4th question - draft 28/01/15

Media technologies have been a massive help to me, they have helped me from the construction and research stages up until the planning and evaluation stages. I have used media technologies such as:


Blogger - Blogger has helped me upload presentations, progress updates and first drafts. Blogger is a place where I can store all my information and work that I have done. it is a very easy website to use and I especially like it because its so easy to receive feedback on.


Prezi - Prezi is a really easy presentation website to use. I have found it really simple to upload images and information onto a range of different prezi layouts and styles. I have done numerous amounts of presentations on Prezi, mainly through my research and planning stages as I had a lot of information to gather and not many places where I could store it at once.


iPads/mobile phones - Apples devices such as the iPad and iPhone have also been very helpful throughout the process. When we miss lessons to go home and film our music video we have to add a progress update onto Blogger. Instead of logging onto a computer or something, I just simply upload a picture of us filming and a short sentence onto my blogger via my mobile phone within a matter or seconds.


Apple Macs - The Apple macs have been the technology that we have used when it comes to post production of the music video. We have used software's such as Final cut pro and motion 5 to edit our footage. Software's like these make it so easy for us to improve our final music video, making sure that Eoghain's lip sinking was in time with the music was no hassle at all and adding animations to the green screen was very easy, although we are yet to explore different animations and to perfect the use of the green screen.


Digital cameras - The Canon camera that we use to film our music video is very helpful. The camera is very steady, can zoom in and out whilst staying very focused and the quality of the footage we get by filming off this camera is extraordinary.


Photoshop - Photoshop has been a massive help to me when it has come down to ancillary tasks. I used my iPhone to take images of Eoghain on and I sent them to my Apple Mac at home which is where I designed my album cover, Photoshop enabled me to edit my artist into a 'perfect human being'. The color of his face which is white smoothly transitioned into the black background which looks really unique and clever.


You tube - Will be a massive help once we have finished our music video, because we can upload our video to you tube to see how many views, comments and likes it gets.


Facebook - This is an excellent way to promote our music video because all our friends and family will be able to see it in which they can share it for others to see.
