Evaluation Question 4

Youtube:
We used youtube in the making of our music video to look at other music videos allowing us to look for the conventions of music videos for the genre of our song. Youtube was also a good tool to for finding videos tutorials on how to use photoshop, creating different effects to use for our advert and digtipak. Yotube was also to showcase our music video to larger audience.

Premier Pro:
This was again a good program to use when creating our music video. It allowed to cut parts of the footage we filmed together matching it to the beat making it look professional. It was also what we used to make the titles that feature in our video. I think premier is a good program to use for editing videos because it offers a plenty of different effects for you to use for example in our video the start of one of the shots was shaky but in the video it isn't noticeable because we used a cross fade transition.

Photoshop:
Before I started using photoshop for my ancillary tasks my knowledge of how to use photoshop was quite limited. However I think now that i have made my digipak and advert i feel my knowledge of how to use photoshop has increased to a more intermediate level. This was with the help of instruction from teachers in my media lessons and also watching tutorials to learn different techniques.

Blogger:
This blogging website is what I have been using throughout the duration of my media to publish all of my work like my research and planning, animatic, ancillarly tasks and so on.

Camera:
A camera is a pretty useful peice of equipment when filming, as without it we would have no footage. One thing I liked about this camera was the ablility to play the footage back just after filming, so if there was anything wrong we could quickly re-shoot it.

Survey Monkey:
Survey Monkey is a website used to produce surveys; the link to the survey can then be distributed to those whom you wish to fill in the survey. I like using this website because its a cheap way to distribute  your survey. I used survey monkey to quiz people on things they like to see in music videos and how they watch music videos. The results from the music video allowed my partner and I determine the content of the video.

Prezzi:
Prezi is a website used to produce creative presentations. I used it to make presentations for the pitches I made to my media class pitching my partner and I's ideas for our music video. I like using prezi because  its an alternative way to present a presentation instead of using Microsoft Powerpoint, which can be quite boring sometimes.
