It was vital to use blogger, or I wouldn't have been able to show all of my posts, and although the format is quite plain so I tried to use it as little as possible, it worked well when typing little amounts of text straight onto a post.]]> 2018-02-15 09:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231822178 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231823062 Facebook was important in the research stage process. Knowing the social platform has such a big following with lots of active users, we took advantage and distributed our survey. Therefore, we received a range of feedback from a variety of different audiences, helping us recognise what conventions audiences expect from our genre and from what ages/genders.]]> 2018-02-15 09:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231823062 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231824168 I used Prezi often during the course. Its ideal when analysing music videos due to its interactive format of exploring different ideas. So i could insert images and annotate each freeze frame as the user clicks along. It was also great for the evaluation question 2, allowing me to present a long piece of text in a more visually appealing manner in contrast to just text inserted to blogger. ]]> 2018-02-15 09:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231824168 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231825443 Powerpoint was an essential media technology in all areas of the course. I often used powerpoint slides to present research tasks, feedback results, drafts of the digipack and more. By saving the slide as a JPEG, I could insert the image directly to blogger, and I would often apply bold font or a colourful background, features unavailable in blogger. In addition, Slide-share served as a software to present the power points. The presentations couldn't be inserted into blogger on there own, so this enabled me to embed them onto the site.]]> 2018-02-15 09:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231825443 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231826817 2018-02-15 09:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231826817 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231827502 The questionnaire software was used when researching the genre and the conventions it entails. I used it to recognise ,first hand from other peoples opinions, what audiences might expect in our music video and it was pivotal in helping us create the narrative. For example; we asked should the video leave on a cliffhanger, and due to an overwhelming response against the idea, we didn't use it.]]> 2018-02-15 09:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231827502 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231828214 The camera enabled us to film our product, to be transferred to the computer and then be edited. The bulk of filming was used on the Cannon DSLR; its great battery life and sharp video quality was ideal to record with. Also, we used the Nikon camera to catch different angles of the same shot. This benefited our product because of its crisp camera quality, especially in low lighting during the singing performance scenes. Finally, we utilised the GoPro to film high angles, taping it to a stick and holding it up to film the band. This wouldn't have been possible with other cameras, therefore this device was vital in the constructing our product.

So we had more than enough space and this also served as an extra version of the footage after we uploaded it to the mac, in case it became corrupted or lost.]]> 2018-02-15 10:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231830384 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231830957 Video editing software was clearly vital when editing our product but I often used video to present a range of different posts in relation to all processes of the course. IMovie was an easy to use software, allowing me to present posts in video. I used it for the editing updates, giving the video evidence of what we were doing and I could present the visual storyboard, inserting the shot photos and adding captions. On the other hand, Final Cut Pro was a much more intricate software, and me and my partner used this to our benefit. We tried various transitions, sound effects and filters to utilise the software to its full potential. This resulted in lots of changes to our raw footage including; black and white filter to begin the product, various transitions to heighten the dramatic build up and a reverse shot of the singer jumping down. Finally Premier Elements had all the features needed to create the video filming updates. Adding music and cool transitions helped us create a positive and entwining video vlog.]]> 2018-02-15 10:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231830957 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834192 The mind map software was much better than drawing mind maps. Its simple interface allows users to control where they look and I used it to present little bits of text. ]]> 2018-02-15 10:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834192 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834814 Youtube allowed us to upload our drafts and ultimate product and upload it to blogger, due to blogger only having a maximum of 100mb per video upload. But I took advantage of this, embedding all of my video posts and also existing products that I had annotated, so users could watch the video straight from my post and then see the annotations. ]]> 2018-02-15 10:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834814 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834855 The interactive presentation software is like another version of Prezi; but with cartoon graphics it was ideal to present the detailed planning that had lots of text.]]> 2018-02-15 10:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834855 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834905 The primary use of Gmail was to email the record label that signed the Script for a permission request to use their song. But I also found myself using it lots more than expected, emailing myself research tasks and unfinished posts that I could access on all devices, to work on at home or college.

I could annotate existing products using the internet and recognise what theories to apply after researching them online. Also, it enabled me to use lots of software's like Prezi, Youtube, Emaze, Survey Monkey, social media and more.]]> 2018-02-15 10:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231834946 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231838290 Glogster was used to present posts in a poster format; however it was interactive. Therefore, presenting my appliance of narrative theory, users could watch the video and scroll down on the text to read the sentences.]]> 2018-02-15 10:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231838290 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231839925 My laptop is slow and compared to the mac and not a very fast device. However, it allowed me to work away from college on lots of tasks. Therefore, it was ideal to type up research and work on my blog, while at college I could focus on editing,]]> 2018-02-15 10:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231839925 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231839951 Fireworks was a good software with a variety of features. However, we decided to not use this because it was quite slow and we wanted an easier interface. So we edited the digipack on a Macbook using Adobe Photoshop because of its great features, enabling us to darken the colour, add text and insert the symbol of the Script. Ultimately this benefited our product, allowing us to produce an album with 6 panels and an advert poster.]]> 2018-02-15 10:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231839951 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231840015 We edited all our footage on this device. It was quicker than most computers and was vital in us creating a finalised product. It also had internet access, helping us to gather sound effects in the post production stage of the course. ]]> 2018-02-15 10:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231840015 williambrook8 https://padlet.com/williambrook8/2qe579p906c9/wish/231840052 The mac book was used to photo edit our digipack.
