Q4) How did you use media technologies in the construction,

research, planning and evaluation stages?

Surveymonkey

• I used survey monkey to conduct audience research to find out what my target audience liked and didn’t like about my work. This lead to my work being better aimed for my audience but also a better quality as I only went with the most popular answers with my final construction.

YouTube

• I also used YouTube in my research, by using YouTube I could analyse similar genre music videos to my own. Which meant that I could then visibly see the generic conventions of electronic videos which helped me make my own one. I can also see similar videos and artists to make this process easier.

Blogger

• Overall I used blogger to present my coursework. I used blogger because it would allow any link from other sites to be posted, and also any videos or pictures can be used in my work. Blogger can also be used on any computer, or downloaded as an app on a portable device which also meant I could do my work anywhere.

Camera

• In my planning I used my iPad camera to take test shots of my chosen settings. This allowed me to test the lighting and to make the shots look how I want it to for when I film my final construction. In used my iPad camera as this processed a higher quality image and I also could upload the photos quicker and easier to my blog.

Computer and printer

• I used a computer and printer to make and print a storyboard to plan my final edit. By using a storyboard I could plan what I wanted to do, and also make the filming and editing stage easier as I knew what every shot would be before I film it.

Windows movie maker

• I used this to edit my final edit together. It allowed me to add special effects to the clips I wanted, and obviously allowed the MP3 file to be edited along side my clips. I was limited by the editing software I could use, but with window movie maker being free and easy to use, and more importantly already installed onto my computer, I used that.

Slideshare + Prezzi

• For my evaluation I used presentation sites Slideshare and Prezzi. This was because these sites allow me to add text and pictures in a seamless blend. As well as this I could easily link the presentation to my blog, so all four questions can be accessed easily
