Evaluation Question 4 - Text

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

Construction stage
-Throughout the construction stage of creating the media products many different media technologies were used to aid the build up of all three media products. The most dominant of course being iMovie. iMovie allowed us to create the complete main product with this specific software enabling us to edit our raw footage and enhance these clips as well as change the speed, opacity and layering of the clips. Especially for the kaleidoscope effect, comparing the program's built-in kaleidoscope-creating effects in final cut Express helped us to utilise both editing softwares. However, by using iMovie to edit and create the kaleidoscope effect meant that this software offered the better suited effect for us as it allowed us to use our own footage which was more suited for our music video.

research stage
-For the research into creating the main product we were required to explore existing media texts and professional music videos. To do this we used the video sharing website YouTube which allowed us to view many different media texts to find inspiration and influences for our own music video. Other means of finding existing media products was through music channels such as MTV and Viva as well as radio stations websites which also allow you to view and share artists professional music videos. After finding these influences we were able to use Blogspot.co.uk to share these and document what we were inspired by in order to keep a note of videos we would be able to reference in the future. 


planning stage
-to plan my media products i used different media technologies. google. blogger. mac blogs.
-As you can see I have labelled all blog posts which I have created for inspiration purposes under the label 'Inspiration.' Throughout the planning stages this media technology was helpful as it allowed easy access to a filtered page of existing media content which i was able to refer back to for influences for my own media product.

evaluation stage
-In my evaluation many different media technologies were used in this process in order to bring together the planning research and of course the construction of the different questions i was required to answer.
