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.

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

these are all my images that could be used for my artists album cover and for my artists advert.

final version of my music video

this is my final cut of my music video, i tried to incorporate all of the feedback that i received from my first rough cut. Some of the things that were suggested to put into the music video was difficult to do, but i tried to show as much of the down to earth pop artist that is my artist.

First version of my music video

After I had finished my first version of my music video superman, I
asked some of my class mates for their opinions on the video and what they
thought would be a good think to change. A lot of ideas were suggested here are
some of them:

• My girl actress looked a bit angry so maybe a different happier looking actress
  would be good to use.
• Breakup some of the footage with images of cartoon superman.
• Some of the lip syncing was not perfect so that needs to be changed.
• Also create a heading at the beginning of the video, with the songs title and the artists name.

I will make these changes to hopefully improve my music video and make
it more interesting and would hopefully portray more of a conventional music
video.
