2. YOUTUBE
To be able to use the videos I made in my
research, planning, construction, final products
and evaluation tabs, I uploaded them onto
YouTube.
YouTube made it easy for me and my group to share
our music video with our audience to get
feedback and post videos for our blog.
We were also able to have access to watch music
videos made in the industry to get ideas for our
own music video as well as looking at previous
A2 music video’s to see the standard from
before, enabling us to improve ours by viewing
them. We were able to look at the different music
videos that We Are the In Crowd have made as
well as ‘Rumor Mill’.
YouTube made it easier to share some of our work
together in our group.

3. FACEBOOK
Facebook was a great help in the audience
feedback stages and finding our target
audience. We were able to post our finished
music video onto our profiles to collect
audience feedback, as well as the survey we
made, to find helpful good comments and
improvements that were needed if we
completed the project again.
We were also able to make our own Facebook
band page for ‘Saturday’s
Alliance’, furthering the branding of our
band and production company as well as
using it to make the narrative storyline of
the Facebook stalkers. We were able to post
video clips and photos, getting our friends
to comment, being apart of the rumours on
Facebook, slating the party.

4. TWITTER
Like Facebook, we used Twitter to
communicate with our target
audience to collect
feedback, using the band
account that we made as well as
our personal profiles.
It helped us to create personality to
our band with the
tweets, pictures and videos to
make it look as though
Saturday’s Alliance was a real
band with actual followers.

5. SURVEY MONKEY
We used SurveyMonkey to find out our target audience by asking a series of questions.
This helped us to identify the genre we should be sticking to in our music
video, what sort of narrative structure we should go by (which ended up being
linear) and making final ideas based on the target audience we found out from this
survey.
SurveyMonkey was also very useful in getting audience feedback. We were able post
the questions without hassle, posting the link on Facebook and twitter to get our
audience to tell us what they thought o four music video. It proved to be a quick
and easy process to which we benefitted from greatly.

6. MICROSOFT POWERPOINT
To create the presentations for my
research, planning, construction and
evaluation stages, I used Microsoft
PowerPoint to present my work.
This was easy to use with the templates and the
simple layout of the pages. I was able to
present my work to a high standard with
PowerPoint by using tools such as animation
and transitions to make look fun and
interesting.
I was able to make them look the way I wanted
them to, with the variety of fonts, colours and
other tools. PowerPoint enabled me to show
my written work while also presenting images
and video clips, which proved to be very
useful.

7. KEYNOTE
KEYNOTE was used the same way
that Microsoft PowerPoint was; to
create presentations, but the
difference was that this was a
program on an IMAC computer
whereas PowerPoint was on IMAC
and normal PC computers.

8. PAGES
Pages is a program which can only be used on
an IMAC, that helped me to create the
digipak advertising poster, digipak cover
and the mock-up versions of these two
ancillary products.
Pages was good to use as it is a high quality
program which enables you to use texts
downloaded from dafont.com, using
whatever fun or tame fonts you want to
make your work more interesting.
We were able to paste our images into our
documents where we could
resize, reposition, rotate, turn into different
shapes, etc.. Pages helped us to create
professional looking products with quick
and easy use.

9. DAFONT.COM
DAFONT.COM is an internet program we used
to download our fonts we used for digipak
advertising poster and digipak cover.
With this website we were able to have access
to a wide range of fonts in many
categories, downloading our favourite ones
to use for our products. It was simple and
easy to do.
We also found the font we used for the
branding for our band with their logo, using
a American high school varsity font to
reflect our theme of American stereotypes
for our American band.

10. IMOVIE
I used IMOVIE throughout all of the stages of
our project, using it to make high quality
videos of our
construction, research, planning, final
products and evaluation posts.
This program gave me a chance to synchronize
text with photos, videos and songs, to
present my work in a fun way.
I was able to use a variety of different fonts and
transitions. I was able to edit the footage of
my videos to correct and make them look
better within a short time span.
IMOVIE enabled me to make collages of videos
for my research and planning, gaining skill
in this editing software to be able to
advance when I ended up using Final Cut
Pro.

11. FINAL CUT PRO
Final Cut Pro is the program we used to make our
music video. We specifically used this program
for its high quality, industry standard editing
system to make our music video look
professional.
We were able to do skills that we could not do before
on programs like IMOVIE, such as split screen.
The system was great for cutting away clips and
putting clips together to make sequences with all
of the footage we had filmed for our band
performance and narrative storyline.
We were able to speed and slow down out clips to
match the beat of the song, to which we were
able to overlay on the video, creating a
professional looking music video because of this
program.

12. PHOTOSHOP
We used Photoshop to edit the photos for
our ancillary products, make the logo for
our band ‘Saturday’s Alliance’ and put
together the rumour Facebook posts to
be able to put into our music video
narrative.
Photoshop is a professional, high quality
program that enabled use to create high
standard images with the cool and or
simple tools.
It was quite a hard program to use at
first, but after getting the hang of it, our
images came out great with this post-
production editing software.

13. PIC MONKEY
PicMonkey is an online photo editing
software that we also used to edit
some of our images.
This is an easy editing program which
gave us access to great effects and
helped us to make simple changes
to our photos with hardly any time
spent.
We were able to add
icons, text, boarders and special
colour effects that we could not
have done as easily on Photoshop.

14. WIX.COM
WIX.COM is an online site that we used to create
our website for our band ‘Saturday’s Alliance’.
This is a professional looking site that gave us
access to many great templates to use for our
website, ranging from any type of website you
could ever want.
We were able to choose a real style for a rock band
website with rough edges and backgrounds.
We were able to post images, choose from a
variety of fonts, post videos and our completed
music video.
We also were able to create tour dates like real
websites for bands do, updates on what the
band was doing, and many more great tools
which made our website look professional and
industry standard.

15. SLIDE SHARE + SLIDE ROCKET
These are two online programs that I used to upload my
presentations I made from Microsoft PowerPoint and
Keynote.
These were used to show my power points on my
blog, playing my work throughout the slides.
The programs were quick and easy to use, which I used
throughout the planning, research, construction and
evaluation stages to present in a high quality.

16. XTRANORMAL
Xtranormal is also an online software which I
used for my music consumption
research.
With this, I was able to create cartoon-
looking interviews without using the real
voices of the people I actually
interviewed.
I was able to put my characters in different
locations, making short film-like clips
with the camera angles they provided for
me. I got to choose my own
characters, sounds and paste my text
into the dialogue boxes provided.
This was a fun way to present my
research, enabling me to use a variety of
software's for my blog.

17. PREZI
Prezi is an online program that I used to present my work throughout
my project. I was able to add text, pictures and video to the
page, enabling me to use different types of media in one software.
It is a easy website which I was able to use for my evaluation and
research, being able to press the buttons to navigate around the
page and to read and watch easily.

18. CANON SLR 550D
This is the camera I used to film the
narrative and the band shots as well as
the photo-shoot for our ancillary
products.
The canon provided us with high quality
shooting, with a clear and focused
image with the videos I filmed.
I was able to change the focus on the
camera between two of the
artists, which was easy to do with this
professional piece of equipment and
was able to easily upload the footage to
my computer.

19. IMAC COMPUTERS
Using the IMAC computers was a
real treat as they are high
quality, fast moving and have a
lot of programs we could access
on the spot.
Without the use of these
computers, our music video
would not be at the standard it
is, showing how professional
and industry level they are.
