Evaluation Question 4 : How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

The primary piece of technology we have used throughout our process was Blogger.

We have used Blogger extensively to document the process of the production of our music video. Blogger involves regularly posting updates and in our case including multimedia elements such as embedding videos from YouTube and uploading photographs.

In order to use Blogger we have been spending a majority of our time in the media suit using the macs. Below are images of the kinds of macs we have been using:

Using the macs involved learning a range of new technical skills such as creating new tabs, copy and pasting and such which are all specifically different and tailored to Apple PC products.

To edit our main product we used Final Cut pro which is an industry standard editing suit. In order to operate the programme we have spent the last 2 years learning the ins and outs of the programme; from desaturating shots, to using the cutting tools and altering the timing and colouration of the shots.

When researching our band and other elements in our production process such as digipack research, we used google.

Google is the world's top choice search engine which we used to surf the net for information on our band and also used it as a portal to other websites. For example YouTube:

We used youtube to upload our video and access our audience feed back, we also used facebook as it is the most popular social networking site.
