Evaluation Question 4
JORDAN WALTERS
Research
 I used YouTube for researching the different types of music videos and for
finding videos made by other students and for finding examples of a good
music video
 Google – This was used everyday for researching artists and songs that
aren’t signed or owned by a record label of any sort. I also used for
general things and used it to find websites that will assist making the video
 Blogger, Popplet, Prezi, Power point – These websites and software were
used for making diagrams and presentations of my word so it can easily be
seen by the people marking my work and my teachers.
Research
 I Macs and PCs – These pieces of Hardware were used for me to access
the internet and software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Safari,
Google chrome, Power point, Microsoft Word etc.
 The internet – The internet was used so I could access information and for
me to go on websites such as blogger, Dafont and Prezi. These websites
helped me complete media course work and helped me research music
video into depth
 We used Digital cameras to record and capture footage of our music
video then uploaded them to the iMac computers and edited the
footage onto Premiere Pro.
 Still cameras were used to capture pictures of the various instruments we
used in our music video and to take pictures of the members of the band
for our digipak and magazine advert.
 Tripods were used to hold the digital cameras and to keep them steady
when filming in one spot.

Construction
 Mobile phones were used to take quick pictures as well as the still camera.
Our personal mobile phones were used to contact each member of the
group with ease and for planning when to meet up and film.
 Websites: Dafont was for using unique texts and fonts to make our
magazine advert and digipak better. YouTube was used to upload the
actual final piece of our finished music video.
 Photoshop- This was use to manipulate and edit images to go on our
magazine advert and digipak. This was also used for practising editing
album art.
Evaluation
 Blogger was used for evaluation purposes as well as I needed to post blogs
to do with the Evaluation questions for my teachers to mark and I needed
blogger so I could easily update pieces of coursework.
 I used Prezi for evaluation question 1 and Popplet for evaluation 2
 Evaluation question 1 I made a prezi presentation of what key conventons
were in our music video
 For evaluation question 2 I used a popplet presentation that consisted of
small boxes of information linking to other boxes and answered questions
on our music video
Evaluation
 Microsoft Power Point was used for my 4th evaluation question which was
about the different technologies used for our A2 media coursework, this
Power point presentation
 Google was used yet again but for finding sites to construct my evaluation
questions. I also used images from Google to give examples in my
evaluation questions.
Planning
 For the planning part of my course work, I mainly used YouTube, Google
and Blogger
 YouTube was used for finding out which videos compared to ours. We
found out “This is an Emergency” by the pigeon detectives was similar to
our final piece and spoke about it in our blogs
 Google was used to find album art similar to our digipak and we found
album art by artists such as No Doubt, The Black Eyed Peas and Blur.
