Can Arslan used several media technologies in the construction, planning, and evaluation of their project. Photoshop was used to create ancillary products and achieve vintage effects. Final Cut Pro was the main video editing tool used to trim clips, add filters, and adjust color and sound balance. Blogger helped organize research, planning, and production with posts containing videos, audio, and screenshots. Twitter kept teachers updated on filming schedules. GIFs showcased multiple pictures simultaneously. YouTube provided inspiration by allowing viewing of other music videos. A camera and SD cards were used to capture and store video shots.

1. EVALUATION QUESTION 3:
‘HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES IN THE
CONSTRUCTION, PLANNING AND
EVALUATION STAGES’?
By Can Arslan

2. Photoshop
• Photoshop was used for the construction of my ancillary
products, I used photoshop cs6 which is the latest version
as it had many new features which were easy to use while
creating my ancillary products.
In this screenshot, I am
playing with the curves,
which effect the colour
balance of the picture.
Doing this helped me
get a vintage effect on
my image, hand made
instead of using a filter.

3. Final Cut Pro
• Final cut pro was the main video editing tool I used to edit
my music video. I used final cut pro to edit clips. For
example I trimmed them down, added filters and played
with its colour and sound balance.

4. Final Cut pro 2
• The screenshot below demonstrates two clips being reversed and then put in normal
order and multiplied a few times in order to get a stop/start effect, but when this is used
effectively with good content, which in our case was the smashing of glass. It ensured
that the target audience was still engaged as it was repeated a few times at fast paced,
as a result of the repetition instead of one single break, the audience could also see the
glass pieces.
• The grey clips show the transition we used in order to get into these clips, transitions
are effective because it makes the sequence look much smoother rather than skip from
clip to clip with no real indication to indicate the next clip is something different.

5. Final cut pro 3
• Colour correction after blacking out the rest of the clip and only allowing a certain
shade of red/purple
• Doing this effect via video filters helps us sync the lyric 'never should of listened to the
serpent' with the clip of the serpent, and the video filter ensures the target audience
concentrates on this.

• Colour correction after blacking out the rest of the clip and only allowing a certain
shade of red/purple
• Doing this effect via video filters helps us sync the lyric 'never should of listened to the
serpent' with the clip of the serpent, and the video filter ensures the target audience
concentrates on this.

7. Blogger
• I used blogger to help organise my research and planning
stages so that I could refer back to it to help me with my
production. I used also used it in my production process
to help stay on top of my work. I used blogger by creating
new posts and adding many different types of content
instead of just text, for example. Vimeo videos and
soundcloud, or screenshots.

8. Blogger 2
Use of vimeo, soundcloud and
text
Using vimeo and soundcloud meant that I
could upload high quality video and audio
and embed it almost anywhere on the
internet hassle-free!

9. Blogger 3
We ensured each of our blog posts had
labels to help keep everything organized.
While using blogger, I made sure that all
my blog posts began with what its about,
for example all research blogs began with
‘RESEARCH: ------’ and production with
‘PRODUCTION ------’ doing this helped
me locate blog posts much easier, saving
time.

10. Twitter
• I used twitter to keep the teachers updated with our
filming days so that they as well as us had a record of
where we were filming and when, incase we needed to
refer back to it.

11. Gifs
• I used gifs to showcase several pictures simultaneously if
I was trying to put a point across, or if I wanted people to
see something I done in contrast/comparison with
something else

12. The Internet!
• YouTube was used to watch other music videos in the
research and planning stage as a source of inspiration (to
get ideas from)

13. Camera/SD Cards
• The Camera was used throughout or production process
to capture as many shots as we could for our music video,
all the shots were stored onto an SD Card, these cards
were great as they could hold large files but also were
very portable.
