How did you use new technologies, in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Blogger...

Blogger acted like a diary throughout the course of the project. It was a great way to log our feedbacks our research any planning we did and was a great way to present our projects on a whole. I found blogger a great way to communicate with the rest of my group and also gave us the ability to help one another out.

Survey Monkey...

Along side blogger this software was the useful resource at the start of our project were we could collect data from our audience in terms of what they expect to see within a dance music video which enabled us to gain an analysis from our posted questionnaires and directly gave us answers and feedback.

Youtube was a importance in the presentation, construction and research stage of our project as it allowed us to find current dance music videos and upload them to our blogs enabling us analyse them for our research into existing products. Such videos from our chosen artists Calvin Harris. It has been helpful having both youtube and blogger as they work together really well. Youtube also gave us that visually more interesting aspect to our research. It also allowed us to post and upload our finished final video online allowing our audience to view and leave comments or feedback.

Youtube...

Facebook Twitter and Hotmail...

All three are examples of popular social networking sites. All three are used for as a way of communications people however but we used them as a tool to gain responses in relation to questionnaires we posted created on surveymonkey. In order to gain responses we posted links on our personal accounts or constructed emails to send out our links in the hope to gain responses from our friends and family. Without the use of these sites it would have been proven to be very difficult to gain any feedback on our questionnaires.

Slideshare...

Slideshare is also another online

software which is used to upload

power points such as this one now

to our blogs. I have used this

software on many of occasions

throughout the course of my

project as I prefer to use power

points to present my work and

research as I feel it tends to be

more visual and clear. Slideshare

has enabled me to use a selection

on multi medias through the stages

of my work and helped me gain

further development it terms of

the software I have used.
