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

evaluation stages?

Evaluation Question 4By William Yeates

CameraWe used a HD camera for the duration of our shoot along with a tripod which we used like a selfie stick to create our unique super close up shot of our artist following him where he goes. This combined with us hand holding the camera to get closer shots. With this technique we did slightly sacrifice stability but we believe the shots we did get were worth the minor lack of stability.

Creating The Photoshop Advert

Finished Advert

Editing our advert and digipack.

As we were fairly new to editing and photo shop we did rely a fair amount on various how to videos as well as questioning actual computer graphic artists such as Ken Coleman, to see how they had done things previously as well as taking advantage of the opportunity to ask a professional about what he thought looked good and what could be improved on our various pieces.

Creating The Digipack

The finished Digipack

How we made our digipack

We experimented with several ideas for our digipack a result of one of these experiments was, using the image of a cloud from one of our photo’s, to create several layers over the face of our artist. Then by adding an effect to the clouds it allowed us to see angus’ face. Through the collaboration of many photos we took of various London land marks and different angles of our artist we were able to create a layered effect showing many of the places that would feature in our video.

The Music VideoTo create our video we used Apple Movie Maker as we felt the quality of Apple was the best way of making the most visually pleasing video. In Apple Movie Maker we had the use of many effects and filters to make our video as professional looking as possible it was because of this software we were able to create fading scenes, jump scenes and create a “limitless” effect which we believe made our video to the high standard we hold it too.
