How did you use media technologies in the construction research and planning and evaluation.

I used Adobe Photoshop for my ancillery tasks I found this very hard to use as even though I had used adobe Photoshop before I still was not very used to it so I did not know how to use all the effects and how to use any of the tools however as I spent more time on my ancillary task I was able to get to grasps with how my ancillary task does work. I did have an idea to use Photoshop in my music video however I realised that that would not work, I wanted to take pictures of houses and upload them into Photoshop and then try and make it look like in the video that they were moving; however I decided not to go with that as i thought that the stop motion was better than doing the houses.

I found the fig rig at times challenging and easy at the same time as I found it challenging as I had never seen it or used something like it before, however I also found it very easy as it made it easier

I then decided to use Lego characters which I felt was a brilliant idea as I had never personally seen Lego characters on a music video before. I decided to make many different sequences with the Lego characters as I wanted them to be in my music video quite a bit. Once I had finished a sequence I put all of the photos together and put them onto I-movie and then I played the movie through making it look like the Lego is moving simultaneously. I used the video camera to film the actual music video I did not feel that this was that challenging for me as i have filmed before for other projects. One idea which I did have that I thought I had never done was using two cameras to film I decided to do this one it would save time and I would be able to experiment with different types of camera angles, two I wanted to track round the singer whilst there was one camera stood still filming to see what I could use that and experiment in final cut.

The media technologies which I used was the fig rig, still camera and video cameras, adobe Photoshop, final cut express and I-movie. When I was filming we used both a still camera and a video camera the reason why we used a still camera is because I wanted to use stop motion in our film. As I wanted our film to consist of some animation, however my ideas did change whilst doing this as I wanted to use clay animation but I was not able to do this as I realised that it would take very long to get it perfect so I then decided to go down a different route

What have I learnt from my audience feedback?

Also got some negative feedback as I was told that I should not of have used so many effects as at times in the video it can drag the attention away from the audience, the other feedback which I got back with was negative was that the stop motion as much as it was a really big hit with the audience some people did say that they did not see what it had to link in with the lyrics

What have I learnt from my audience feedback?

The stop motion was a very big hit with the audience as some had never seen it before or hadn’t used it before; another reason why they thought that the stop motion was good was the fact that we was one of the if not the only group that done it.

What have I learnt from my audience feedback?

The other feedback that we got was that our music video had many conventions of syth pop videos as we had many effects on it and we also had the stop motion
