New media technologies were used throughout the construction, research, planning, and evaluation stages of creating a music video. Video and stills cameras were used to film and photograph footage and locations. Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro were used to edit the video and create ancillary materials. YouTube and blogs hosted the uploaded video and research materials. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint aided in audience research and evaluation. Google provided inspiration and ideas for the ancillary product.
