Evaluation task 4

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


This is the equipment we used. A camera, tripod, laptop, two guitars, an amplifier, drums, drum sticks. 
These are the sites we used for our music video work:


 I used Blogger to note, explain and show all our work. It was really good to get to put all my work in one place and helped when I needed to go back and use an example from a past blog. 



We used Final Cut to edit together our music video, and to add effects. We had some trouble rendering on Final cut. So we started the editing again which worked out well as we were able to improve our music video further. 


Facebook was used when we needed people to comment and discuss the rough cut and the final video. We created a group on Facebook to do that. We used the group in the construction of the video to discuss ideas, and talk about when and where were filming.  We had some good and helpful responses,over facebook. It was better to do it on a social networking site because we had a wider response view then we would've if we had gone round and asked people. 


Millers Music Centre (Cambridge) was the very nice business that let us use their drums for free. It was the second music site we looked at for the use of hiring or borrowing a drum kit. We had multiple emails with the manager of the business about the use of the drums.Though we had some complications about the delivery of the the kit, which was sorted out, we found that they were poilte and apoligised for the complications,   we would suggest people using them in the future for music videos.
