For their music video project, the student used various new media technologies at each stage. In the research stage, they used YouTube to analyze other music videos, Google to find songs, and a camera to film interviews. For planning, they created storyboards on YouTube and treatments using Prezi. Filming used a Canon camera and editing was done in Final Cut Express. Audience feedback was gathered through Wall Wisher. The finished video was uploaded to YouTube and blogs for evaluation, which was presented using Prezi, PowerPoint, and Glogster. Blogger was used throughout to document the process.

1. How did you use new media
technologies in the research,
construction, planning and evaluation
stages for music video?

3. For the research stage of our music video we used different forms of media to
collect our information, such as :
YouTube- We used this to watch other music video’s and analyse what forms
and conventions they use and howwe can use them for our music video.
We used the internet and Google to find out different music songs that we could
use for our music video. Websites like unsigned.com
We also used a Canon MD 10 hd Camera to film are vox pops and used final cut
express to edit it and titles to find out what type of music video people like to
help us when crediting our music, video.
We also used wall wisher to find out what people though of the song we pick
and what the actor and actress should where and where it should been filmed.

4.  We used the IMac to research music
videos and songs to pick the song we
was going to use for are video.
 We used websites like:
www.google.co.uk
 www.youtube.co.uk
 www.onetruemedia.com.
 We used this to research into artist
and to write it up on my blog using
www.blogger.co.uk

5.  We also used you tube when researching music video and up
loading are preliminary task/and our music video then we then
transferred it onto our blogs. We also used you tube to analyse
music video from past students work and we learnt a lot about
what song to do and what not to do. This is what we put our
music video onto so other people can see and see if they liked it
and by doing this we changed it and made it better as I've
shown in the next slide.

7. For the planning stage of my music video we had to research into the artist
we was going to do, and what songs we were going to use , for the video.
We used YouTube, Google, unsigned.com, we also used different forms to
do risk assessments and plan the music video and how we would create
other elements of the video.
This is one of the forms we had
to do during the planning stage
of the music video to find out
what problems we might
encounter and , how we would
fi them or prevent them, from
happening.

8. For the planning stage of music video we had to use a story board to create our
animatic using YouTube so we would no the different stages of the video and
what the music video, would be about. Below is the story board stages and
image of the YouTube animatic which we used to upload it onto after editing it
and adding titles on to it from final cut express.

9. We also had do create a treatment which we
used Prezi to do which is a presentation site
which shows the step by step method of what
costumes we will use , where the setting will be
and what actors we will use. Below are just
some of the images from my treatment.

10. Another form of
planning we had to use
is a contingency plan
and we used blogger to
upload our contingency
plan on to.

12.  When we was filming our
music video we used a Canon
HDV 1080 camera and a
tripod to capture all the
filming that we done on
different days. We had our
own tape so we could keep all
the filming on.

13.  We used final cut express to add
lyrics, add dissolves, and titles
to create are music video, here is
the editing of video and the
video itself are it was finished.

14. For the construction on the
video we used Bluetooth and
our mobile phone to upload
images that we took for
locations so we could use
them when trying to create the
music video and have an idea
of what it would look like. We
also used phones and
Bluetooth to send photos.

15. To construct our digi-pak and
magazine advert we used,
Photoshop and pic monkey. We
edited the contrast, font and
colour of both products to create
the country/modern look we was
going for to combine with the
music video.

16.  We used wall wisher as a new technology
which we was told about this year, to
find out audience feedback instead of
using survey monkey like last year. Wall
wisher let us right the questions we
wanted to ask which were:
 Do you like the song?
 3 words you associate with song?
 What colour do you associate with the
song?
 What do you think the song is about?
 Describe the person you think is singing
the song?
 What scene/location would you expect to
see if you are watching the music video
of this song?
 We got different feed back about the song
and what the actor and actress should be
wearing and where the music video
should be, set and what colours should be
used.

17.  Final we used YouTube to
upload our music video on the
internet and we then embedded
it on our blogs.

19.  For my evaluation I had to
use a verity of, different
media technology such as,
 Prezi
 PowerPoint/ slide share
 Glogster
 Popplet
 Word
 I also had to use blogger to
upload my evaluation on
and all my post throughout
the year about my music
video project.

20.  For my evaluation I used
Prezi for question 3 to show
the step by step process of
how we got the right ideas
for the video and target
audience we should aim the
video at. It also shows all the
ways in which we got
audience feedback, and how
we listened to what they said
to create the finished,
product. Prezi is a new way
to create presentation, of all
the different stages of
planning my music video
and research for it to create
the end product.

21.  I used power point to show
all, the different technologies I
used when created
evaluation, research, planning
and construction for the music
video. I then embedded it in to
slide share which is a
PowerPoint presentation side
where you can upload
presentations.

22. Blogger was the website which we used to post everything
that we have learnt in research, planning, construction and
evaluation. I used Blogger as a diary and wrote all the things
we done to show what I've learned. Every time we learnt
something new we had to update it on to our blogs to show
the exam the process of contraction our thriller, to improve
on our grades wadded photos, films etc. to show different
types of technology. We also analysed
video, music, lyrics, mise en scene, characters, setting and
the audience to and wrote this on our blogs to make it more
interesting. This is a screen shot of my blog this is what I
used to chart my progress of my music video coursework.
Here are some screen crabs from my blog showing
some of the post I've done bout my music video
and other music video analyses.

23. This is a screen grab of
Glogster which is a new
media technology that
we learned about this
year, when constructing
our music video, I used
this to show how we
challenge, conformed
and developed the
music video with
existing music video.

24. A new piece of
technology that I
used as part of my
evaluation was
Popplet, this is where
I create a spider
diagram of how my
music video,
magazine advert and
digi-pak all like
together.

26.  That is all of the media technology’s I have been
taught how to use over this year of the course and
I have gained new skills from using them.
