Evaluation 4

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

In the beginning of the project my group and me constructed the idea of the time lapse by watching music video's are teachers gave us on YouTube one of our biggest influences was the time lapses in Ray of light by Madonna, we also used music channels such as mtv to try to get an influence for our video, the internet also helped because we got images of what we thought would work in our video and put it on our mood board this really helped construct and give us an idea of what we were going for so the internet and T.V were really helpful in the construction of our music video.

During the reasearch stages of the music video project the internet was a very useful new media, for instance youtube allowed us to listen to our song and create ides around it, we also reasearched a lot around music video's webiste such as using wikepedia and imdb to look into what music video directors have done what and who for, i used the internet such as wikipedia and imdb again for my artist reasearch where i did a case study on eminem. Another reason the internet was so useful was because we were able to look into music company's background such as the rough trade and sony bgm company this also allowed us to fufill posts on our blogs about music video company's. We also used youtube converter to covert our song so we can listen to it and storeyboard it so it would be easier to do, while reasearching and storyboarding we also used a camera to take images of our storeyboard then upload them to i-movie so we could watch the storyboard which was extremely useful. Another thing we used on the internet which was useful to document our reasearch was blogspot which is very useful.

During filming we used many new technologies such as an i phone 4 for its hd camera which we took photo's of our props and sets which was really useful in documenting our filming, anotherthing we used which helped with the mise-en-scene was a smoke machine and lights that you would find in a club which helped develop our set into a pretend club, the technology that was the most important was the HD camera we used that made our timelapses look very crisp and smooth and worked really well, without these small things on the day of shhoting we would have struggled greatly one last thing we used was an Ipod and speakers so our actor could lyp sync which was useful.

During the editing of the film the technologies we used were the apple computers which were useful as they run the proggrames fast that we needed to edit with also we used the proggrame final cut pro to edit which we used very sucessfully it was very useful as we could edit our film almost to a proffesional standerd another proggrame that helped even know it was not useful for editing was photoshop which was useful in creating my digipack and poster.
