The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of a coursework project. A Canon D600 video camera was used to record high quality footage, which was then transferred to a computer via card readers. Google Blogger was used to document the project online with tags and embedded links. Social media allowed partners to communicate and plan meetings. The internet provided research resources, inspiration from past work, and access to sites like YouTube and Blogger. Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro were used for image and video editing, with Photoshop used to design packaging and ads, and Premiere Pro to construct music videos with fast cuts and filters.

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

2. Brand new state if
the art video
cameras.
We used a Cannon D600 to record
our video and to keep our recording
still we would use a tripod.
Afterwards, we transfer our footage
to the computer via the card readers.
The cameras were useful in our
production because it was light. This
meant that we could carry our
camera to every location because of
how small and easy it was to fit into
our bags. Due to technological
convergence we were able to collect
high quality footage from a smaller
sized camera.

3. Google blogger.
We used google blogger. This is an online blog
which we use to document all stages of our
coursework. In order to make it look easy to
use, we used tags to split our coursework up
into sections. Also, blogger has allowed me to
embed links from different sites, allowing my
posts to be visually interesting.

4. Websites
These are all the websites I
have used in my duration of
my coursework. This was so
my work was visually
appealing.

5. Social media
I was able to keep in touch with my
partner via social media. This allowed
us to respond to our messages
easier, as well as it being a source of
where we planned our meet ups with
the band members we were using.

6. Internet
Due to technological convergence, it has
become easier for us to use the internet to
get the information we needed to do our
tasks especially the research task. Also,
because of the internet being available to us
we had the ability to gain ideas or support
from previous student work. Also, thanks to
the internet it allowed us to have access to
sites such as, YouTube and Blogger, which
played a huge role in our work.

7. Photoshop & Video
Editing.
Photoshop played a big role when we were
creating our digipak and magazine ad. This
program allowed us to use a series of
filters. As well as making our product look
professional. It also gave us the ability to
experiment and try new things in
Photoshop. As well as making our product
look professional.
We used adobe premier Pro to
successfully construct our music video. In
premier pro, we used a lot of fast paced
cuts so it fit well in with our chosen genre.
Also, after finding out the right filters to use
or for how long should a certain part of the
video be. In addition to this, the sequence
markers have helped us organise our
work. After we have cut our footage into
the correct sequence, we had to export our
video onto YouTube.
