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

2. Blogspot.com
Blogger is an online website which can be
used to post documents ranging from
pieces of text to images to videos and
more. Blogger was one of the most
important forms of technology used
throughout the entire project. It is where
all my pre production, production and post
production work is located. It has
advantages of being able to share work
with my group member quickly and
efficiently, and also provides back up for
any documents or files lost over the
production process as uploading things
onto blogspot.com means your documents
are stored out in cyber space as well as on
your own computer. It was not used to An example of work I posted on blogspot.com
help with planning, research, evaluation or
construction but more as a way to safe
guard and showcase my work.

3. Microsoft Office (Word)
• Planning
• Microsoft word was important in the
planning process as it allowed us to
easily insert images along with text
which was good for displaying our

reasons for our choices.
• Microsoft word is also useful as its
variety of tools allowed for us to easily
create a table to show group roles and
deadlines for tasks which easily
accessible for all members of the group.

4. Microsoft Office (Word)
• Research
• I used Word to conduct my institutional
research. Word allows me to import
images along side text. Which was good
for comparison of record label logo’s
alongside text.
• Evaluation
• In my evaluation I used the tools
provided in Word to create a large
organized table as shown in the image.
This was an important part of my
evaluation as it allowed me to structure
my answers carefully and make them
easy to mark.

5. Youtube.com
• Research
• I used Youtube.com as a way to show
my collected footage on my blog. Also
I used it to access the music videos
that I analysed.
• Planning
• I used Youtube.com to host different
song choices. It was useful at the
beginning of our project as I could
host different song possibilities in the
same place.

6. iMovie HD
• I used iMovie HD to upload and edit my
music video. It was my first time using
iMovie to edit as last year I took on a
different role in the group. I learnt
editing techniques that apply not only to
video editing but also editing concepts
used in photography such as the use of
the effect Sepia. Using iMovie HD to edit
my work taught me the important skills
that relate not only to the editing of
video clips but the editing of sound. It
lead me to use a program called
Audacity specifically used for splicing
and editing audio clips. It was used only
to edit my video but used once in
planning in which I practiced the use of
invisible edits.

7. Photoshop
• Construction
• Photoshop was used only in the construction of the Digipack and the
poster. When using Photoshop I learnt to the magic wand tool to help
me outline and choose with great precision the parts of the photo I
wanted to eliminate and highlight. Photoshop was also useful for
highlighting different fonts and creating a motif.
