- 2. Research and Planning On the process of making a music video, we used a variety of media programs for the production of our music video. In terms of research and planning, the internet was our main tool in exploring our genre of Hip Hop/Rap and developed ideas from it. YouTube- we used it to research artists and songs that fall into the same genre we chose to do. We also used this to upload our video diaries from filming days. As we all were familiar with YouTube and knew how to use it, we didnt face any problems using it. Google- In terms of researching about the history of our chosen genre (Hip Hop), Google was useful in learning about the historical context and production of the genre. Webs- is a website which allows people to make their own website using their templates. This is what we used for our planning aspects of our music video. As this was a new website introduced to us, we were not aware of how to use it properly, thus took us all some time to get used to the functions of the website. ∈欹毯 share- This is a website based on sharing PowerPoint presentations online. We used this to upload our presentations in relation to the research we conducted of our genre. This website was pretty simple to use, all that was required to do was to upload the PowerPoint and share it on our webs account. Microsoft word- When planning what we are going to film, when and everything we are going to do for this project we used Microsoft word to record this so we could have a hard copy. This was simple as it was just simply typing what we were saying.
- 3. Construction We used these two cameras for the construction aspects. The image on the top is a digital HD camera we used of our artist for our print tasks and to capture things like costumes, settings and so forth to upload onto our webs. The camera below is a HD video camera we used to record our footage. This is a tripod we used called the stabiliser. This tripod enabled us to record the moving shots freely without worrying about moving the whole tripod itself. The lights we used were for the dance scenes. As we did not use professional lights before, we did not know how to use the functions properly. However after playing with the controller keyboard, we managed to find out how to use them. Using final cut pro was something our group was already familiar with. However this time, we needed to make sure that we had had used more effects and transitions in order to reflect our knowledge of final cut pro. Not all members of our group were aware of how to use Photoshop, which was time consuming but we all had a go at it.
- 4. Evaluation For our evaluation questions, we used different programs and websites, so that the concept of each question can be seen in a different approach. We evaluated our work from each stage thoroughly by allocating the four questions to each member of our group. 1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? - For this question, we used Prezi, which is a website where you can make presentations using their templates. Our teacher had suggested that we use as it is different than the ordinary Microsoft PowerPoint . This was a new website introduced to us so only those who felt confident using Prezi used it for their chosen evaluation question. 2) How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? - We also used Prezi for this question again, as we thought itll be convenient to relate the text to the images of our digipak and magazine advert. 3) What have you learned from your audience feedback? - For this question, we decided to do a video on the audience feedback we received on each stage on the construction of our music video. We then uploaded our video evaluation question on YouTube. This was not time consuming, as we already knew what we had to say. 4) How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? - For this question, we used PowerPoint to present the series of media technologies we used in the process of our music video. We thoroughly went through all the programs, software's and equipment we used and stated how we used them.
