How did you use technologies in your construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
Throughout my music video planning and researching i have used a range of different technologies. The different technologies i have used are Photoshop, Adobe Premier Pro, YouTube and Camera equipment.
I used Photoshop for my digipak and magazine advert as well as in my research i done a practise of my own digipak by using Imagine Dragons digipak. I was able to do this by getting the picture that is on the imagine dragons digipak and using that but snipped out their main singer and took a picture of one of my friends to then try do a copy. This helped me a lot for my real digipak because i never used Photoshop before and i was able to test different icons on the website and see what they were.
I used Adobe Premier Pro in AS media when completing my preliminary task and my final task. Using it on my preliminary task was really helpful as it helped me get an idea of how to use it. When i completed my final task it went okay but there was a lot of room for improvement. So when it came to my music video i was able to remember what was what and tried my best on the music video by changing the colours and making it a different effect to make the mood lighter in some parts to make the audience feel happier.
I have used YouTube in AS and have used it in A2. In AS i used it for researching different horror clips and uploading the final task on to my YouTube account and in A2 i have used it a lot my than AS as i have been searching a variety of music videos to get an idea of how they suit their narrative to their song. I have also posted my music video on to YouTube so that any of the audience can view it and like or dislike it as well as comment to say what they think of it.
I have used a variety of different camera equipment when it came to filming such as the camera itself and the tripod, The tripod was so helpful when i filmed my preliminary and final task in AS as well as when i filmed my lip syncing video and final task in A2. It helped me hold the camera where i wanted to and stayed straight as well. The camera i used throughout it all obviously for the filming which we used very good quality cameras.
