From making my product to making my ancillaries I have used
a wide range of different media technologies in order to help me plan my
products, make my products and evaluate it all. Media technologies have really
helped me to expand my knowledge and make them the best that they can be.
Research and Planning
The main media technologies that I used for this section of
my product making was web 2.0 this is essential the internet and by using the
internet it allowed me to get a better idea of what I wanted to create and
allowed me to use and adapt other peoples ideas. I firstly started of using
YouTube to find out more what student music videos and short films look like,
this really helped me decide which video I wanted to create, I looked at
various different video to give me an idea what I could do on a very low budget
film. I thought that it would be better for me to make a music video because I
was working on my own I thought that this way I wouldn’t have to sort out
equipment for sound because it would just be the soundtrack and also this would
be time consuming and I was working on my own. I then expanded my knowledge by
looking at other music videos on YouTube to give me an idea of what I could use
in my video. I deconstructed many different music videos like the Bastille
Oblivion music video, which I used the idea of going again the conventions of a
male singing and they used a female as the main protagonist, which is what I
used for my video. I also used pinterest to generate costume ideas for what my
main protagonist could wear. I also made
a pinterest page on shots that I could use throughout the video this helped me
to start thinking about a storyboard and what shots I wanted to include. I then
went on to making a animatic which is essentially a storyboard of photos but
its put into a video so that it gives you a better idea of how it might look
before going out and filming it. I thought this was very helpful for this task
I used Premiere pro in order to make the video.
The making of the film.
In the making of the film I used my Canon 100D camera in
order to shoot the film. i thought that this camera was really good for what I
wanted it for it was easy to use and it was easy to transfer the footage onto
the computer.
I did all of the editing of the music video on Premiere Pro
this allowed me to have many different settings and effects that I could paly
around with making my video better and more eye catching. When editing the film I tried to use my
animatic to help me edit but my ideas had changed a lot so I had that as a back
up and just edited the way I thought it looked better. Because Premiere Pro has many different
effects it allowed me to make the drumming sequence more vibrant by changing
the colour and saturation of some of the shots so that they contrasted each
other really well. I also used Adobe encoder in order to export my video. This
meant that I could show people my video throughout different stages of the
filming and editing. This allowed me to get feedback from my target audience to
make my video better and more tailored to my target audience. I uploaded my
videos to YouTube so that I could embed it onto my blog and this also meant that
they public could see my work and leave a comment.
Evaluation
For the evaluation process I used different media
technologies to show what I had learnt throughout the process. I used sites
such as Emaze, Prezi and wordle to show what I have learnt about the process and
what convention I used and how I made my final products. I also used blogger to
show the development process throughout the making of my products. I thought
that by doing a blog alongside making my main product it meant that I could
refer back to the posts making the evaluation question easier to write about. I
think that by using different media technologies it has allowed me to be more
creative and have more of an idea of what my product might look like when
finished. I think that the key point was using Web 2.0 for researching the task
and making the evaluation questions.
