Q3. Technologies
-
Research - Simple word docs embedded images&videos
-
(collages, gifs, prezi, animations)
-
Internet for research - FireFox, Safari, &GoogleChrome
To access many previous videos, images, theories, and conventions, the primary tool I used was the internet. (Particularly good old Google) -
Planning: iPhone Whatsapp to keep in touch with eachother & ideas
-
Production: setting up social networks
We created a twitter and instagram account to keep our teachers updated with our progress and also gather a fanbase -
Filming with JVC CAMERAS
We used HD JVC Video cameras to shoot the video - it included useful features such as manual/auto focusing and zoom. -
SD Memory Cards
Of course our footage wouldn't have been saved and transferred to the Mac's without memory cards! We tried to keep them all on one card -
Video Drives
We stored all of the basetracks and organized them into folders on here. Then continued to save any process we made in the editing later on... -
Editing on Final Cut Pro
The sotware we used to edit and produce our final music video was Final Cut Pro which enabled us to import clips, edit them, and add effects. -
VIMEO - Posting finished video
We exported our final cut music video as a quicktime movie and it was distributed on Vimeo for other viewers/students to see. -
HMV (and other cd retailer) website
as the world is now so technological, I was able to view the conventions of CD covers online instead of travelling all the way to the shop. I noticed continous conventions such as the artist's name being the largest piece of text. -
DSLR Canon 7D - to shoot promotional ancillary images
We used this HD digital camera to shoot in both internal and external locations. Adjusting the manual focus to blur out the background and focus on the artist. We applied the flash for the pictures taken indoors to enhance quality and ensure that it was a clear image of the artist to allow a clear and recognisable brand image -
Photoshop - Starting the digipak
Downloading the 2 panel template, I imported my chosen images into photoshop and began to add text (album title and artist name) and alter the image enhancing the brightness levels/colour highlights etc. -
Back to Blogger
We're now back to focusing on blogging again! (Evaluation)
