EValuation question 4
- 1.
- 2. Blogger Youtube Prezi PowerPoint Survey monkey IMacs camera Storyboardmaker.com Sound cloud Photoshop Final cut pro x List of digital technologies we have used in documenting our construction Due to this being our second year of creating products we had gained skills from last year and this year which aided us in the creation of this music video. These apps and websites have enriched me in ways to present my information, they made the boring information stand out more and seem more appealing due to these presentation methods. These methods made boring text come alive due to audio recordings of the text and visual ones as well which were posted on youtube and sound cloud. Technology is a dynamic market where new apps come out and each new app changes the way words are presented on the screen and in my journey I have used the most out of these applications . Prezi, PowerPoint, youtube videos and podcasts are digital technologies which I used to present my information which are evident on my blog, these were used for construction, pre production and post production
- 3. We documentedout journey on blogger documenting our research which varied from researching costume, location song lyrics and artists to posting final video. we did group posts tagged each person and were able to insert gifs,videos links into blogger for a clearer understanding and back up of information we have presented. Blogger allowed us to change the date of posting, add tags and change the layout of our page to suit our personality. Blogger allowed us to use the platform to show our personality though it and our journey of creating the final music video. Blogger was used in pre production for research and post production to show our progression from rough cut of editing to final cut which shows how we have improved. Advantage of Blogger as a documenting platform: Easy to use as it has a simple layout Can insert Gifs, videos and links to back up information Disadvantage of blogger Website can crash which means work can be lost Website has a certain alignment for videos you cant have text next to video. Preproduction and post production
- 4. We used thismedia technology to research songs which are copyright free, it allowed us to listen to the song in high quality audio and it allowed us to have wider reach to the artist as their social media links were in the description. We also used this website to post our constructions when filming, our research e.g. technical skills such as our first use of the camera setting such as testing out angles and settings. This website allowed us to find and research rap genres and what kind of visuals they include which we would include in our music video such as showing of jewellery, logos and dance moves. One music video we watched was ‘Abstracts’ song and beat Advantage of youtube for research: Has comment section for audiences to post their thought about video Free to post, free to view and our target market watch use this app which means that they will be leaving comments/opinions. You can search the genre and song will come up Disadvantage of Youtube: Videos can become private so they wont appear on everyone's search Videos take long time to upload and upload can impact the quality of video Media technologies used in research stage youtube
- 5. The internetwas key in our research that’s where we were able to collate a mood board on locations & clothing's. this allowed us to have a visual idea on what we aim our music video to be based around. We used Google chrome and Internet explorer. We used websites such as Google to research the location of the waterloo tunnel and the distance to get to it. Before hand we were able to go on google images to view the location to see if we can visualise it with our song. We also were able to watch and go on youtube to watch real music videos such as ‘Drakes song jump man’ or ‘Little Uzi vert ‘more life’. Once we found our rapper to use we needed to research the lyrics of the song and the meaning behind it so that we were able to use props to march the words being said Advantage of using the internet for research: When researching location we can see distance, images and related locations Easy to use, what you search is what it shows so its accurate to your search We searched rap genre and songs came up, articles on their style and popularity Disadvantages of using the internet as research: Could be personal opinion s which can impact an article Websites can be unavailable & search engines take long to load Information can be inaccurate & can be edited (Wikipedia info). Media technologies used in research stage
- 6. We neededto find rappers which are unsigned and don’t have copyrighted songs which meant that sound cloud was perfect as people post all genres on this website. This site promoted unsigned artists which made our research easier as it was all in one place. This allowed us to find rappers which was shown on my blogger. You can see the artists other songs and related songs Can search for songs based on genre so rap,hip hop. Advantage of using sound cloud for research: Easy layout as their music is at the press of a button All artists are unsigned so that it means we can browse all genres and if we liked a song we would be sure its available to us. Disadvantage of using sound cloud for research: You cant see a visual of song its just audio so hard to tell style of rapper Rappers might include swear words which means it limits our usage of songs Media technologies used in research stage Soundcloud
- 7. When wewere searching for songs we used this to find un signed artists or not copyrighted songs. This also lead us to their social media links such as Instagram & Facebook to contact them for permission to use the song. We found their followers so we had an idea on their media publicity which gave an idea that they are a small rapper who with our video we can make them known We needed to contact the rapper ‘Chris yonge’ once we found his song and we contacted him through Instagram. We though it’s the best way to contact him as we all use Instagram which is why we chose to contact him there Media technologies used in research stage Social media Advantage of using social media in research: We can see comments on his Instagram based on his song and his popularity Easier to contact him,its faster than sending an email which he might not see Disadvantage of using social media in research: Not much information can be taken out of reseraching their social media
