HOW DID USE NEW MEDIA

TECHNOLOGIES, PLANNING, AND

EVALUATIONIn this presentation I am going to

be talking about how we used new and different media technologies to

plan and evaluate my media products.

WHAT FORMS OF TECHNOLOGIES WE USED TO MAKE MUSIC VIDEO To capture the film, we used a digital

recording camera. We found it quite is easy to get the hand of the camera, using the zoom function and the basic handling of the camera. We also used a tripod to capture steady shots of the artist in our music video. o We found it easy to capture the shots we needed on the day of the video shoot we only used one camera to film footage but we repeatedly filmed the same footage but from different angles to allow us to have enough shots for editing.

We filmed in many different locations around London such as famous landmarks like Big Ben and London Eye. However, when film there was some busy periods where the public passed by in some shots, therefore we had to have enough correct and clean shots for editing. When filming we placed the artist in front of London Eye and Big Ben, as these are famous landmarks, and the song was about London.

HOW WE EDITED THE FILM SHOTS INTO A MUSIC VIDEO To construct our music video, we used Final

Cut Pro an editing software on the Apple Mac. At first we found it hard to use the program and had to turn to look at the Final Cut Pro manual, but through practice we found it easy to edit the shots.

When editing we had to make sure that the lyrics were in sync with the song. This was hard at first because we didn't know how to use the program as much, but after using it a couple of times, we found out that we could move the film for that section of the song along a the timeline allowing to become in sync.

Whilst editing found out was of adding visual effects such as fades into different shot but then quickly to the original which we used in specific times in the video in order tell the audience the song through images.

TECHNOLOGIES WE USED TO MAKE THE MAGAZINE ADVERT AND CD COVER.

We used two different software's to produce the magazine advert and CD cover.

For the magazine advert and CD cover we used adobe Photoshop to fine tune and edit our products.

To construct our CD cover and magazine we used Adobe Indesign.

At first I found it hard to use Photoshop and Indesign either though I used it last year to create my magazine, but again after using it a couple of times, it came back to me.

The photos we used didn’t need much editing as we took them in a well lit place.

In to order conduct our research we used technologies such as search engines like Google, in order to gain enough information to produce the correct product. We also used websites such as YouTube and Survey Monkey to gain audience feedback.
