Here is my evaluation to question 4.

1. Evaluation Question 4 – How did
you use new media technologies in
the construction and research,
planning and evaluation stages
By Zach Heppner-Logan

2.  We used Final Cut Pro to edit our music video in as it was the
software that the school as but also because it is highly
regarded as one of the best and most efficient software's to
edit work in.
 It has a wide variety of features which you can use to edit
the speed, look, colour correction, and as well as this it
allows for you to be able to layer video frames over one
another and let them play.
 This editing software has tools such as the magnetic
timeline, background processing, stabilisation and Ken burns

3.  By being able to use Blogger it has allowed for me and the
rest of my group to be able to show and others to view work
which we have done so far.
 Another advantage of using it is that it’s very easy to use and
allows you to embed web links from other sites such as
Prezi, Slide share and YouTube. By being able to do this as
well it also allows you to make the layout and look of your
blog look smart to viewers that go on and look at them.

4.  Social media has helped our group in a large way with
allowing us to be able to upload questions or videos and
other evidence and allow us to be able to get good feedback
on them and find out ways of improving our music video.
 We also used Facebook/ Messenger as a way of
communicating ideas to one another and also to use it to
organise when we wanted to film, what equipment we would
need which also proved useful with organisation.
Social Media

5.  YouTube has played an integral role for our group in stages before
filming our music video, whilst filming it and after filming.
 Before we started filming it allowed us to be able to look at different
artists who have music videos in similar genres to us and allowed us
to be able to generate and look at possible ideas which we could
then use in our own music videos. Along with this be being able so
see what comments people had left for them and the amount of
views and shares videos they had got it allowed our group to see
what ideas did and didn’t work in their music videos and how can we
make ours look better.
 As well as this YouTube has been used to share work on social media,
embed onto blogs for evidence as well and be used as a way for one
another to upload videos of individual and group work.

6.  Prezi, Scribd and Slideshare were all different ways in which I
have been able to show and upload my work to my blog.
 Prezi has allowed my to use other ways beside PowerPoint to
upload work which looks very smart and which is also more
interactive.
 Scribd and Slideshare have both been used to convert
PowerPoints and Word documents into online versions which I
am then able to share, upload to blogs and allow other users to
view them.

7.  We used Photoshop to edit and adjust all of the
photos we took for our digipack and magazine
advert. We used Photoshop because it has a wide
range of features and tools for this.
 Indesign was used to layer out the digipack and also
add text to designs from Photoshop as well due to it
having a wider range of fonts and being easier to use.
