The document discusses the various technologies used over the course of a year-long project. These included cameras, computers, editing software, and online platforms. The HDV camera, tripod, iMac, Photoshop, Final Cut Express, PowerPoint, and YouTube were used at different stages for filming, editing, planning, and evaluating the project, which involved producing a music video. Other technologies like the iPhone, digital camera, and Blackberry Playbook also supported the project in areas like taking photos and playing music.

2.  Over the course of the year, I have used many new
technologies in order to produce high quality work. In
this slide share I will go through all the technologies
used and why they were used, whether they were for
the research, planning or evaluation stages of the
course.

3.  HDV Camera
 Tripod
 IMac
 Adobe Photoshop
 Final cut express
 Microsoft Powerpoint
 Slideshare
 Prezi
 Glogster
 IPhone
 Digital camera
 Blogger
 Youtube
 Playbook

4.  For our course we were provided with a HDV camera to
record all our footage. This piece of technology was
useful as the recordings were saved on tapes which
could then be put onto the IMac using a cable/lead.
 The camera also allowed us to put images into
focus, which helped us during the filming of our music
video as we did not have to spend time trying to get
the video in focus.
 Also the quality of the video was increased compared
to our AS video when uploaded onto youtube.

5.  The tripod was a vital piece of equipment used in the
production of our music video.
 It helped us to produce steady footage, as it kept the
HDV camera on stand. It also helped to create PAN
shots as the handle of the tripod allowed us to easily
move around.

6.  The imac was used during all the stages of the
process. It was used in the construction of the
research process as we used safari (internet) to
look into what the conventions of an Rnb music
video would be. Also used it to access Youtube
and watch video’s to get ideas from.
 It was also used during the planning stages of the
project, as I used the programmeMicrosoft Word
to produce documents such as the treatment
sheet etc.
 Finally it was also used for the evaluation stages
as I used programmes such as Prezi to evaluate
the music video. In order to do this the Imac was
needed.
 In conclusion the Imap played a huge part in the
whole project as it was the base of my project,
allowing me to produce all the documents to help
me with the music video, as well as produce the
music video itself.

7.  Adobe Photoshop was used
during the production of the
digipak, album cover and
magazine advert.
 It was useful as it had many
transitions which I used to
add effects onto my images. It
allowed me to also add effects
on images.
 Here is the magazine advert
produced using Photoshop

8.  Final cut express was used to edit all videos used in the
project.
 Firstly it was used to edit the actual music video. It was
useful as it allowed us to add in transitions as well
effects.
 It also allowed to crop the footage we took with the
HDV camera, and allowed us to capture the footage
which we wished to use.

9.  This was used to produce
power points such as the
costumes being used in the
music video. It allowed us to
add in images as well as talk
about various things.
 The power point was needed as
it was the only way to create
slide shares.
 This would be a great example
as power point was used in
order to create this slide share.

10.  These were both used during the evaluation process of
the project, as I used it to create presentations with all
the information gained for evaluating.

11.  The Iphone was used whilst
filming the actual music
video. We used it to take
pictures, which were then
used to produce the
digipak, album cover and
magazine adverts.
 The Iphone took pictures
with instagram which
automatically edited the
images improving the
quality of all the pictures.

12.  The digital camera was given access to us by the media
department. It was used to take pictures of the
storyboard, which was then made into an animatic.

13.  Blogger has allowed me to upload all my work onto. I
have used it to get through to the examiners so that
they will know what has been done throughout the
project. On Blogger will be all my power
points, images, video’s etc. Summing up the whole
project.

14.  Youtube was used during the research of my project, as
I used it to view videos and get ideas from them.
 It was also used to upload the videos made by my
group. This includes the Preliminary task, Animatic
and finally the actual music video.

15.  The blackberry playbook was used during the filming of the
project.
 When we were filming the music video, we needed the track to
help the actor with his lip syncing.
 Therefore we felt it would be effective if the playbook was used as
the speakers were good, and loud.

16.  In conclusion we have used many new technologies
throughout the process of out project.
 They have been used in the research, planning and
finally the evaluation of the process.
 The technologies have been very useful, they have
guided us, inspired us, allowed us to express our
thoughts through creation, ensured all our work was in
good standard.
