The document discusses the use of new technologies in various stages of creating a music video. In post-production, a professional camera was used to take pictures of the location and create an animatic to receive feedback. Twitter and YouTube were used in pre-production to research the target audience and see what types of videos the band had previously created. Throughout pre- and post-production, a blog was used to document progress, get feedback, and showcase work. iMovie was used to edit the video footage, add music, and apply effects like a black-and-white to color transition. SlideShare and YouTube helped present information on the blog in visual ways and allow others to provide feedback.

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

2.  In post production, this camera
was useful as we needed to use it
to take pictures of our location, so
we can comment on it to see if it
will fit in with the music video we
were creating. From that in post-
production, I was able to use the
camera for the animatic and to ask
feedback on the animatic, as the
camera was a professional camera
this was very beneficial in the
actual filming of the video as it
gave the video a professional look
which as the camera was able to
be used in HD

3.  Twitter and Youtube was key in
pre-production as it told us about
target audience and it also said
who was interested in the band.
For example on Twitter the band
has over million followers, this
shows that it was very popular
socially and if you was to search in
Arctic Monkeys on twitter you will
find a lot of tweets about them this
showed they were popular.
Youtube was popular as we were
able to look at what their videos
were like and see if we could do
something different with the video
we created. Also when we looked
at other bands in comparison
Youutbe was good as it is easily to
look up. Our final product was
posted on Youtube as well

4.  Through-out pre and post
production blogger was vital in
helping us create the music video
we wanted, we were able to look
back at previous years works and
find out what they did and how
they did. It also enabled us to work
as a group and post things
individually but it also showed us
as a group. With blogger we were
able to track our progress as a
group as we had many different
posts from planning our video,
animatic, feedback on animatic
and feedback on the final video
itself.

5.  iMovie is a programme which you
can get on the Apple Macs, it is a
easy programme to use as all you
need to do is put the SD card from
the camera into the Mac and it will
save all the footage from it to the
Mac, from that, I was able to use
the features iMovie to create the
music video, was able to put the
track in the background of the
footage was able to cut and change
to make the video look more
effective, also an effect that was on
iMovie which was used in the final
video was the black and white
effect into colour, this was used to
try get across the narrative and it
worked successfully.

6.  Slideshare is a website that allows
powerpoints to be put onto the
blogger, it is another visual way to
get something on the blog, it looks
creative and different. It can also
appeal to those who are reading
on the blog.

7.  Youtbube was important in all
three areas, with youtube we was
able to upload peoples feedbacks,
from this they are very easy to put
onto the blog for further use.
Youtube was the most important
part of planning and construction
because without it we wouldn’t of
been able to put any of our
feedback or in fact the music video
on the blog
