During the the making of my music video, I used a wide variety of media technologies right from the research of music videos all the way to my evaluation questions.
First of all the main platform I used was 'Blogger' an internet website where you blog your progress, I used this a lot for recording and planning my ideas to construct my coursework. It was very helpful because I could show the progress I made and how I developed my work overtime into the final product. Its easily organised in categories and also a simple way track my A2 work. But has a few disadvantages as it is limited in terms of actions you can take so hinders the work you can produce, it also takes a long time to upload videos and you can't put Microsoft Word, Powerpoint or Excel on it, and finding an alternative was a problem sometimes. Overall its a helpful software in tracking and showing the progression of my A2 work.
Youtube was also a helpful website during the production of my A2 music video, I used it to research music videos for the planning of it. It was also used for tutorials on how to use softwares such as Premier Pro and Photoshop, where I didn't have much knowledge about these since at AS i only used very basic skills. It was a easy website to use, I could screenshot work and upload videos from it onto my blog to show my ideas. I also used it as a platform for people to access my videos, and receive feedback from them, it was also a way to access them myself to then upload onto Blogger. It has a few disadvantages of being very slow during the upload of my videos but was very helpful to find music videos that could help me to research ideas.
Adobe Premier Pro is an editing software where I used it to put my videos, in particular my music video together. I briefly experimented with it at AS, using the very basic tools to put together a piece of work, but this year the skills I learnt and transferred were a lot more advanced for me enabling for a better outcome of my video. If you compare my AS to A2, you can instantly see a difference in editing and skills, the growth, personally has been big. I previously used the software last year so was briefly familiar with the tools and how it operated in which I could use to my advantage but still had a lot of things to learnt due to the simplicity of the editing from last year. I was able to spend more time working on the actual video rather than how things worked. But did face problems of certain aspects being very complicated to use and difficult to get the hang of, this made it quite time consuming. But overall was a very professional programme to use with a wide spectrum of tools to use creating a better product.
The camera I used to shoot my video was my own, a Canon EOS 1100D digital SLR camera, it was easy to have my own as I know how it works and could use it when ever I wanted, this was particularly helpful since I had to film on multiple occasions adding to my video. This camera quality wasn't the most professional but I could improve it by editing and once it was uploaded to Youtube. I could manually focus in and out of different things whether they were in the foreground or back, it was also very good at capturing the sunset at different angles giving my music video more emotion. It was also used to take the photo for my film poster. The quality was really good, especially of the photographs but it was difficult to take the camera everywhere, as it is quite big and bulky.
Adobe Photoshop was used to edit and create my film poster and album cover. I already knew a few of the tools through using it in my art, but used Youtube a lot to support me in learning new skills to make my poster and cd cover better. It made my work look professional and has lots of tools to experiment with, but some of the effects can be difficult to use and get the hang of, which can be time consuming. I didn't use Photoshop at AS but through editing photos in my art lessons i learnt the simple skills but had to learn a lot more this year at A2.
I also used Prezi for one of my evaluation questions and planning towards my final video ideas. Its good because you can customise it and it has different ways to present your work, you can also include photos and videos to link to the information. But can be time consuming if you haven't used it before.
Google was also a large part of my research, construction and planning process as I researched videos and information about the work to add to my process of the creation of my music video. I also used it to research music video posters and album covers to get inspiration for my Ancillary tasks, on the other hand it doesn't also bring up what you wanted or relevant work, so you have to look through them finding what you need.
