Software and Online Tools

0Throughout the construction of my research, planning and evaluation stages in the creation of my product I had to ensure that I documented all of my research properly, using a verity of software and online tools enabled me to do this.

Blogger 0Blogger was the main source for documenting my

research and planning elements. Almost like a diary, I was able to plan my very first ideas for my music video to posting up the finished product. On blogger I stored information on my chosen target audience and genre of my upcoming product, to my first editing task on premiere pro. Blogger enabled me to upload videos and pictures giving people a bigger insight of the process of creating my product.

processes of my product. It enabled me to gain a better understanding of my chosen genre for my music video and also my target audience.

YouTube 0 YouTube was a big part of my planning and research

stages as I was able to search for videos that could give me inspiration on a storyline as well as helping me decide on a song choice to use for my music video. I also used YouTube to store all of my video’s made including my audience feedback and my finalised product. To do this I created a YouTube channel and was able to search pretty much anything to help me with my product for example: inspirational music videos, conventions used in indie music videos, indie artists, shots and camera angles. This networking site helped me considerably in these stages.

Prezi0Prezi is a fun way to make a presentation, it presents

your work in a aesthetically pleasing format, I used prezi as an alternative to PowerPoint as I believe it is more technological and presents your work in more of a professional way. I used prezi to document my recce for my photo-shoot with Sarah Jane

Slide Share0 I used slide share in order to upload my presentations

from PowerPoint to the web, enabling me to gain feedback in their comment box they provide from my target audience. Slide share helped me upload power points more easily to blogger. Therefore I could access them more easily and upload them in no time.

Facebook 0Facebook enabled me to get in touch with people

fairly easily, I used Facebook to contact my actors as it has a a tool where you can create a group message, I used this for actors: Lewis, Shannon and Sarah, I also used Facebook to contact Glassnote Records (the record label owning my chosen song ‘Candles’) facebook made this easy for me to do as I typed in the search bar the production company and it allowed me to message them without any complications.

Apple Mac’s As the college is equipped with apple macs, as these computers are embedded with the most recent technologies, it made it easier as a media student to make my products as they had the correct software on them for example: premiere pro and Photoshop for my main product and ancillary tasks.

Premiere Pro0 I used this programme to piece together my final task

of a music video. Premiere Pro enabled me to create my product in a simple and effective way, I was able to import my videos and add them to my timeline aswell as cutting the clips down and drag and drop them onto my timeline. Able to then piece the story line together. I also used one of their tools to cut my performance aspect of the video to fit with the sync.

PhotoshopI used Photoshop to edit together my chosen brief of a digi pac and a magazine front cover, I decided to use Photoshop as this is the software I used last year to create my magazine, therefore I had a great understanding of the programme therefore I was able to get on with my product quickly and know what tools are used and how to create a successful product.

Camcorder 0The camcorder I used was a Toshiba Camelio I did

have a lot off issues with this camera concerning the battery life and image quality in darkness. However, I have completed my product and it looks presentable. I have included below some facts about the camera.

Professional Camera 0 The camera I used to capture my shots for my

photoshoot Canon EOS 450D with a 12.2MP sensor with a 18mm-55mm lens, the flash heads are Lencarta Smart Flash 200 (200 Watts). The light modifiers used on the flash heads were a 80cm Octabox, 60cm x 60cm Softbox and standard spill kill reflectors. This camera was perfect for my product, it gave my photographs the professional look I was going for, the eye detectors that were built in enabled me to line up my models eyes with two pin points on the screen to give my photos the sharp edge, making it look professional.

enabling me to gain the best quality pictures possible. Above there is a photograph containing all equipment I used, including the hood lamps to
