audience feedback

2. • Throughout these stages there were many media
technologies involved which helped us to conclude our final
music video. These media technologies were fundamental
to our research, planning, construction and evaluation
stages. For instance, the use of mobile phone’s, Apple Macs,
editing software's such as Final Cut Pro and Motion were
vital to making our music video.

3. Formulated Planning
This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used to formulate our note taking and drafts.
One of the ways in which we used media technology for our
research was through PowerPoint. We used PowerPoint to
write up our notes about our research. PowerPoint was a
effective software as it allowed our group to organise and
construct the slides, establishing the outcome of our
research. Also, it was a effective source for our blogs as we
used PowerPoint to post our research.
Another similar way in which we used media technology for
our research was through Microsoft Word. We used Word to
write up our notes about our research. Microsoft Word is
known for its effective paragraphing tools such as spell check,
this helped to establish the errors. We also experimented
with fonts and textures to gain research about the ancillary
texts we may have to use in the editing process.

4. Formulated Planning
This section will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used to formulate our note taking and drafts.
Outlook was a effective media technology for our
group as we often send each other research to read
and analysis upon. It was informative, efficient and
easy to function as it helped to establish the concept
of media technology.
YouTube is known for its global reach, over billions of
people around the world use it for its video use.
YouTube was extremely effective in gaining research
for our music video idea as there are many music
videos with thousands of genres to choose from. This
gave us a variety of options to choose from.
Google’s search engine is probably the most effective
search engine in the world. Billions of people use this
search engine as it is creative and extremely helpful
and easy to function. We used google to find my
research, google is known for its trusted information
hence why we used it as one of our primary sources.

5. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used to post our research.
Posting/Blogging
Haverstockmedia is our online blog that we
post our research, planning, construction
and evaluation on. This is one of the many
media technologies we used. Furthermore,
Haverstockmedia is a blog which allowed
us to interconnect with our group
members as we can also post comments
on one another’s blog to improve their
work.
The primary sources we used to upload research
to our blogs was through Prezi and PowerPoint.
Both sources are extremely effective in writing up
information whilst organising and constructing
your work to make it look creative and efficient.

6. Posting/Blogging
This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used to post our research.
Speaking of Google, Google has many other features as well
as its effective search engine. I have used google documents
to create a research form. This research form is a audience
feedback form consisting the questions about what sort of
music genre they like. This form was extremely effective as
we posted it onto our blogs and many people filled it in. From
the information we gathered, we gained a useful amount of
information to start figuring our what sort of genre and style
our music video will lead into. Posting this sort of research
onto our blogs will allow our audience to view and give
feedback.

7. Researching
This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used to research our music video ideas.
Just like YouTube, IMVDb is another site which is very similar
to YouTube. However, IMVDb was probably more effective for
our group as it gave information about the details of the
music videos. For instance, the amount of views, chart rates
and statistics. This was a effective media technology for us as
we gained a extreme amount of research about the genre we
should follow through on.
Google chrome is a reliable source for our group as this
internet source is really fast and effective, causing our
group to manage our time properly and not cause any
delays.
Wikipedia is certainly the most effective site to use for
researching. We used this site a number of times to
research a number of artists, music videos and genres to
gain ideas. This media technology is really effective as it is
trustworthy, efficient information and is the most used
encyclopaedia in the world.

8. Formulated Planning
This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used during the planning process.
We used PowerPoint for our planning as one of our media technologies.
Moreover, we used PowerPoint to write up our information about our
research. For example, we did a star construction about Ed Sheeran.
PowerPoint was a effective software as it allowed our group to organise
and construct the slides, establishing the outcome of our research. Also,
it was a effective source for our blogs as we used PowerPoint to post
our research.
Slideshare is a effective site which allowed our presentations from
PowerPoint to be uploaded onto the internet. Slideshare allowed our
group to embed our presentations to our blogs which was really
effective. Slideshare is extremely easy to function and incredibly
trustworthy, there is a lot of information on there to gain some
inspiration. This was one of our primary media technology in our
planning process.
Storyboard That is a media technology which allowed our group to get our creative side
intact. Once we decided which genre we will follow through on, we had to come up with
the narrative and performance for our music video. Storyboard That has many creative
aspects which let our group create a animation of how our music video will pan out. The
animations are really effective as they give you a range of ideas to chose from. This was a
key aspect of our planning process as it allowed our group to gather the vision we had in
our minds and come together to share our ideas.

9. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used during the planning process.
Posting/Blogging
One of the ways we used media technology
in our planning was through a Apple Mac.
The Mac allowed our group to use the photo
booth and vlog our ideas and post it onto
our blogs. This is a effective source as the
software and hardware are extremely
enhanced compared to other computers,
which gave us the option to other features
which are only exclusive to Apple.
Haverstockmedia is our online blog that we post
our research, planning, construction and
evaluation on. This is one of the many media
technologies we used. Furthermore,
Haverstockmedia is a blog which allowed us to
interconnect with our group members as we can
also post comments on one another’s blog to
improve their work. We posted our planning onto
our blogs in chronological order so that our work
shows the development during the process. This
is really effective for our group

10. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used during the planning process.
Equipment
We used a sufficient amount of equipment for the planning process. For instance we used
a Panasonic camcorder to film our lip syncing testing. We filmed this in a studio where we
can capture a variety of shots which establish the lip-syncing, such as close-up shots. This
media technology is really effective as it allowed our group to capture the detail in 720p
which is good enough for a test shot.
We used YouTube to upload our vlogs, YouTube is a global reach which will allow people
to watch our vlog and give feedback about the ideas we are speaking of. Vlogs allow us to
speak our mind and come up with ideas fluently and freely. This will help us to develop
the ideas we have.
We used a Nikon DLSR to capture photographs of our locations, costumes and props
which was really effective. This media technology was really effective because the
photographs were captured in 1080p with enhanced high quality.
Final Cut Pro is a media technology that we used for our test shots. We used this
technology to edit and construct our lip-syncing test shot and featuring a significant
amount of effects such as graphic matching, cross overs and sound cuts. These effects
gave us a glimpse of how our music video will turn out to be if we continue to use these
effects on this amazing software. Furthermore, the tools such as fading were really
effective as it helped to build a narrative for the audience. We used Final Cut Pro for our
AS film opening so it was extremely easy for us to use as we have more experience and
knowledge.

11. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used during the planning process.
Digital
Throughout the planning process we used Twitter as a digital source to
interconnect with each other. Twitter is a online social networking site
which has a significant global reach. The messaging process is extremely
easily and useful to connect with someone. As the we live in the ‘Digital
Age’ our generation has become so fond of social networking sites that it
is virtually our soul to connect with people on the internet. This was
effective for group as sometimes there aren’t ways in which we can
communicate with one another, however with Twitter our whole group
has a account so we can definitely communicate with each other.
One of the ways we communicated with each other was through out
Iphone’s. Mobile Phones is a essential feature in the ‘Digital Age’ we
live in today as everyone has one. We used the app ‘WhatsApp’ to
communicate with one another. WhatsApp allowed us to create a
group chat were we can message each other all at once. This was
really effective as we could share our ideas, opinions, photos and
videos at any point in the day. Mobile Phone is a key feature in
production nowadays as it allows people to communicate and
interact with one another with ease.

12. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have
used during the filming process.
Filming Process
We used a Tripod to capture the still, difficult shots. The
tripod gave us a range of angles and positions to capture
which was effective. Some of the shots we wanted the
capture required a still angle which was difficult. The
Tripod allowed us to capture the best shots possible.
Throughout the planning process we used a Panasonic camcorder to capture
our test shots. It had a 720p quality which was effective for the planning
process. However, for our final music video, we chose to use the Nikon DLSR
which has a 1080p high quality range. Having this enhancement would make
our music video look professional, sufficient and effective. The DLSR managed
to capture some fantastic shots which was effective. Although we had more
experience with the camcorder as we used it in AS, we decided to take the risk
and capture our footage on a DLSR where the footage will enhance our chances
of making our portfolio much better.

13. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to
communicate with one another, as well as using high tech media to conclude our final
music video.
Media and Communications
YouTube allowed our group to upload our footage. The uploading
process is easy and effective as it lets you share your footage in HD.
This form of Digimodernism allowed our group to become the
consumer of the text as we the audience share the text. This will
allow others to view and place there comments below, affecting
our work which will help us to improve our work.
We uploaded all our footage and photographs onto a Apple Mac
which has a incredible amount of storage. This was effective as it is
a extremely reliable and easy to function. We put our footage into
folders were we can easily access them. Along with uploading our
footage and photographs. The mac had software's such as Final Cut
Pro and Motion which was effective.
Additionally, once again we used mobile phones to communicate with
one another as this was a huge advantage in our production process. It
allowed us to interact with each other so that we know were to meet up
to film, our filming schedule, what to upload to our blogs, what to edit
and many more. This was a effective and primary source for our group.

14. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to edit
our music video and digipaks.
Editing
Another media technology we used for our editing process
was Adobe Photoshop CS6. This was used to edit our
digipak photographs. We found Photoshop easy to use as
we all had experience in using it before. Photoshop was
really effective as it completely formed our digipak
photographs into professional-looking digipaks. This media
technology enhanced our development process
significantly.
Motion is another effective software our group found useful to use as we have
experience in using it from AS. Motion is known for manipulating footage into
creating exciting footage such as changing the effects of the lights which we did in
AS. However, this time around we have decided to only use motion to create our
intertitles in our music video. We used a text box to write ‘We Found Love’ ‘(and the
date)’ whilst experimenting with the fonts, colours and styles to match our genre
convention. This was effective and efficient for our music video.

15. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to edit
our music video and digipaks.
Editing
Another useful media technology we used was In Design. In
Design helped us to create our digipak cover. This was a
effective software as the tools helped us to finalise our
design. It gave our group a digipak album layout which
helped us to insert our digipak photographs. This media
technology was useful and efficient for our group.
Once again, we used final cut pro to edit our final music video. We have
a significant amount of experience of using Final Cut Pro from AS so it
was easy to function. This improved our time consuming. Furthermore,
Final Cut Pro was effective because it helped to establish our narrative
with effects such as graphic matches and fading which created a
meaning in our music video. These tools and effects allowed us to
manipulate our footage into a perspective we wanted to perceive to our
audience.

16. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to do
our evaluation.
Question 1
For our first evaluation question, we used a Apple Mac due
to the intensity and speed of the computer, causing us to
manage our time management effectively. The features and
software's on the mac helped us to write up our evaluation.
Furthermore, we used PowerPoint to create a presentation for the
first question. This was effective because it allowed us to bring out
our creative side by choosing the design, fonts, colours and styles.
Moreover, we was able to construct and organise our slides which
was effective and easy to assemble.
Additionally, our group used Microsoft Word to write up our notes
before designing it onto PowerPoint. Microsoft Word allowed us to
check our grammar, spelling and errors which was really effective.
Word is easy to function and effective for note taking.

17. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to do
our evaluation.
Question 2
For our second evaluation question, we also used a Apple
Mac due to the intensity and speed of the computer,
causing us to manage our time management effectively.
The features and software's on the mac helped us to write
up our evaluation.
Slideshare is a effective site which allowed our presentations
from PowerPoint to be uploaded onto the internet.
Slideshare allowed our group to embed our presentations to
our blogs which was really effective. Slideshare is extremely
easy to function and incredibly trustworthy, there is a lot of
information on there to gain some inspiration. This was one
of our primary media technology in our evaluation stage.
Furthermore, we also used PowerPoint to create a presentation for the second question. This
was effective because it allowed us to bring out our creative side by choosing the design,
fonts, colours and styles. Moreover, we was able to construct and organise our slides which
was effective and easy to assemble.

18. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to do
our evaluation.
Question 3
For our third question, we decided to gain audience
feedback about our music video. From the information we
gathered, we then decided to vlog about the feedback we
got back and how we think we can improve it. This sort of
media technology was effective as it allowed the digital
prospects improve our music video. The effectiveness of
this was to use a different platform to present our
evaluation.
LiveType is a software known for its ancillary text platform. We used
LiveType to create our audience feedback video by writing the
question as a intertitle first. This was effective as it allows the
audience to be informative of what the video is about.
We used YouTube to upload our audience feedback and
share it to the world. The upload system is very simple and
easy to use. We also embedded this video to our blogs
which was effective.

19. This category will include all the media technologies we, as a group have used to do
our evaluation.
Question 4
Furthermore, we also used PowerPoint to create a presentation for
the last question. This was effective because it allowed us to bring
out our creative side by choosing the design, fonts, colours and
styles. Moreover, we was able to construct and organise our slides
which was effective and easy to assemble.
Additionally, our group used Microsoft Word to write up our notes
before designing it onto PowerPoint. Microsoft Word allowed us to
check our grammar, spelling and errors which was really effective.
Word is easy to function and effective for note taking.
Google chrome is a reliable source for our group as this
internet source is really fast and effective, causing our
group to manage our time properly and not cause any
delays.

20. • Overall, we believe our group done well through using
media technologies in the research, planning, construction
and evaluation stages. This is because we were able to
communicate with each other effectively, construct and
manipulate our footage and use Digimodernism to interact
with our audience on a online bases, through uploading to
YouTube and Slideshare to posting blogs on
Haverstockmedia.
