What have you learnt form your audience feedback?:

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts? on Prezi

How did you use new media technologies in the construction research, planning and evaluation stages?:

For the research part of my project, the main technology that i used was youtube, however i also looked at other videos on the website vimeo.

However i also used blogger so that i could present the information that i had found, 

I used the standard photo camera primarily in my research and planning stages, i used this when i was taking photo's of possible places in which i would be able to film.

I also used google streetview, to look at areas which i would be interested in filming at when i was unable to get to them due to being in school.

Filming my actual footage was the most time consuming part of my project, for this i used several bits of technology, which were a tripod, High definition video camera and a camera 

When i started the editing stage of my project/ designing and creating a CD digipak and music magazine advert, i started to use a large amount more technology: first of all this was all done on a mac. All of the image editing we did was on photoshop:

 

For the video editing i used final cut express: 

I also used Live type, this enabled me to create titles that would be able to be placed over the top of my video. 

I also used i movie, the built in apple software for editing videos, this is however not particularly advanced so i only used its image stabilization features and to export it to youtube from school, I used youtube in my project to upload my video too, i did this primarily to get audience feedback.

I am now ready to burn my movie and ancillary tasks to Dvd, i am using IDVD to do this, this enables me to create a proffesional looking dvd with a title page/

I am struggling to keep the quality of my film when i burn it onto dvd, however here is the link to the youtube version with a higher quality.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMaY2llDc2E&feature=youtu.be

Finished my music video

I have now finished my music video, however i am now having problems exporting it in high quality and need to find out how to do this. I am also now doing more work on my evaluation.

Editing

My editing is now almost complete with only small amounts still to do, my stop motion work also looks a lot better than i expected it to, and i was able to easily fit it too the lyrics, however it can be a problem if i accidentally unsync the whole film, as it requires a large amount of time to peice back together.

I have now filmed my stop motion section of my footage, i had problems with keeping the camera still and achieving the lighting i required. To fix these issues i ended up attaching the camera to a desk lamp, this mean that i could get the camera directly above the paper and have an adequate lighting source. However this does meant here is a slight shadow on one side of my paper, i hope to eliminate this issue when editing the footage together.

Evaluation

I am starting to work on my evaluation, my idea for my evaluation is to create a video containing all off the responses to the questions. This will allow me to include writing as well as moving images i have taken from my film.
