Blogger allows for easy blogging with video and photo embedding. It has strengths like custom post ordering and embedding from other sites. Weaknesses include imperfect image placement and text formatting issues after publishing. Blogger documented the research, planning, and progress of the author's music video and print products. Feedback from Blogger helped cater to the target audience.

3. BLOGGER
• STRENGTHS:
•VERY EASY TO BLOG ON AND USE. • CAN EASILY ADD VIDEOS AND PHOTOS, ESPECIALLY VIDEOS
STRAIGHT FROM YOUTUBE. • ABLE TO ALTER THE TIME AND DATE OF WHAT YOU POST ALLOWING YOUR POSTS TO BE IN
THE ORDER YOU WANT IT TO BE AND YOUR POSTS EASILY ACCESSED AND VIEWED BY YOUR VIEWERS. • ABLE TO EMBED
THINGS FROM MANY OTHER WEBSITES SUCH AS PREZI AND SLIDESHARE BY USING THE HTML OPTION. • POSTS CAN
EASILY SHOW WHO DONE/POSTED IT USING THE LABELS.
• WEAKNESSES:
•SOMETIMES THE PICTURES WOULDN'T GO IN THE EXACT SPACE YOU WANTED IT TO GO, SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO WORK
AROUND IT. • SOMETIMES WHEN CREATING A POST YOUR FONT AND SIZE OF SOME OF THE TEXT WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT
AFTER IT HAD BEEN PUBLISHED.

4. BLOGGER CONTINUED
BLOGGER WAS ESSENTIAL FOR BOTH OUR MUSIC VIDEO AND PRINT PRODUCTS AND AS TO WHY THEY SUCCESSFULLY
BECAME REALISTIC. IN PRE-PRODUCTION BLOGGER WAS USED TO DOCUMENT THE RESEARCH WE UNDERTOOK FOR ANY
ASPECT OF OUR PRODUCTS SUCH AS; COSTUME, LOCATION, TARGET AUDIENCE, GENRE'S, ETC. WE ALSO USED IT TO GAIN
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK , AND THIS FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED REALLY HELPED US IN CATERING FOR OUR TARGET AUDIENCE AS
WE GOT TO HEAR FIRST HAND FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW HOW OUR IDEAS WAS AND TELL US WHAT WE COULD DO TO
IMPROVE . FINALLY FOR POST PRODUCTION WE USED IT TO SHOW OUR PROGRESSION FROM ROUGH CUT OF EDITING TO
FINAL CUT WHICH SHOWS HOW WE HAVE IMPROVED AND TO SHOWCASE OUR FINAL PRODUCTS AND NOW BLOG OUR
EVALUATIONS.

5. CANON DSL 650 D WITH 18 - 55MM LENS
• Strengths:
•Clear shots as it has 18 megapixels allowing high quality. • Can easily be maneuvered when handheld. • Used
beforehand so with filming the thriller we know what to press, best way to use it and tips given to us in terms of white
balance which were easy to follow. • The lens allowed us to change focal points between the range of 18 - 55mm
meaning that we didn't have to move to get a clear shot of something close or far. • The lens has image stabilization
controls to make video smoother while recording. • The camera was touch screen making the user interface easier
to use and allowing the user to change certain aspects easily such as ISO change, aperture, shutter speed and white
balance.
• Weaknesses:
•The battery life was an issue as at one point we had to rush through filming to get it in and we continuously had to
put the camera on/off to preserve battery life. The battery can only last 2hrs 10m while continually recording. • The
camera had an inbuilt mic that was very poor and would pick up unwanted sounds but luckily we were supplied with
a Rode Mic.

6. CANON DSL 650 D WITH 18 - 55MM LENS
This was the most important piece of media technology we used in the process of creating our final
product's without it we would not have been able to film the footage we needed to create the video, this is
why the camera was one of the most vital pieces of media technology ,as without it we would have
nothing. This camera allowed us to capture the object in front of the camera (rapper) in different angles
and focuses which created different effects on the atmosphere when the rapper is rapping.

7. SOUNDCLOUD
• STRENGTHS
- EASY LAYOUT AS THEIR MUSIC IS AT THE PRESS OF A BUTTON
- MOST ARTISTS ARE UNSIGNED SO THAT IT MEANS WE CAN BROWSE ALL GENRES
• WEAKNESSES
- YOU CANT SEE A VISUAL OF SONG ITS JUST AUDIO SO HARD TO TELL STYLE OF RAPPER
- RAPPERS MIGHT INCLUDE SWEAR WORDS WHICH MEANS IT LIMITS OUR USAGE OF SONGS

8. SOUNDCLOUD
WHEN WE WERE SEARCHING FOR SONGS WE USED THIS TO FIND UNSIGNED ARTISTS OR NON
COPYRIGHTED SONGS. THIS ALSO HAD LINKS TO THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA SUCH AS INSTAGRAM & FACEBOOK
WHICH WAS GREAT AS IT WOULD ALLOW US TO CONTACT THEM EASIER FOR PERMISSION TO USE THEIR
SONG. WE COULD ALSO SEE THEIR FOLLOWERS SO WE HAD AN IDEA ON THEIR PUBLICITY, WHICH GAVE US
AN IDEA WHETHER TO CHOOSE THEIR SONGWE. NEEDED TO CONTACT THE RAPPER ‘CHRIS YONGE’ SO ONCE
WE FOUND HIS SONG, WE CONTACTED HIM THROUGH INSTAGRAM.

9. YOUTUBE
• STRENGTHS
HAS COMMENT SECTION FOR AUDIENCES TO POST THEIR THOUGHT ABOUT VIDEO - FREE TO POST, FREE TO
VIEW AND OUR TARGET MARKET WATCH USE THIS APP WHICH MEANS THAT THEY WILL BE LEAVING
COMMENTS/OPINIONS. - YOU CAN SEARCH THE GENRE AND SONG WILL COME UP
• WEAKNESSES
VIDEOS CAN BECOME PRIVATE SO THEY WONT APPEAR ON EVERYONE'S SEARCH - VIDEOS TAKE LONG TIME
TO UPLOAD AND THEN THE UPLOAD CAN IMPACT THE QUALITY OF VIDEO MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES USED IN
RESEARCH STAGE YOUTUBE

10. YOUTUBE CONTINUED
WE USED YOUTUBE MOSTLY IN OUR PRE/POST PRODUCTION STAGES. IN PRE-PRODUCTION WE USED
YOUTUBE TO FIND SOME UNCOPYRIGHTED MUSIC FOR OUR MUSIC VIDEO AND THIS IS WHERE WE IN FACT
FOUND TGIF BY CHRIS YONGE, WE WERE THEN ABLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH HIM EASILY AS HIS SOCIAL
MEDIA LINKS WERE TAGGED IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION BIT. WE ALSO USED YOUTUBE TO POST OUR
CONSTRUCTION (WHICH WE FILMED ON AN IPHON 6S) AND FEEDBACK VIDEOS DURING OUR PLANNING AND
FILMING. FOR POST PRODUCTION YOUTUBE IS WHERE WE POSTED OUR FINAL MUSIC VIDEO PROJECT, AS
YOUTUBE IS A WEBSITE THAT WOULD HELP US REACH OUR TARGET AUDIENCE VIEWS.
