Before doing any planning or research I created a blog using Blogger. This was the best way to

record all my pre-production, production and post-production and the easiest way organise

my posts with the freedom of editing whenever. In addition, it allowed me to embed videos and

pictures.

I was also able to download the Blogger App on my iPhone which meant I could blog from anywhere with a good 3G connection!

Here’s a screen shot of my blog and the app on my iPhone...

When doing any music video research online, YouTube was the website I used the

most. Here I could watch other music videos, and also watch the scene’s from

When Harry Met Sally.

I also had some help from a similar video sharing website...

When not on the computer I often took advantage of my television when planning

and researching my music video.

I watched 4Music and Viva as much as possible to widen my music video dictionary!

The majority of my music video was shot using a Samsung NX10.

It had a zoom lens and manual focus allowing me more control of my shots.

It was very light and small so I was able to get the shots I wanted without any hassle of manoeuvring the camera.

I also used an 8GB SD Memory card to hold all my footage on.

And after copied it on to my memory stick.

I also used another camera, the Canon 1100D. It was used for a scene in my music video with the children, but was also used for the pictures in my digipak. The manual focus and zoom again let me take my pictures

better.

iPhone

During filming we found that my iPhone was great help. Doing the lip synching with the song playing out loud

was a good idea as it meant it was easier to get the correct timing and beat. I was also able to get the lyrics

up on Safari on my phone!

Photoshop

This was the first time I had used Photoshop and through this process feel like I have learnt a lot. In the beginning I used this programme to change and create certain

pictures. I then took the skills I learnt at the beginning of the year and used them on my

digipak and advertisement. I used tools such as: the cloning tool; magnetic lasso and the

paint brush.

Adobe Premiere Pro

This is the programme I used for the editing of my music video. It allowed me to import all of my footage and the pick out the shots I wanted in my music video. I was able to add in my jump

cuts but using the cutting tool. I was also able to add my fade transition at the end of my music video, play with the colour grading and make my lip synching look on time. I used this last year, and feel fully comfortable with it as an

editing programme!
