Padlet is another IT presentation site like Canva. Padlet works as an interactive platform as it allowed me to include photos, gifs and different videos. To make my work more visually appealing Padlet also allowed me to change the way the background looks, making each post different. In the evaluation stage I've been using Padlet to produce visually appealing responses, including in embedded videos as well as images and gifs.

Throughout the evaluation stage, I made sure I tried to use a range of technologies in order to present my work in a visually appealing way.

Quite similar to Twitter, we used Instagram to update our teachers on filming sessions in our selected locations. However, Instagram is more visual than Twitter, so images of what exactly everyone was doing would be captured and uploaded, alongside our exact location. Instagram alongside Twitter was an essential way of updating our teachers on what we were doing as well as letting them know that we're safe.

Alongside the brand new state of the art camera's, we needed memory cards where the footage of us filming would be stored on. This was a key piece of technology as it allowed us to transfer footage from the camera's into the computers in order to start editing. Instead of just receiving one memory card, we were given two so if we filled up the storage of the first one we could continue editing without any hassle.

Throughout my evaluation stage as well as the planning and construction stage, I used QuickTime as well as a built in screen recorder on my computer to produce many kinds of videos, allowing me to produce and explain work in a more visual aspect. Once I recorded my screen, I would then edit the video upon Premiere Pro.

For the second evaluation question, I presented it upon Canva. Canva is somewhat similar to Prezi and PowerPoint, however it's more visually appealing, basic and beginner friendly than the two others. I also used this presentation site during the other stages, and it allowed me to present my work with appealing images and appealing backgrounds. However, unlike Padlet and the many other IT sites I used in the other stages, Canva doesn't allow gifs or video's to be included, which somewhat leads to a downfall.

Wordpress was the website / technology used in which I embedded and posted blog posts upon. It was used throughout all of the stages (research, planning, construction and evaluation). Alongside this, Wordpress allowed us to do multiple features, such as tagging members of the group in different blog posts, making it easy to embed Padlet presentations or even links. Wordpress also allowed us to change the dates in which our blog posts were posted, allowing us to show each blogpost in the correct order.

Zoho is quite similar to Emaze, as it allowed me to add in images, videos and even videos from YouTube.

MindMeister was also another technology / IT site I was introduced to in A2. I used MindMeister as a way of showing what went on during Editing Sessions in the form of a mind map.

Prezi can be described as a modernised PowerPoint, as it has a more visually appealing way of presenting presentations. I used Prezi during our Pitch to present our shot list in a visually appealing way.

Emaze is a website I was introduced to in AS year. Using Emaze is fairly easy to beginners and it allows work to be visually appealing. Within Emaze, it allows me to include videos and images alongside text.

While planning, I knew I needed to use a wide range of different presentation sites, which was especially necessary when it came to the pitch stage - where we pitched to teachers and peers. Below are screenshots of some of the many different sites I used.

I used multiple IT sites to present my research into Codes and Conventions of the ancillary products as well as marketing techniques that artists of 2017 had used.

In order to have a good music video, it was essential that I conduct research not only on certain music genres but codes and conventions of music videos as well as research upon other music videos for different camera work, editing skills, outfits, locations and different mise-en-scene techniques.

In our planning stages, as a group we concluded that making an Animatic Storyboard, from our hand-drawn storyboard would be rather effective to then help us in later stages (i.e. filming and editing within the construction stage). The animatic was made on Premiere Pro, with scanned images of each part of our music video. This gave us an introduction to editing in Premiere Pro as well as provided insight on how we edit on the beat. The animatic was then posted onto Vimeo, which provided us with a wider knowledge on different technologies where we could release our music video.

During filming and editing sessions, we were requested by our teachers to update them on exactly what we were doing. For this, we decided to be active upon social media, and create further blog posts of each session using Twitter and Instagram. Within these posts, we also shared images and videos to show our teachers what we were doing throughout our time.

As the filming stage came around, we were given brand new state of the art Canon camera's. These are the same camera's that were used to film our music video. Considering they're brand new, the quality of our music video turned out to be very clear, allowing the audience to see every aspect of our music video perfectly. Even though the camera was set on Autofocus, there were times we switched from Automatic to Manual, to practice some skills but I also had some knowledge with the cameras.
