1. How did you use new media
technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages?

2. SOFTWARE

3. FINAL CUT PRO
• Final cut pro is what we used to create our music
video, this software allowed us to video our own
footage and add it to the song in the background. This
was a good software to use because we were able to
edit the video how we wanted, by adding all of the
clips we had recorded together to create one video. It
was very useful as we could make it look how we
wanted this included adding effects such as black and
white as well as creating the effect were the performer
is seen twice in the same shot.
• Final cut pro was a good software to use as it was very
clear to how it worked and easy to use. It also made it
very easy to edit and to add clips to the video.

4. PHOTOSHOP CS5
• Photoshop is the software we used to create our ancillary
tasks- our digipak and advert.
• For our digipak we wanted it to be very simple but
effective, we simply added four pictures of the performer
to each side of the digipak, this way we could also create a
clear synergy between the 3 products. Photoshop allowed
us to edit the images and add text on top to show the title,
name and the list of songs for the album.
• For the advert/poster we used photoshop to create a
border and added text to it. We also used one of the
images we did for the digipak to show the synergy.
• Photoshop was a good software to sue as we were familiar
to it and is easy to use.

5. WORDPRESS
• Wordpress was the most used website
throughout the project. We used this to
present all of our work on including planning,
research, final products. And evaluating. In
order for us both to use the blog we created a
joint account so we both had access.

6. YOUTUBE
• You tube was another man website we used,
this was used to research existing music
videos and to get inspiration for what we
wanted our music video to be like, as well as
finding a song we wanted to do our video to.
• We also used you tube to upload the video we
created to the blog.

7. HARDWARE

8. CAMERA
• The camera we used to film the video was the
Canon Legria HF r506. this camera enabled us
to film a goof quality high definition shoot.

9. TRIPOD
• We used the tripod to balance the camera on
when filming. This was used so the clips were
steady and the camera was not moving
throughout.
• The tripod was very easy to use with extendable
legs and the camera was very still on top. The
tripod was absolutely necessary to use when in
the process of filming because it kept the footage
still and there was no shaking.
