Evaluation: Q4

-During our research and planning we used YouTube quite a lot to find music videos that we could then analyse to gather ideas for our own. Google Images also played a big part in our research as we had to find out the image of our artist so we would be able to portray them in the correct way. It allowed us to scan through many different images so we got a very clear idea of how they dress and what they look like.

-To create our website we used Wix website design which was simple to use but had its limits, especially with the selection of fonts that you were able to choose from. Photoshop came in handy for both the digipak designing and website designing as we had edit photos that would appear on the website. IMovie is what we used to edit our video, it allowed us to add certain effects such as fade, slow motion and the overlapping of different shots.

-YouTube again was useful when it came to our audience feedback as we were able to upload our music video and this made it easy for people to locate. Blogger has been useful throughout the planning, construction and evaluation as it has meant that we can easily locate posts and our work is neatly set out

-ITunes was also a helpful music site when transferring the song from a file to our music video we had to put the song from our files onto ITunes and then use ITunes to import the song onto our music video so that we could edit to the song.

-Google image was also useful when it came to editing as well as research because three key images we used in our CD digipak we downloaded from google images to be then edited on photoshop without google images it would have been a lot harder to find these images any where else.

-We used a digital still image camera to take pictures of our artist for the front of the CD digipak and the left side sleeve of our CD digipak. The high quality of this camera was very useful when it came to taking the picture of our artist for the front cover because the image was very sharp and focused compared to a low quality camera the focus helped to clearly see the artist as the focus point of the front of our CD digipak.

-Prezi helped with our evaluation it helped us to present our findings on how technology has helped us to create our media product.

-Another technology that helped us was wordle this helped us to identify the most used word in the audience feedback so we could easily recognise what our target audience thought of our final music video.
