To create a perfect promotional product for our artist, we had to understand how to turn this music video into it's own product and how to fit certain features together. By doing so, we researched into digipak's and magazine adverts to understand how an artist creates an effective promotional package, and we were able to create our own digipak and magazine advert through the use of photoshop, which was fairly easy to use. We were able to manipulate images of our own to make a successful product, and photoshop provided many effects and colours we could use to our advantage which helped to create an effective promotional package for our audience to consume.

To create our music video, we had to use different technologies to edit the footage we filmed. In order to do so, we used a software called Premier Pro, which is quite easy and clear to use. It contains many different gadgets such as a crop tool and a speed up tool, and also many different effects and transitions, such as fades, which can be easily applied to our music video to make it effective and professional. Using this editing software, we were able to cut clips of our footage and connect it to other parts to create a polished music video and make it successful. We were able to use our editing skills which we learnt from the course to help the music video's success, such as editing to the beat, which we learned was a key convention of a music video.

We also used other websites for our audience feedback, such as survey monkey and facebook, which were effective in providing the information for finding out what music our audiences listen to and understanding our target audience.

We used equipment in our video which we had planned to use, such as our artist's props in the real video; the phone and earphones. We also used a microphone to create the effect that the artist is actually singing and make the video more professional.

To film the music video, we used a Sony HD digital camera recorder, a tripod and in some scenes we used a dolly, which creates a smooth effect for our moving shots. Digital cameras are perfect for high quality filming, creating a clear and great standard video. The camera was very easy to use; we could easily re-film clips if we needed to, and the camera took photos automatically just incase we needed images for further use in our coursework, which came in handy.

The tripod was useful in creating steady, professional shots, and was effective as most of the shots required steady filming.

The very beginning of the creation of our products, we came together as a group and brainstormed different ideas down on a piece of sugar paper to figure out where we want to head with our music video; whether we wanted a pop, rock, country genre, what costumes we thought would be most successful in our chosen genre, what kind of settings and props we would need and how we wanted to conduct the music video itself. We used different coloured pens to display the different parts of the planning and we stuck down certain images we decided on using in our music video.

Blogger was the website we used for our coursework, and we have learned how to talk about research and planning, combining different websites in our blog posts, and presenting a professional way to show how our creativity and skills have developed.
