The document discusses how new media technologies were used at different stages of a music video project. Movie editing software like iMovie was used to edit footage and add music and effects. Photoshop tools like the blur, text, and selection tools were utilized. A Casio camera was used to film footage and take photos. Blogging platforms like Blogger and SlideShare were employed to plan, evaluate, and share elements of the project, and YouTube was used to upload and embed the final video. Lighting considerations were also discussed.
