilized to design the digipak and advert through editing images and experimenting with fonts and layouts. 4. Evaluation was facilitated through social media like Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and video/audio editing software

2. How did you use Media Technologies in
Research and Planning?
FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO WE USED…
• THE INTERNET-
YouTube- I researched into pop music videos where I looked at similar styles for my
music video and researched into what made a pop music video.
Google- This was used to look into Goodwin’s theory which helped planning what a
conventional music video should always have.
Vimeo- For research I downloaded Music videos which had al five aspects of Goodwin's
analysis so I could refer back to them visually during planning.
Casting Call Pro- This helped my research and planning into my artist Carmel Solo. I also
kept in contact with the cast on here whilst planning dates and times.
Survey Monkey- A questionnaire was made and linked to my target audience through
Facebook.
• DIGITAL CAMERA-
This helped with the production schedule as I took
pictures of location and researched into difficult shots.
• WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER-
Before the final edit I planned what I wanted the music video
to look like with practise shots and edited together a video
exampling Goodwin’s analysis Theory.

the Construction of the Music Video?
After Filming with a DIGITAL CAMERA the Once on FINAL CUT PRO the videos were put onto the
footage was uploaded onto FINAL CUT PRO timeline where with tools were cut in time with the
by importing from File onto the time line. music. To help keep to the beat we used markers
which make the cuts go in time to the beat.
We also used FINAL CUT PRO to
help put the videos together with
transitions such as the cross
dissolve between the girl alone in
her room and her in the room with
her boyfriend

5. To show the difference between memory
and reality I increased the brightness and
contrast on all the memory scenes. In
comparison reality is shown in a cold
effect . This symbolises how happy she is
in the memories and what her life is like
without him, cold and dull like the effect.
This shot is firstly shown in a cold effect and
later used in a warm effect to show how
reality and memory are coming together, she
is happier. To show this I increased the shot’s
temperature.
Final cut pro was used for all of the
construction of the music video where with
the crop tools I was able to make different
shots out of the same shot by zooming in and
cropping different sections.

6. After filming I put together the footage to see what worked and what didn’t on WINDOWS MOVIE
MAKER. Being familiar with this technology I easily used the SPLIT, ROTATE and TRIM tools to
construct an early edit of my MUSIC VIDEO.
This technology was easy to use where I had to import the footage and music onto the time like ready to
construct the opening to my music video. This gave me an early idea on how I wanted to construct the final
music video.
Here I faded in and
out the music I applied bright effects To import music I
To add videos pressed ‘add music’
in visual effects

7. How did you use Media Technologies in
the construction of the Digipak and Advert?
In both ancillary tasks a lot of the same technology was used.
PAGES-
The digipak and advert were put together on pages where they were
proportioned to a digipak and add size.
IPHOTO-
here images were given some warmth by increasing the temperature of the
picture whilst also increasing the brightness and contrast.
PHOTOSHOP-
Here effects done by using the brush tools and fade
WORD-
the early drafts and final designs were pasted into word then saved as
images ready to post onto the media blog.

9. In terms of font I
experimented on WORD
and PAGES. I wanted a
font that looked like
natural writing (swirly, girly
and light) Here are my
ideas.

My digipak had to meet the same
criteria of a conventional digipak. I
used media technology (Internet) to
get the information on the size of a
digipak and what is needed.

10. In PHOTOSHOP I then used a
brush tool to paint the

On Windows live photo gallery
I increased the brightness and

it in PHOTOSHOP where her

11. How did you use Media Technologies ?
In PAGES I started off with a shape
which I filled in blue. After posting Using GOOGLE I got this clipart of

I also used GOOGLE to get the
Facebook and twitter icons. In terms of
my logo I used a circle shape in WORD
where I used the free tool to make a C
and A to put inside the circle. This is on
both digipak and advert

12. How did you use Media Technologies
in the Evaluating Stages?

13. To keep my progress in construction
recorded I posted onto TWITTER and
the MEDIA BLOG. In the final stages I
also got my feedback off of FACEBOOK.
To create the answers to my
evaluation I used both Microsoft
and Windows PowerPoint.
During my audience feedback I
recorded two people on my
IPHONE and used GARAGE
band to edit it. This was then put
onto SOUNDCLOUD.
With my webcam I filmed myself talking about my
audience feedback and what I learnt. This was then
edited on windows movie maker and posted onto
YouTube then linked to my media blog.
