The document summarizes the various digital tools and platforms used to create a music video project. It discusses using MacBook Pros with iMovie and iPhoto for developing ideas and ensuring consistent results during the editing process. A camera from the school's media department was also used for filming and easily connecting to computers. Blogger was used to display work, SlideShare to upload presentations, YouTube to upload and get feedback on the finished video, Photoshop to edit images, and Facebook to promote the video and get feedback from friends.

2. Electronic hardware
Above are the two pieces of electronic hardware that we used to make our music video.
There is no specific reason why I wanted to use these electronic devices. Every member of
our group has a MacBook Pro . This is useful as we can use Imovie and Iphoto to develop
our ideas further. The fact that we were all using the same hardware is important because it
means that we are going to get the same results as we help out the editing process. We also
used a camera that was provided to us by the media department at school. This camera was
easy to use and very straight forward. The camera did exactly what we needed it to do . The
camera was very easily connected to the computer which is incredibly useful when we filmed
for half a lesson and then wanted to get straight on the computer and start editing. Using
these two devices was extremely helpful as we were able to use super slow motion whilst
filming .

3. Blogger
Blogger is the website that I used to
display the work that I have put into
this piece of work. This is where I
display all of the ideas that we have
had . I can display all the different
variations we had when we were
making our music video. Blogger is a
free website . When I started media
over a year ago we set up our blogger
accounts so that we could display our
work. Blogger is a very easy interface
to use. I soon became very
accustomed to how to use it and I
changed the design of my blog. I can
set up links to twitter and Facebook
which can be useful so people can
see my work . On my own personal
blogger page I was very familiar with
the interface and could now design the
blog as I so wished.

4. Slideshare.com
I have used Slidehsare to upload
my Powerpoint presentation on
evaluation. Slideshare is easy to
use and is very quick . It enables
me to link my presentation
straight to my blog so that my
teacher can see me work.
Slideshare is very clever as you
can preview my presentation in
small form on my blog instead of
having to follow a basic link.

5. Youtube.
Youtube is a website that I have used
regularly. I used this website to upload
my music video from start to finish.
Youtube is the website that all famous
music artist will use to upload new music
videos. The brilliance of Youtube is that it
is open to the whole world , this means
that everyone who wants to watch the
actual video by Kanye West may see our
video and want to watch it. This is useful
because we want people to watch our
video and then hopefully leave good
feedback. Youtube is free to use and
upload videos on and is also free to view
so we have a large target market.
Youtube is easy for my teacher to view
the work and progress that I have made
on my video.

6. iMovie.
I chose to use iMovie because it is very
simple to use. It is also free on my
Macbook. It is very easy for us to edit our
videos on this piece of software. There are
some very interesting effects and features
that iMovie offers that other editing software
doesn’t. We were able to over expose
some shots to create a hip hop look as well
as desaturate some shots to make them
black and white. With iMovie you can get
the lip sync in very good timing . This has a
very obvious advantage that your video is
going to look very professional. There are
transition effects on iMovie which are very
impressive and we were able to almost
animate the text at the start of the video
and edit it in time to the music, matching
the lyrics.

7. Photoshop
Photoshop allowed me to
manipulate the images for
our advert and digipak.
We could add effects like
colour change, adding an
iris and including a variety
of fonts. We were also
able to crop out parts of a
picture we didn’t want to
use.

8. Facebook.
Facebook is a very useful website
that can help to promote my video.
We can post our videos on our
Facebook page so that people can
view it and then we can get feedback
off our peers and friends. Having our
friends cast their opinion our video is
very useful so we can make
modifications to the video. Facebook
is very useful as it is very easy to
arrange shooting. It is also beneficial
as it can be useful if we needed to
ask for friends to get involved with
our video as extras.
