When it came to media technology and showing the work I had done, I used a blog site called blogger.com. This allowed me to write posts and share my research, planning and the final product on to my very own blog. By doing this, it allows other people who have a blogger account to view my blog and leave comments if they want to. I was able to look back over the previous work i had done and I could also change anything that I thought needed improving. I decided to put my video on social sites such as YouTube and Facebook, this allowed me to share my video and work with people around the world and also of my own age, particularly my target audience.
When I started my research I relied on media technology a lot especially the internet as Google was a very reliable source. I also looked across YouTube for other A2 music videos, to get an idea and to see how professional other peoples work looked at this level. I also used the internet for websites such as Facebook, to share my video socially for audience feedback. Another website i used was slideshare, here i uploaded a powerpoint presentation onto my account on the website, this was to pitch my video to the audience. I also used a useful website called weebly, this was where I made the website for my band. I used the classic pen and paper to plan for my music video and also took lots of pictures of evidence of my research and planning and uploaded them to my blog. However I decided not to make any storyboards due to the fact I can't draw and also because I didn't really have a real narrative structure in my music video. Also because I was the only person working on my video, I knew what ideas I had in mind and I didn't need to share them.
Whilst out filming my video I used many media technologies that helped me to achieve the high standard of video I was aiming for. I took pictures of 'behind the scenes' with my iPhone 5, this is very high technology with a good camera. When it came to actually recording the footage and taking photos for the music video I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ10EB camera, this is a very professional and good quality camera that took decent footage and images for my video. Hardware within media technology was evident in the editing process as I used my MacBook Air which has a top editing software that many professionals use called Final Cut Pro X on it. This allowed me to edit at a high standard and use many techniques that others who don't have this software wouldn't be able to use. When I started the editing process I imported my chosen song as an mp3 format into Final Cut, I had already downloaded the song previously. Again this shows how I have used many different types of media technologies to help me research, plan, construct and evaluate my music video.
Overall, when it comes to evaluating my work the media technology i used the most was blogger.com. I used this website from start to finish whilst working on my product, this was to show every aspect that I did to create my final music video. From the research of the band and theorists, to planning with screenshots and finally audience feedback etc. It would have been impossible to even attempt this project if it wasn't for the media technologies we have today.
