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

The range of media we have used are;













All of these programmes were used during our coursework stage of our A2 course.
 iDVD, iMovie, YouTube, iTunes and Premiere Pro were all used to create the music video; Photoshop and Flickr were used for the digipak and poster ancillary products. The other programes: Twitter, Facebook, Tube Chop, Blogger, and the iPhone camera were used for publicising our products, research and planning, and showing proof of our own work (iPhone camera and Blogger). We also used the weather app to try and predict a good day for filming outside e.g. coffin, boat, forest, hill etc. Other apps we used are the phone call and text messaging apps to stay in touch and keep each other up to date with filming schedules; also Instagram to take some pictures for ideas for my digipak and poster products.
The three cameras we used are Sony NEX5-5, Sony NEX5-7 and Canon SLR 1000D; the two Sony HD video cameras are both very similar models which is how we managed to get a vivid matching picture throughout our filming.
Meg also used Animoto when creating our 25 word pitch, she used this because you can create a form of video to present our words and images in a more creative way than a PowerPoint presentation for example. Harry's MacBook Pro is the piece of equipment we used to edit our music video on, as well as Harry creating the animoto video on; he used a scanner and photocopier to produce copies of the storyboard (created by myself and Meg) and to upload the storyboard frames onto the Mac.
Another piece of technology we used whilst filming were my Logitech laptop speakers that we plugged into Harry's Macbook Pro to produce a louder sound when the band were performing so that Steve (lead singer) had more confidence to sing aloud.
