Music video question 4
1. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? After deciding what kind of style I wanted for my music video , I used the basis of certain music video’s such as J magic and Wickaman to use conventions and similar effects, so I had an structured frame of what was to become my music video. I followed the same conventions, such as the white masks and the use of an implied narrative to demonstrate the genre and styling of the music video. New Media technologies allow a music video to advertise, promote, and market your product. Using You Tube, I instantly recognised the forms and conventions needed and also use tutorials to help design. YouTube also allowed me to research and form a basic structure for my idea’s so that I could collect and identify the best methods for my product. Social networking sites also played a critical component in the evaluation stages. It helped me gain a understanding of what my audience were into, music and video wise. This helped us communicate with my target audience to obtain feedback which was compulsory in understanding what why the positive and negative parts of my music video. For example, face book allowed me to recite an overall view on what my friends favourite genre of music was, and also suggested what there favourite music video’s were. Face book and you tube allowed me to post my music video, and allowed me to collect responses and keep up to date, with my analysed results.

4. Brushes I used constantly throughout the design of my digi pack. I discovered loads of other new brush on p.s brushes.com. I found plenty of new designs that would match my genre, making it look more electro, drum and bass.
5. Used effects such as ghosting and blurring to get a rave/ club effect and to make our video seem more ‘ trippy’.
6. Selected the footage and input the so that the visuals matched the beat showing continuity.
