The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of a project involving research, planning, construction, and evaluation of a music video. In the research stage, the person used Prezi to present ideas and information, Voki to create an animated example audience member, and Survey Monkey to collect audience feedback. During planning, Prezi and PowerPoint were used to present features, and Adobe Premier Pro was used for video editing trials uploaded to YouTube. For construction, a DSLR camera was used to film high quality footage and Photoshop was used to create a digipack and poster. Evaluation involved using Prezi, Windows Movie Maker, PowerPoint and video to present the work and collect audience feedback.

1. How did you use media technologies
in the
Research, Planning, Construction
and Evaluation Stages?

2. Research
Throughout my Research element I deemed it important to use different technologies to present
my work in a interesting and make it aesthetically pleasing for my audience. One of my
presentation methods was PREZI, this allowed me present my ideas and information as a journey
and incorporate images, videos as well as textual information in a way that was easy to show the
development of my research throughout the stages. Another technological programme was VOKI.
I used Voki to give a cartoon animation of a prime example of my Target Audience. This software
has allowed me to create my perfect audience for my music video that was based upon my
research and also audience feedback. To gain accurate audience feedback I used an online
software SURVEY MONKEY. Survey Monkey enabled me to create an Online Survey and post on
Facebook and send to personalised email addresses to gain feedback on the specific questions
that I have asked in the survey. And finally BLENDSPACE enabled me to display my research
findings in a mood board style I used this for my inspiration where I mood boarded videos and
images that I gained my inspiration from.

3. Planning
Similar to the Research stage I used some of the earlier technologies such as
PREZI and POWERPOINT to present my planning features. During the planning
process I did trials in Abobe Premier Pro which is the editing software that I
used to edit together my final video. After editing my initial cut and also my
final cut/version I used YOUTUBE to upload my work so that others, especially
my target audience can view this online and I can also gain feedback.

4. CONSTRUCTION
For the filming of my music video I believed that they equipment was the most
important element for the overall image of my music video and therefore picking
which camera to use was a big deal. I chose a DSLR CAMERA as it produces the highest
quality footage as well as being straightforward to use. In addition to filming I also had
to create a Digipack and Poster, I created these in PHOTOSHOP with images that I had
taken before hand, Photoshop allowed me to edit the images and add text
surrounding as well as add effects and touch up images that I wanted to use. I created
6 different frames and worked on them individually , and after combined them in the
format of the digipack. I also used an App on my Ipad called OVER this allowed my to
.
create my record label and design intricate details such as fonts, colour, shape ect

5. Evaluation
For my evaluation I also felt that it was important to use a variety of
technologies to present my work similar to my research and planning stages.
For my Evaluation I have used software’s such as PREZI to look at the
conventions and how I have challenged, developed and used
them, WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER, to look at the consistency between my
Music Video and Ancillary task, POWERPOINT to present my use of
technologies throughout the Research, Planning, Construction and Evaluation
Stages and also Video to show my Target Audience feedback.
