Research and Planning Research and planning have made an huge impact throughout this A2 project and have helped me in the stages of construction and research , planning and evaluation. When researching on music videos that can helped inspire me on the creation of mine music video , YouTube was very helpful. As there

are countless music video if the RnB genre to view, this also helped when it came to planning,

costume, makeup ,mise-en-scene and locations for my music video. In addition, I also looked at

previous A2 music videos of my chosen genre, which assisted me in analyzing and thinking how I can present my music video. Furthermore, Google

was also helpful as there were many example digital and posters that were similar to that of

mine. Prezi and blogger were also useful as I can upload all my research , planning etc. and also communicate with my class mates an people

around the world who gave constructive feedback.

Construction and Production

In the construction and planning of my music video, digipak and poster new media

technologies have had a great impact. For my images and filming I used a Canon 600D ,

professional studio lighting , tripod , to make make the production more professional. In

addition, I also use and old Iphone4 to record the home scenes as is anted it to look more

vintage . In the post production I used FinalCutPro and Photoshop. FinalCutPro ,

allowed me to add all the footage together , destaruate , layer jpegs , add transitions and

export the music video using QuickTime conversion. Photoshop, enabled me to create my didgipak by adding images, texts and also edit the images to make them more appealing

and professional. I also used Photoshop to create my audience profile . Lastly, I used

YouTube to share my drafts and Video to share my final music video.

Evaluation For my evaluation I have used Finalcutpro for my

presentation using a green screen of me speaking. I have also used emaze and Microsoft PowerPoint to incorporate other media platforms. Overall, new media technogieds

have been important and much need in the construction, planning, research and evaluation stages of my projector.
