This included the creation of:
- A music video
- An album cover (front and back)
- A DVD Digipak
- A magazine advert.
I then had to discuss how effective I felt the combination was between my main product (the music video) and the ancillary texts. I also had to evaluate what I thought of my audience feedback after they had watched my music video and what I have learnt from that. I then had to comment on what new Media Technologies I have used during the creation of the above products. The new Media Technologies used in the planning and research stages were:
- www.blogger.com (to update my planning of all products)
- www.youtube.com (to research existing music videos and futher my knowledge)
- www.google.com (to research into the band Oasis and the format of typical Oasis videos)
The new Media Technologies used in the consturction stages were:
- Camcorder (to film my music video) along with DV Tapes to film the footage on
- Camera (to take photos of the filming set)
- Final Cut Pro (editing software which i edited all my footage on
- Uploaded CD Track (for music video and editing purposes)
- Photoshop (to construct the print artefacts e.g album cover, magazine advert)
The new Media Technologies used in the evaluation stages were:
- Camcorder (to film the evaluation)
- Blogger (to refer to the work I have done on my blog during the evaluation.
Overall I think that my evaluation went very well and I managed to get across all the main points that I wanted. After discussions with my teacher, it was confirmed I would be allowed to use my blog on screen to show how I have developed things such as my ancillary texts. I managed to stay quite calm whilst being filmed and think that I handled the situation well. The Evaluation stage is only a small addition to my overall grade but even so I am confident that I did well today.
