Evaluation Question 3
How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Apps and websites used in conjunction with blogger to display your work:
Use of internet
Use of photoshop (Ancillary - Digipak):
The video on the left shows me using phototshop for my digipak. In the video you can see me working on one of the inside panels as I am trying to add a shadow to the CD in hopes of making it look more realistic.
Use of photoshop (Ancillary - Advertisement):
Use of Final-Cut Pro (Music video and Digital Storyboard:
Digital storyboard: This video shows me working on the digital story board for the pitch. In the video you can see me importing the images for the storyboard and cut them to go with the beat of the song.
Creating markers and cutting: In this video you can see me putting in the markers (to add markers press the M key on the keyboard) for my music video and then start cutting the footage in order for me to decided what base track to use in that section.
Working on lip syncing and adding base tracks: This video shows me working on lip syncing by adding a marker when we hear the singer sing her first lyric. I then can be seen adding in some of the base tracks and lip syncing them with the music.
Use of the Blog: (Made on Canva)
Use of Camera:
Summary:
Overall I have used technology for many different things in each stage of this coursework. Each piece of technology has been used in different ways depending on the stage I am at and every format I have used has a different step by step process.

Evaluation Question 4
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Feedback from editing process (rouge cut):
Feedback from screening at cinema:
The feedback from the cinema appearance of our music video was very positive. The audience seemed to enjoy the slow sequence in the slow part of the song they believed that it looked amazing and worked very well. Overall the feedback from the cinema viewing was much like the feedback that we received from rough cut. Our audience overall enjoyed the video believing it is fun to watch and that the performance from our artist is brilliant and entertaining.

Ancillary Peer Feedback
(Wix does not allow you to embed your pages to other websites at the moment which is why there is a screen shot of what I have done)
Ancillary - Final Photo choices
Ancillary - Fonts for digipak and advertisement
Popeye Type
Copperplate
Copperplate was one of the main fonts that I chose for my ancillary work. I used this font for the title of the album and also for the track list on the outside of the digipak. I used this because even though it is simple it is effective. From my research I have seen that if a pop artist uses more than one font one of the fonts will be very simple and will often be used for the track list.Bernardo Moda Contrast
Bernardo Moda Contrast was the other font that I used for my ancillary work. I used this font for the name of the artist on both my digipak and my advertisement. I chose to use this font as I though that compared to some of the other fonts that I have looked at it would work best with our artist plus in my opinion this font works well with the pop genre.Thursday, 15 January 2015
