Evaluation Question 4

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

Blogger - I have implied ranges of media technologies throughout my A2 media studies course. From my research, planning, evaluation and also construction, I have used Blogger to upload all my posts and throughout, I realise it very easy and straight forward to use. Without the blogger, displying my finished products would be quite difficult. with blogger, I was able to embed videos and presentations from Youtube, Prezi and Emaze which was really helpful as it shows the viewers where my inspirations are coming from, being able to share pictures from the internet or photoshop.


Youtube - using youtube proves hat its a very reliable media resources to use, I found using youtube very easy as its a site that i am quite familiar with and I used it for various reasons and my knowledge progresses the more I use it.
youtube enabled me to research music videos of any genre and I was able to build up my knowledge of conventions through watching youtube video. I also used it to research existing music videos and found variouss clips that i can therefore relate with and take ideas on board.

Premier pro - premier pro is very advanced when it comes to comparison with my previous movie editing tool imovie. with its timeline based editing application, I was enable to assemble footages quite easily due to the fact that I had previous knowledge from using the when creating my last year's movie clip. when using premier pro, I tried to use most editing techniques to my advantage such as slow-motions, reverse clips, colour changing etc. i also used it to plan the stages as well. to edit my storyboard animatic video.

Photoshop - photoshop was used when it comes to creating my ancillary tasks, photoshop is the miost challenging of all as its advanced ability and being able to go off task quite easily but I therefore made a decision of experimenting with different ideas and also watching clips on how to do what.
the software gives me the ability to import which I can then work into etc.

Google - google is the most helpful tools to use as it contains detailed information on whatever i want to know about. I tend to use googles quite often when it comes to adding logos in my ancillary task, pictures displaying common conventions which I compare from to my own task etc.

Evaluation Question 3

I also did a more detailed research on MixMag target audience as it links to my chosen music and from my research i can draw that there is a high percentage of males that aremore likely to be a typical fan as males make up 72% of the readership. Females however only make up a tiny 28% in comparison to the boys. this then inspired me to making my own music video that will appeal equally to males and female as that will therefore lead to more distribution.

here is an example of a female target audience that will show great interest in product.
 

Magazine advert - I showed members of my target audience what their thought were with my magazine advert, they then gave conclusions suce as " Your magazine advert is very interesting to look, can also see that it contains informations needed for me to know all the necessary further info i would want to know"





(The magazine advert containing links and ratings etc.)

















Cd Digi-pack - after my music video, I showed my target audience my Cd Digi-pack and the feedback I got was - " I like the fact that the colour is quite bright as it makes feel more interested in your work and alsom me wanting to see more" - tyler
" i like the fact that you kept the same picture from the magazine advert with the image on your cd digi-pack back cover, it makes it easier to understand that its the same product.

Evaluation Question 2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks?

Evaluation Question 1

construction: Editing

After my recording for my music video was done, i imported all the recorded clips to premier pro ready for editing, the first process i did was having all the clips in the right order so it becomes easier to select next cnenes that needs to be edited, i then replaced the footage audio with my chosen music audio.

The next step then involved following my previous animatic video on what scene goes before the other,



















The image below is of a scene in the music video where is edited the clip to play backwards, the reason i did this was to shows that there is a great knowledge with the use of premier pro and also make the video more interesting to watch, during this editing, i realise the scene wasnt working as good as i though it would, the solution to then fixing this problem is then render the clip and that worked successfully.

This image above contains a black and white effect and the method it took for me to be able to produce this was going into the video transition folder then the adjust folder and the i selcted the ProcAmp that was dragged onto the clip. i then had the video setting which i can then go to and have the ability to change the effects that are done.

Shot List

The shot list is a focus plan to follow before filming so I have a detailed idea of what camera angles, shots and the activities that are going to be taking place in each scenes. the list will provide step by step details of the requirement that are needed for each shot. the list will therefore contain the locations of each shot, the actors included in each shot, the numbers of shots that are going to be included and also short explanation of what is going to be taking place in each shot.
