How did you use new media technologies in the construction

and research, planning and evaluation stages

Online ToolsDuring the research of this project I used:

Google: in order to search anything I wasn’t sure of, including finding more information about

Joy Division

YouTube: was very useful. I used it to watch music

video’s that I could get ideas from and also to upload my

own videos for others to watch and for me to be able

to post onto the blog.

Online music review Magazines: to get more

ideas on what music video or artists to use or adapt from in order to produce

our own

Slideshare: was used in order for me to upload my typed up documents from

Microsoft word and PowerPoint onto the blog to give an

interactive version of some of my work.

www.blogger.com: This is the website in which we used

to make our blog. All our coursework is posted on this

site

HardwareTelevision: Used the television to watch music channels such as MTV

Base and movies such as ‘Clockwork Orange’ in order to get more

inspiration for our music video

They were a member of a gang and went

around causing havoc, wore the same clothes to symbolise unity. We also were portrayed as

a gang in the video and wore the same

clothes while causing havoc and messing

about

We used the Sony HandyCam DCR-VX2100E in order to

shoot our music video. We shot plenty of handheld shots with this in order to fit in with the retro, edgy look that we was trying to accomplish.

We used a tripod in order to shoot still, steady shots. For example when Marwo was jumping from wall to

wall and our Anton Corbijn deication shots.

Steadicam: this handheld steadicam was used by us in order to shoot smoothly while moving the camera. This was very tricky to do at first butt after a few attempts I was quite good at it, and shot

Marwo’s close up shot using it.

Motorola defy: I used this phone in order to record my

interview. It has a 5mp camera with flash and was very easy to transfer my

recordings to the computer.

Dell laptop Inspiron 1750: this is the laptop I used to

record myself evaluating my project. It was easy to do as I didn’t need to hold anything

and the recoding was automatically on the

computer, so I didnt need to transfer it from device to

device.

Software

Final cut pro: We used this software from an Apple Mac in order to edit the music video. Its simple design and useful layout made it easier to learn how to use this software and

to edit with a professional finish.

(Dell webcam central): the in-built software on the Dell Inspiron 1750 in which I used to record myself. It was very easy to operate and had one touch record and stop button.

Microsoft Office word: I used this software in order to type up documents that I didn't want to post directly onto the blog. I also used it to type up my questionnaire, print it out and distribute for people to complete.

Microsoft Office PowerPoint: I used this in order to make slideshows. This is because presenting some of my work like this was more convenient for me and also more interesting to look at.
