To present and work through my forth evaluation covering the media technologies used throughout the stages of y product, I decided to use a vlog. In this vlog, I work through each element of digital media and media technologies which I have used throughout my project.
Digital media was a massive part of my project and was present in every section. when it came to platforms, I used platforms such as Blogger, Google, Youtube, Prezi etc.
In my vlog I cover;
Research and Planning
Blogger
- Used in every section of my project to display and document my work; from my initial ideas to my evaluation and final products.
- It helped me maintain structure throughout the entirety of my project and meant that I was able to move onto each stage with confidence.
- Blogger is online, which meat that I could access it from wherever I was.
- Overall, Blogger was a very prominent media technology used throughout the entirety of my project . It as also very easy to use and helpful.
- Helped me in the research stage by providing me with the ability to access any information, at anytime.
- Not only used in the research stage but throughout my project; whenever I needed to know something or learn a new skill (editing), I would use Google.
- Mainly used for my genre specifib and non-specific research.
- Used when looking into codes and conventions of other videos in my genre.
- Mainly used when looking at other music videos, so that I could use different aspects of theirs to influence my own.
- Accessible wherever I was, as I had the app on my phone.
- Also very useful in the production and post productions stages.
Production
Camera, Tripod and iPhone
- These were three media technologies which I haven't mentioned in my vlog, however were very important.
- The camera was used in the production stage. I used a Cannon 500 to film my music video on, which is meant to be used for photography, however I was very pleased with the outcome of using it. I also used it to take pictures in my ancillaries.
- A tripod is something which I didn't use in all of my shots in production, but in some of them. This just meant that the shots would be a lot more stable.
- My iPhone was a media technology which I used in the production stage. I used this when i was filming to either get on Blogger, or research products to inspire me.
Premiere Pro and iMovie
- Premiere was the software which I used to edit my music video. I found it very easy to use and was very pleased with the outcome.
- There were many different tools which I could use in Premier to edit my video, which allowed me to stretch my abilities and create a more complex music video.
- I used iMovie with clips i couldn't edit n Premiere.
- For example, you cannot apply both a stabiliser and a speed modifier in Premiere. Therefore , I took the clip into iMovie, added a stabiliser and then moved it back into Premiere to change the speed.
Prezi
- I used this in my evaluation stage (and research stage), to present presentations in a alternative way.
- Very easy to use and accessible wherever I was.
- I used Photoshop for my ancillary work. I didn't know how to use it originally, but got used to it very quickly
- I liked that Photoshop allowed me to create something that looked professional, as it has so many tools
- Photoshop is widely used by professionals in the media, which made me was to use it for my project.
