For this I have used the software QuickTime Player. I have also used this software for almost any clip I have screen recorded for the purpose of creating blog posts and showing examples from our music video or real music videos.]]> 2018-02-02 00:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227324524 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325046 As you can see at the top, there is a gif I have created and at the bottom there is a video which shows how I have done this. I used the website www.ezgif.com for the creation of my gifs. One of the most significant gifs I made was the one above as I have used this in the homepage of my website. This is because it is a very effective way to portray key aspects of my music video ( such as lighting) and I am able to show the smoke rising up without having to put it on a video. I have also used iMovie to cut the video.]]> 2018-02-02 00:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325046 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325072 I have used the website WIX to construct my artist's website. I've used this website as it is very convenient website to create a website due to having templates. Initially, I was editing in the WIX ADI version, however I later switched to WIX EDITOR as it made editing much easier and allowed more changes to the template.]]> 2018-02-02 00:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325072 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325100 The software photoshop played a major role in the construction of my ancillary work. My whole advertising poster was created in Photoshop from the editing of the image to adding texts.

This digital camera was used all throughout the shooting of the music video. From it we used automatic focus, which made filming easier. We also adjusted exposure at times to adjust the amount of light the lens takes in. This is significant because at certain times ]]> 2018-02-02 00:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325136 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325650 I used youtube as a platform to upload small clips, which I would later on use in my blogs. This is because some websites do not allow you to directly upload videos from your laptop/computer (e.g. Emaze). Here is a screenshot of some of the clips I've uploaded in my Youtube account.]]> 2018-02-02 00:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325650 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227325960 Social media such as Twitter and Instagram is used for the advertising of the artist.

Firstly, we imported all the footage from the camera into a video drive, then added clips we wanted to actually use. After everything is imported, we marked and cut the clips to the beat of the song, then started working through the layers of footage.]]> 2018-02-02 09:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227403078 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227403205 We used WhatsApp to communicate in our group. This was done in the planning stage, filming stage and evaluation stage. We first used the group chat to ask each other questions (sending each other planning sheets and dividing the work for our pitch), we also used it to communicate when and where to meet up for filming. More recently, we have been using the group chat to send each other files, such as audience feedback on our music video.]]> 2018-02-02 09:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227403205 diana_sikandar https://padlet.com/diana_sikandar/xg1oujz6457l/wish/227403372 To create presentations for my blogs I have used the websites:
1. Prezi
2.Emaze
3.Padlet
4.VISME
5.Slidebean
6.Canva

Behind it is the IMAC in which I also created blogs and used to edit images. These are much more convenient to use when editing or creating blogs as they have features that are pre-installed (such as QuickTime Player). They are also more compatible with the editing softwares.

In this survey I have asked 10 questions, to help me find the target audience for the artist. The questions consisted of some personal ones, such as way of transport and place of home, plus their music interests.
