Q4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

I used a wide variety of new technology within my project. I used websites such as youtube and wikipedia to research my artists and their music videos. I also used Spotfy, which is an online music sharing program, to listen to Radiohead's music on my phone even when i wasn't at home to get a feel of what their music is like as I wasn't a fan of their music originally. I used my sony SLR camera to take photos of the locations that we would be shooting at to document it and look over them later on when deciding the narrative and how it will look visually.

I used iMovie to edit the music video and import and export it. As I have used it at the end of last year to also edit a music video, i found it really easy to use. I also used Photoshop CS4 to edit the ancillary tasks. I use Photoshop a lot within my photography work as well, so it was quite simple for me to edit them as I also knew what I wanted them to look like. I used the program Picasa which is from Google to view the photos and arrange them. My scanner was also used to scan the brain storms that we made and uploaded on our blog.

To film my music video, I used my own SLR camera (Sony A33) which is very new technology and has the HD recording feature too. I got this camera as I felt that the quality of the school cameras would decrease while editing and you don't have much control and variety as with the SLR.
