The main technology that we used in the construction of our project overall were Camera,
Blogger, Mac, Facebook, Youtube,
Twitter, Photo Shop and Final Cut Express.
Blogger was used for posting all our research and planning, as a portfolio of our work and progress, along with my evaluation tasks. I found it extremely easy to use and have found it to be an essential part of my project as it allowed me to swiftly edit posts and being my diary it was easy to access.
This was the Sony handheld camera which we used to film all our footage for our music video and because it was digital it came in very handy. The reason for this was because afterwards we could check our footage and whether we needed to film again, is something wasnt right etc. We found this extremely helpful and it was very easy to use.
The Apple Mac was extremely hard to use at first as I am used to Windows, but after a while it became like a 6th sense and it wasnt hard to use. The power of the Mac is amazing, i could use many applications at the same time and this helped me produce things faster and work quicker. The Mac has all the essential programs on it eg. Photoshop, Final Cut Express etc.
Facebook was used effectively to promote and expose our roughcuts and get some feedback on my video. The social networking site was exceptionally helpful in promoting my video and seeing what others thought of it.
Youtube was the main website which we used to export and expose our video. It was fast and efficient and was a main part of my media project.
Twitter much like Facebook, was used to gain feedback on how to improve my video and how successful it was. I got a lot of exposure and this proved to be successful in helping me improve my video.
Final Cut Express was the main application that I used in my media project and this was used in editing my video and compiling all my footage and material together to create my final music video. It was easy to use with the help of markers which was what I used a lot to make sure everything was in sync. With the variety of effects that were at hand, it made it so easy for myself to become as creative as possible.
Photoshop was unarguably the hardest application to use and at first i found it extremely difficult to use. It was used for my magazine advertisement and my digipack. Once i got the hang of it, i found it amazing due to the many utilities that it holds and the way in i felt i could be as expressive as possible. Also my partner Samir was extremely helpful as he has some experience with Photoshop and we proved to be a good team.
