How did you use media

technologies in the construction

and research, planning and

evaluation stages?

Social Media

Staying in contact was important in the

planning process as it was through email

and social network sites that I could get

in touch with my actors and actresses.

Forward planning

To ensure my talent were

made completely aware of

the filming dates I planned

ahead and let them know

about filming weeks in

advance, this allowed me

to ensure that they were

going to be free as well as

myself.

More forward planning.

To ensure that everybody on set was all

on the same tracks I made a filming

schedule which I attached to emails

making them aware of who was needed

when.

Blogger

Using Blogger to demonstrate my work has become a great feature, as it is easy to access and great to receive other peoples feedback over a online poll.

Chocolate Sex You The City Other

If Yes, which is your favourite song by The 1975?

What do these results prove?

• The majority of people who use

internet surveys are aged 16-23. This

proves that in order to capture the

eyes of my target audience I will have

to ensure that my video is on the

internet.

What do these results prove?

• To re-enforce my previous slide the

results of the next question prove that

the majority of people watch their

videos online.

What do these results prove?

• The reason I chose the song chocolate

was not only for its strong beat, but

also because in my survey it was the

most popular of the songs.

Flipagram

Flipagram is an App I

could access on my

IPhone, using flipagram

allowed me to display my

ideas in a new and

interesting way whilst

researching into the

1950’s time period.

YouTube

Using YouTube to share my video’s allowed me not only to place them on my blog but to also to allow others to see them and comment or like/dislike them. This was an easy way to achieve a variety of audience feedback.

To create a vintage look

• To create a vintage look I researched

existing 1940’s and 50’s movies (as

there where no music videos of that

time). I observed and took notes on the

camera angles used and this really

allowed me to get an insight into what

audiences of that time wanted to see.

Some clips I liked

• I found three movies on youtube which I absolutely loved and really wanted to incorporate into my music video. Therefore I planned to use my actors/actresses as silhouettes against the movie screen as if they are watching the movies.

• Citizen Kane

• Rebecca

• Notorious (kiss scene)

Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane is a 1941 American drama film directed, co-written, produced by, and starring Orson Welles. The picture was Welles' first feature film. The film was nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories; it won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Herman Mankiewicz and Welles. Considered by many critics, filmmakers and fans to be the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane was voted the greatest film of all time in five consecutive Sight & Sound's polls of critics, until it was displaced by Vertigo in the 2012 poll. It topped the American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list in 1998, as well as the AFI's 2007 update. Citizen Kane is particularly praised for its cinematography, music, and narrative structure, which were innovative for its time.

Rebecca

Rebecca is a 1940 American psychological drama-thriller film. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, it was his first American project, and his first film produced under contract with David O. Selznick. The film's screenplay was a version by Joan Harrison and Robert E. Sherwood based on Philip MacDonald and Michael Hogan's adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's1938 novel of the same name. The film was produced by Selznick and stars Laurence Olivier as the brooding aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter, Joan Fontaine as the young woman who becomes his second wife, and Judith Anderson as the stern housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers.

Notorious

Notorious is a 1946 American spy thriller film directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains as three people whose lives become intimately entangled during an espionage operation. It was shot in late 1945 and early 1946, and was released by RKO in August 1946.

Photoshop

I used photo shop to create my

complete ancillary text

portfolio. I chose Photoshop as

it is a professional program with

great tools that allowed me to

layer and perfect.

I used Photoshop to create this

look…

Microsoft PowerPoint

Not only to create this

PowerPoint but also to

plan and prepare my

music video. I found it a

very helpful tool to create

my plans and lay them

out effectively. It really

helped me visualise

things.

SlideShare

I then used slide share to

share my PowerPoints

online so they would be

more condensed on the

post on my blog. This also

helped me to present it.

Microsoft WordThis was mostly used to

create tables of

schedules that would be

easier to attach to a email

which I would then send

to my talent.

Prezi

I used Prezi to display my presentations in a more creative form. This makes presentations, such as my health and safety presentation a lot more interesting.