- 8. When creatingour research we needed ways to portray our discussions which is why we used photo booth which was on the iMacs to portray our research into genre, our initial ideas and group pitches which gave a bigger insight on what we want to focus on and what we should improve. We used this digital media to portray our audience feedback and to document their responses, facial expression which gives authenticity as it shows how they respond to our ideas on animatic or storyboard. Can get large groups of people to feedback as well as individuals. Advantage of using iMac's and photo booth in research: We can display our audiences Reponses and emotions We can focus on what stages in our storyboard the audiences liked/disliked Disadvantage of using Imacs and photobooth in research: If there are akward pauses we have to edit the clip on Final cut pro x Not everyone wants to be filmed so it reduces our usage of technology Media technologies used in research stage Imacs and Photobooth
- 9. We hadused the internet to plan our digipak so we had to find out what they are as we didn’t know what it was. Then we were ale to plan and compare artists digipacks such as Beyoncé or Rihanna's digipak which aided us with the creation of our own digipak. We later found out that there are many digipacks such as 4 nets, 5 nets which really broadened our views on digipacks which wouldn't happen if we didn’t have the access to real samples and the internet such as google. With planning being done on digipaks we were able to focus on how and what should be portrayed in them such as in our idea we would add graffiti as it matches our song (music video location). We were able to select a specific net and then plan it as shown which wouldn't happen without internet and new digital technology as we wouldn’t know what to put on them. Planning and the use of media technology
- 10. When creatinga storyboard we had to go on storyboard marker website online as we though that creating a cartoon version of our vision for rap video would be better than a hand drawn and black and white one. We needed to find images which we want to include in our storyboard such as a picture of a person in a car so we had to Go on google to find images which we want to create in our video. From this we had to create an animatic to show at what parts of the song we will have what image at. So we had to use the pictures from storyboard and edit it onto final cut pro to edit the song and add pauses and black screens to add pace. Planning and the use of media technology on storyboard and animatic
- 11. When makinga timeline we needed to use the internet to create a timeline which can clearly show our deadlines we used Timegraphics.com to create it & the internet helped us in creating it. We used internet to help us plan what shots we want, so we used youtube to watch videos on previous rap videos and we focused on what shots they took and made which aided us with the creation of the shot list. In planning we used digital technology to plan what we need for what location, we used the timeline to plan the days when we film but for that to happen we planned out what equipment is needed to be brought on those days. Planning and the use of media technology on timeline, shot list and Equipment needed
- 12. Because weare not experienced in using Photoshop we had to research beforehand how to use the tools on it such as the background remover and the layering. We used youtube to plan and watch videos on how to create and merge two photos together. we also focused on final cut pro, we Researched how to use it with transitions. As From our previous research we saw that Transitions pay a big role in rap music video Advantage of reserching these: We had a bigger insight and felt more comfortable in editing videos Photoshop is a hard programme but youtube helps with tutorials how to get and do certain edits. Professionals use this software so we thought that researching this was key in creating our music video poster Planning and the use of media technology on final cut pro and Photoshop
- 13. We usedthis camera for the creation of our music video. We were familiar with this camera as we have used it before but we did do research on ISO, Shutter speed, Focus and Rule of thirds which is essential to know when filming. This camera allowed us to capture the object in front of the camera (rapper) in different angles and focuses which created different effects on the atmosphere when the rapper is rapping.we were zooming in and out due to the lens which linked to real rap videos. We were able to shot pictures for digipak and film shots for music video Auto focus made it easier to film while walking so its easy to get smooth shots. Advantage of the DSLR Camera: Lens allowed greater definition which gave our music video high quality High quality in low light.we filmed in tunnel and the noise on camera was small Touch screen and adjustable screen which allows to shoot difficult angles Disadvantage of the DSRL Camera: Short battery life which means that the time filming is limited The SD card fills up quickly so its hard to film multiple shots if there is one card Construction and the use of media technologies (DSLR Camera)
- 14. When constructingwe had to research how to use certain settings on the camera, we researched rule of thirds and how to apply it.Additionally based on past research we found that rappers sing in the 2/3 of the 3/3 which means that this setting is key in our convention of rap genre in our video Construction/Research and the use of media technologies (DSLR Camera) We also had to research how to use lighting so we had to research using the internet which paid off as we needed to adjust the colours and add lights in our music video. So before we constructed we looked at research and with this research we were able to create and use lighting effectively in our video.
