4) how did you see new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages

whilst making our music video was used many new technologies to construct our work. using the new technology all in which helped our music video be the best to our ability. the technology that where used was I,Mac computers, high definition camears to make our work even better when we filmed it. tri pod whilst we filmed so it didn't make our work shake and it was a nice still image. and final cut software which was also on the I Mac this helped us do our editing and finish our work on time! by having all these new technologies made it alot easier as filming process was cut to alot faster to film the footage. this then gave us time to edit our work and get it done to the highest of our ability.

here's a picture of us working in final cut!!



using final cut was a multifaceted and hard software to use at first, however after having lesson on how to use it it become a lot more easier and as shantelle done work experience in media she was know to the software which made It alot easier for the whole group. this speed things along abit. it was harder as well as last years we used Imovie which was harder so using final Cut was a bonus. as we wanted to use different layers we fought it very hard at first however once we got the hang off it we was able to dissolve the layers within the music video. whereas the effects on final cut was easier to put in all you had to do was pull and save, the only thing that took its time on final cut was rendering which took long at times!!


Here's a picture of the side tool bar.




this tool bar is what we used to edit all our work as we needed the first tool to click drag, and cut our work.

here is an image of the i Mac without this I mac we wouldn't off been able to do our video as it had all hard work on it, such as the final cut without this then our video wouldn't off been edited and it wouldn't of been as good as it is.

Research;
We done research when it come to making our music video, this was to help us gain ideas to put into our video. We looked at music videos such as Alphabeat - Fasination. We got the idea of using diferent colours and bits falling from the background. In our video we used different lighting, and used balloons falling down. We also saw that they used microphones, so we thought that would be a good idea to use them. We also liked the idea of using one girl and one boy within out music video, so we used that, and worked out good. Another video we looked at was called 'White Stripes', we liked the idea of the backgorund moving into the foreground.
