Evaluation: How did you use new technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

 Throughout the process, new technologies have been in every aspect of the construction of both my ancilarly and main task. To create a creative music video, new technologies have to be used in order to get the most; this is why I made a point of using industry standard software in every aspect of this project.

Carrying out research on a number of different things ranging from Adobe Premier Pro tutorials and advice given. Examples of some of the search engines that were used in order to help in research were Google, Yahoo and Ask.com.




YouTube is a video sharing website which users upload and view videos that have been uploaded, the website has become a huge phenomenon over recent years and is  regularly visited for music videos and tutorials. This became a huge research source within the project, which I visited to gain inspiration from. YouTube allows for bands to create their own channels and use this is a platform to showcase their music videos. As well as this, I have used new media technologies such as USB, iTunes, TV and computers throughout the research stages.

Ensuring that our group work has been arranged and scheduled efficiently, we felt it was neccessary to keep up to date via a production schedule be through facebook or dropbox. This new media technology is a brilliant way of sharing work with eachother, almost a portable USB with no stick to worry about.

I researched existing media products using the Internet, on sites such as 'Youtube', where I could view music videos of varying genres.
In the beginning stages of our project we pitched our music video idea to our media teachers which was then filmed, we used the new media technology such as video equipment and Adobe Premiere Pro to doccument this. By videoing the pitch, it enabled us to see where we were going wrong ourselves and what we needed to improve on in the planning stage.

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier Pro and Indesign were all new media technologies used within constructing the media video. Photoshop and indesign were all used with skills carried from previous projects however premier pro was a new software. To get used to Premier Pro we had to construct an open day video showcasing our school. Adobe Photoshopwas used within production stages of my ancillary tasks, using this software for editing and also to create my promotional poster. I developed photoshop and also inDesign, which was where my booklet was created.

The evaluating process also heavily involved new media technology from filming feedback, questionnaires and also asking opinions via Facebook. New media technology is heavily relied upon in our generation from playing songs on our smartphones whilst filming to capture lyrics to the editing of footage. Without New Media Technology my brand of products would not look as professional and the mise-en-scene could not of been captured to the full like I have.
