Evaluation Question - 4

EVALUATION 4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?



I used lots of different types of technology to create my music video and ancillary tasks. I used different sorts of hardware and different sorts of software. For my planning and designing phase I used mainly the internet and Google so that I could look at examples and evaluate already examples. I also used YouTube to view different types of videos that I could use some ideas for, for my video.  I mainly used a camcorder and tripod to film all of my footage except the movement and panning, I also used a camera to take all the images for my ancillary tasks such as my advert and album cover. I used a hard drive to save all of my footage on as it was very large and my computer couldn’t store it all. The software I used a lot was adobe premier and adobe Photoshop, I uses premiere to edit and create my music video. I used Photoshop to create my advert and Digi pack. I used xtranormal in my evaluation phase to create some of my evaluation to make it more interesting. I also used Blogger lots of time throughout the product to keep a track of my progress and my journey of the project.

Evaluation Question -3


EVALUATION 3. What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

I have created these to evaluate this question.

this one is on just my music video

and this one is on my over all ancillary tasks

Evualtion - Question One

EVALUATION 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?




Construction: Advert



This is the advert that I have created for the promotion of the album for my artists Dexter. I did several versions of this advert but this is the one that I have settled on for my promotion. I feel that the interetextualty of this image and how powerful the image is, is all that is needed for this advert because it is subtle and doesn't need any think fancy. I asked several of my peer if they understand what this advert is selling. They said they liked the colours and how much the artist stands out and they said that they feel it is very obvious what the advert is trying to sell to the audience.

Construction: Ancillary Tasks




These are my ancillary tasks for my album. These are my final versions for my digi pack, i took lots of different advice from some of my peers to get them to where they are now. The other versions of my digi pack were quite subtle and that artist didn't stick out form the back ground. i had to change lots of effects of the images so that the artist did stand out from the background. 

i also have tried to follow lots of the codes and conventions of an album with the small print on the back of the album, the logo of the record company that produced this album and the barcode on the back. i think these small things make this album more professional. i also used similar shots of the artist that you may see in the music video. i did this so that the audience would be able to create the relationship between all of my ancillary tasks
