Presentations
Prezi is a more interactive way of displaying my research as it acts as slideshow that can be accessed by the viewer of the work and as much time and freedom can be taken to view the research. I also used Prezi to present my research due to its simplicity and range of customisation tools. Through my research I have made various Prezies and each one is visually different in design, from different types of templates to the general layout of slides. Overall Prezi is an easy and interesting way of displaying information and I found this to be the case through my research as I was more than able when presenting my research. In addition, I used Powtoon which is another creative way of presenting information. Differently to a Prezi, a Powtoon is more of a small film and cannot be controlled by the audience. Powtoon does work in a similar way to Prezi since you can present information with images, videos and text. With Powtoon being timed and like a short film, it allows to add in transitions and animations in order to liven up the presentation and this is turn makes Powtoons slightly more creative than a Prezi. In terms of designing a Powtoon there also is a wide range of customisation and different techniques to use which gave me the ability to create various Powtoons throughout my research that are all unique in their own way. For example you can alter the timings of the Powtoon so even though it is a timed presentation it can be adjusted depending on the amount of information presented which I took advantage of in my research as I often had a great deal of information to convey. Other technologies such as these that I used included google slides and Scribd.

Blogspot.com
The most important form of media technology which I used was blogger, blogger is the domain that I was able to post all of my research, through this I was able to post all of my research and link it so that it was accessible on the blog itself. With external media technologies such as Prezies, Powtoons and YouTube videos blogger allows them to feature through embedding. It was necessary that I used a wide variety of media technologies in order to communicate as effectively as possible, also the fact that I used different ways of presenting information made my blog in terms of research a lot more interesting and fresh.

SoundCloud and Unsigned.com
It was imperative that I researched an artist/band in order to find a song to create our music video with. This artist/band had to be unsigned therefore I had to carry out thorough research into artists that were unsigned but had potential singles that we could use. For this research, I used websites such as soundcloud and unsigned.com due to soundcloud containing a whole section featuring unsigned artists while unsigned.com is a website completely dedicated to unsigned artists. Ultimately we found our band 28 North and their single Los Angeles on unsigned.com, this process was made quite simple as we could refine the search to artists of a particular genre and I already had the indie/rock genre in mind and then the site offered me a variety of results and I found 28 north. This technology is firstly effective for bands as it is an easy way for them to advertise themselves via the internet. In terms of the audience, this technology is again very effective since the songs and albums of these bands is available to be viewed and listened to. Unsigned.com also gives audiences links to the websites and social media of the individual bands which can be very useful for audience members who wish to find out more about the band.

In our preliminary music video, we used various different technologies in order to recreate a music video to the best of our abilities. For example it was necessary that we used a full HD Camera in order to shoot effectively in a good resolution. Along with this, we used a tripod so that we could maintain stable shots and then in post-production we used Pinnacle 19 studios as an editing software which proved to be very effective in our AS final production therefore we saw no reason not to use it again.
