Evaluation Question 4

the new media technologies and how we used them

The technologies that we used for each stage of our coursework varies for what was needed for specific roles. For the research we used a digital camera to record the public for vox pops and used surveys on surveymonkey, this is to see what type of music the public like and what they like to see in music videos, we used a microphone to enhance the voice recording so their voices could be heard much more clearer. For the actual construction of the video we used a full HD camera to record each scene to enable facial emotions clear and sharp. A tripod was also used to keep the shots steady and easy to view. The picture to the right is the exact model of tripod that we had used for all of our filming other than the monopod circling our actors in the music video.

We also used a device known as a monopod, this is like a miniature version steadicam except its cheaper and lot easier to handle. We used this to circle round the actors as they dance highlighting their emotions with close-up shots. To edit the video we used an imac along with a program called final cut express to make the split screen effect, and make the cross dissolves from one shot to the other keeping it slow and creating the romantic atmosphere needed for the song.

For our evaluation we used two different websites to help us answer the questions. The first one we used was called prezi.com and is useful in making an attractive and quite professional powerpoint that moves in crazy ways to keep people pulled to the screen. It is very simple to use and is user friendly. 

The other we used was called slideshare.com which is basically an online version of powerpoint.  

For creating our advertisement we didn't want use photoshop because we weren't skilled enough to use it, so we had used an online photo editor called picmonkey.com. It was very easy to get used to and made it much more easier to use to edit our photo for our advertisement.
For our digipak we had used photoshop and was quite difficult to use as the layout was complex so we had used the very basic tools to make our digipak and import our photos that we had edited in picmonkey to create what the digipak is now.
