Question 4 Evaluation.

Part 3 – Planning.

Digital technology was of less use in this stage. We mainly used written documents and storyboards when planning as it meant we had a copy to take out when we were filming. Below are examples of how we drew up our storyboards to make filming efficient as possible.

Celtx Online.Celtx Online was a very helpful digital technology we found and used when it came

to creating shot lists.

Celtx meant we could type out our shot lists easily and neatly without having to write them all up by hand. These shot lists made filming very easy and quick as we knew exactly what we wanted and we could all read it instead of struggling to read someone's handwriting if it was not clear enough.

Again, Blogger came in handy when planning. All of our shot lists and storyboards where logged here so if we ever needed to make reference back to them they where all in one place. We also kept track of what we wanted our stars to look like so when we was planning to film we could look at our research and tell our actors what costume and make up to wear.

Microsoft word was also another digital technology that came in handy in the planning stage. We used this digital technology to write up our risk assessment before we went out and did filming. This technology also came in useful when we wanted to note down some ideas for certain shots before we put the final decision on the Celtx shot list. We didn’t use this digital technology as much in this stage but it did come in handy on occasion.

I feel Celtx was the most beneficial digital technology to us as it meant we could quickly and easily write up shot lists for free whereas other websites may make you pay to use their services. Celtx made our shot lists look very professional and smart. We did not use Celtx once when creating shot lists and I feel it made the shot lists look messy and they were not very efficient.

Planning was a vital stage when creating our music video as without it our creativity skills development would have been limited because we could not work on our current ideas without them being recorded down on Celtx or our blogs.

Our use of digital technology such as blogger and Celtx led to the success of our music video in my opinion as without these reliable ways or recording and logging our production and planning paperwork we would have had no clue what shots we needed when it came to filming.

Overall minimal digital technology was used on the planning stage compared to other stages. I feel that it was a lot easier when planning to use written documents when doing story boards and film schedules as the pictures on the story boards would have been difficult and unclear if done on the computer using a digital technology such as Photoshop or other drawing apps/websites.
