The document discusses how various digital technologies were used to complete a coursework project involving creating and distributing media products. Software like Audacity, Adobe Premiere, and online tools like YouTube, SurveyMonkey, Canva, and Wix were used to edit audio, film and edit videos, conduct surveys, create graphics, build a website, and share content. Hardware like a Canon DSLR camera and tripod were also used to film music video footage, which was then edited and synced with audio in Premiere. Social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp helped share project updates and survey links to gather feedback from an audience.

2. ▫ Digital technology has changed the way media is produced, distributed and
consumed. Technological convergence has made the entire process less
expensive and available to everyone. Anyone with a smartphone can record,
edit and upload films. The worlds biggest media library is available in the
form of internet. During the coursework we used different digital
technologies to create and distribute our media products.
▫ The coursework started with research, I searched online for different music
videos using online websites such as vimeo, dailymotion and youtube.
Youtube contains majority of the world’s music videos as it is the largest
video sharing service to date, I watched videos that inspired me and
embedded them into posts on my blog on wordpress. I kept updating my
wordpress blog with the progress.

3. During planning I used the snipping tool on
windows 7 to take screenshots of music videos
and the evidence for my blog.. Audience surveys
were conducted online using an online tool
called Survey Monkey it allowed me to design
the UI of the survey and publish it online with a
shareable link. I shared the link using facebook
and a popular instant messenger, Whatsapp.
Within a week I got the results and survey
monkey created infographics for me which I
posted on the blogs. Services like google images
and google search allowed me to gather
information and images for extensive research.

After listening to various tracks on youtube, I selcected “1800-273-
8255” cover. Youtube allowed me to embed the track on my blog
which was really helpful. Later I downloaded the song and edited
the song using Audacity, a music editor which allows to edit video
and sound files. I cut out the part which we did not require and
rendered the new track as a mp3 file. I used my Canon1200-D with a
tripod to film for the music video. The video was shot at 1080p HD
with 60 frames per second. I played the song on my phone while the
band lip synced to it. This later helped me to sync the video with the
edited track by matching the wavelength of the video’s sound to the
music. The record label logo and the digipak was also created using
Canva.com. I used the online presentation tools; prezi and
slideshare to create presentations which I could embed on my blog.
Using Adobe premier got easier with practice and tutorials online
on websites such as youtube and daily motion.

The online tool for website creation Wix
was really helpful, created the wireframe
in word using that as a base She created
the website. I later used singer’s images to
be used on the site. We integrated them
together has created the final website. At
the same time i used an online streaming
service for my song which is free of cost,
this allowed to me to deliver my product to
masses. Various tools, software and
hardware were used to create the 3
elements of the coursework and the blogs.
