Effectiveness of technology
Blogger
In pre production this was the main use of technology we used to display our work, it was important to show our audience research, upload YouTube videos, and analyse the research we had done to put into our production stages. We also used it to upload week logs about what we had achieved and if we were meeting our deadlines. We used Issuu to analyse our work in more depth and also we used PowerPoint to present our work to the audience and incorporated spreadsheets to show visualisation of our shooting script. Issuu came in handy when analysing our Digipaks and magazine adverts. We used YouTube to get an idea of what our audience would listen to and also it was a way to find relatable artists to help with the representation of our own artist. We also used YouTube to find locations that would match the look we wanted to go for and
During production it was only used to update our logs and post pictures of what we had done so far, this gave us a chance to reflect on what we thought was going well and also what we thought needed to be improved.
During postproduction we used this to display our final work, and how we edited our three products, we also got audience feedback and evaluated our own work, comparing it to real life music videos.
I found blogger effective to use, as it was the only technology used to show all of my work I had done in each stage, I had used it previously with our project last year and was familiar with what had to be done. The new additions to the website helped the blog to be presented in other ways.
This was not used during production
For post-production I made files on word that needed to be linked to my blog such as “The effectiveness of the combination of the main products� by doing this, it showed a different way of presenting my work.
The effectiveness of using Issuu was that it showed another way of presenting my work and a use of different technologies. It allows you to look through each page clearly by zooming in and turning the page and this makes people interact with it more.
We only used YouTube to post our final music video and also analysis of our own work. We evaluated our audience feedback and also how the three products challenge or conform to real music videos.
YouTube was a brilliant source to get information from, it definitely helped to influence our own work, as we picked up on conventions of different genres of music videos, to help us make our own work better. We also used YouTube for help on tutorials as to how to use final cut as we got stuck when editing sometimes.