- 15. IPhone 6swas used to record behind the scenes and a little vlog of the location and the times we went to the location. This phone created construction posts for our blog which was documented through the phone posted on youtube and embedded onto blogger. We wouldn't have this footage without the digital technology as we documented how we carried our equipment, how we layered it out and health and safety which without this it would reduce our evidence of us following guidelines and our time spent at locations. Construction and the use of media technologies
- 16. We filmedat night which meant that there was lots of noise on the camera which ruined some shots and we filmed in the graffiti tunnel so it was dark. We overcome this problem as we used Final cut pro to reduce the on screen noise. We planned a party scene where we wanted to have dancers in the scene and shot however they had a different time table to us so we couldn’t find a day where they could come. We ended up with using our main character as the only dancer and just made a party scene where it shows teens having a good time. We had corrupted files which meant we had to reshoot some scenes however from this we learnt to save files on 2 devices the SD card and a computer so that the files don’t get lost or corrupted again Construction problems and how we overcame them
- 17. PowerPoint hasbeen evident in my research and planning, its easy to use and has to many options to alter images such as by removing its background or even colour correcting images. It has a wide variety of images and text boxes which can change how we display our image. PowerPoint can make the information on the page more spread out than writing a simple blog which is why it is a better option in having paragraphs split into sentences with pictures to back it up Advantages of using PowerPoint Pre set layouts are shown and the text is customisable Has tools for text, images and arrows which made information more visual Disadvantages of using PowerPoint: Cant include gifs which can emphasise our points No videos can be added so if we want to do podcasts or add a video commentary we cant do that Evaluation and the use of media technologies(powerpoint)
- 18. Prezi thismethod was used evidently in my blog as it can be embedded in the blog. It presents information in a moving motion, it makes visual information move and spaces it out similarly to PowerPoint. It’s useful in spacing out lots of information as it has pre set templates which can help with choosing a background to support the information . E.g. using a curtain background when you are talking about drama or acting. Advantage of using Prezi as a documenting method: Its free, it has a unique layout and can add links, videos and gifs. It can engage audience as it spaces our information Includes movement and transitions Disadvantage of using it as a documenting method: Takes time to create May crash sometimes when adding photos Evaluation and the use of media technologies (prezi)
- 19. Advantage of usingyoutube and gifs Short clips but can be clear in what they are showing Youtube makes videos more visual which intrigues Disadvantage of using youtube and Gifs: The videos can be taken down if copyright music is added Gifs can become corrupted Evaluation and the use of media technologies(gifs and Youtube) When evaluating our products we use different methods of presentation such as Gifs and youtube these are important as with youtube we can add visuals and text on screen once its edited and present it in picture commentary. Youtube allows picture on picture commentary to be posted, we can have captioned images, voice over on pictures on screen ,podcast ,directors commentary can be posted on youtube. This can be present in our animatic and audience feedback which was shown though youtube Youtube allows information to be visually presented which would increase the emphasis of information as too much written information will not intrigue anyone. Without this digital technology information would be presented in a boring way
- 20. Blogger This isour blog, we were able to change the background to fit our personalities so we decided to go with a graffiti type. Blogger was the key technology which we used. This showed our journey of research, planning and construction to create the final product. We used this platform to answer evaluation questions as it has a clear layout which is easy to follow when reading. We can highlight to emphasise key words, add pictures and gifs to back up our research e.g. gif from a real music video compared to a shot from our music video. With the use of blogger we were able to show comparisons and display all our research in one place. Evaluation and the use of media technologies
- 21. New mediatechnologies have been used in my presentation of work throughout the creation of the music video. Throughout our creation of the video, we used digital technology in preproduction (research and planning), production and post production (evaluation). Looking back retrospectively I see that digital technology has been used effectively throughout our preproduction, production and post production. We used lots of different methods to present our information such as Prezi, PowerPoint and gifs. conclusion • I’ve noticed that without these digital technologies my blog would be plain as the text wouldn’t be as visual as we would like it. Which shows how digital technology can make our journey of making the music video more interesting as it shows different methods of presenting information.
