I used various online tools and platforms to research conventions of my chosen music genre, plan and construct my music video, and evaluate the final project. These included YouTube, Google, Facebook, Blogger, Prezi, Panasonic camera, Sony Vegas video editing software, Adobe Illustrator, Fujifilm camera, and Adobe Photoshop. I also shared my work on YouTube, Facebook, SlideShare, and Blogger to gather feedback for evaluation.

These are some of the tools I
used whilst editing my music
video, because some of the
shots in my video were quite
dark I used Colour Curves to
change the brightness of the
clip.
To distinguish the difference between the band
and the fans I used the Black And White tool,
this allowed the audience to see the clear
