How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Blogger was the main resource I used as I tried to research other videos, techniques and artists in order to gain inspiration for our own video and an idea of what conventions were found in the indie/alternative genre. Blogger was also very useful when it came to the evaluation stage as all of the material we needed was kept on our blog. We always tried to use posts to give us more ideas and to keep in contact with each other as we all had different tasks but wanted to make sure we were all going in the same direction. Final cut was useful as our prior use of the resource allowed us to create a better media product. Its vast number of features meant we could create whatever theme or style we wanted with the shots we took. Photoshop was useful as it allowed us to create our ancillary product to a reasonably high standard. We often found the program to be hard to use as it had many features and completing a simple cover took a long time. Despite our problems with the software it was very useful as it allowed us to use similar colours and styles to our music video which meant we could show a relationship between the products which would mean they promote each other to the audience.
