QUESTION 4How did you use new technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Blogger• Through-out pre and post production blogger was vital in

helping us create the music video we wanted, we were able to look back at previous years works and find out what they did and how they did. It also enabled us to work as a group and post things individually but it also showed us as a group. With blogger we were able to track our progress as a group as we had many different posts from planning our video, animatic, feedback on animatic and feedback on the final video itself.

Cannon Camera • In post production, this camera was useful as we needed

to use it to take pictures of our location, so we can comment on it to see if it will fit in with the music video we were creating. From that in post-production, I was able to use the camera for the animatic and to ask feedback on the animatic, as the camera was a professional camera this was very beneficial in the actual filming of the video as it gave the video a professional look which as the camera was able to be used in HD

Social Networking• Twitter and Youtube was key in pre-production as it told us

about target audience and it also said who was interested in the band. For example on Twitter the band has over million followers, this shows that it was very popular socially and if you was to search in Arctic Monkeys on twitter you will find a lot of tweets about them this showed they were popular. Youtube was popular as we were able to look at what their videos were like and see if we could do something different with the video we created. Also when we looked at other bands in comparison Youutbe was good as it is easily to look up. Our final product was posted on Youtube as well

Macs and iMovie• iMovie is a programme which you can get on the Apple

Macs, it is a easy programme to use as all you need to do is put the SD card from the camera into the Mac and it will save all the footage from it to the Mac, from that, I was able to use the features iMovie to create the music video, was able to put the track in the background of the footage was able to cut and change to make the video look more effective, also an effect that was on iMovie which was used in the final video was the black and white effect into colour, this was used to try get across the narrative and it worked successfully.

Slideshare • Slideshare is a website that allows powerpoints to be put

onto the blogger, it is another visual way to get something on the blog, it looks creative and different. It can also appeal to those who are reading on the blog.
