EVALUATION QUESTION 4

In order to carry out my research for my media

products I relied heavily on the internet as it was an

easy source of access in order to gain vital

information for my products. By having access to the

internet i was able sites such as Google and YouTube

which have many links and sources to gain

information needed.

In order to make my digi-pak and print advert as

professional as possible I used Google images in order

to get examples of other artists album covers and

posters in similar music genre to my artist. I also used

YouTube to get ideas from other music videos so i can

integrate the ideas into my own music video. This was

important as it enabled me to learn how certain cut

shots and the pace of the music video should be in

the same genre as my music video.

I mainly used Photoshop and InDesign in order to

design my digipak and print advert. Photoshop

helped enhance the look of my pictures and make

them more eye catching to the audience. InDesign

helped to actually built the foundation of my poster

and digipak and add effects to give it more of an

appealing look.

I used the Fuji cameras to take my pictures of

my artist, the Fuji camera is a high quality

camera which lets me take clear cut photos

and also giving the whole product a

professional look. I also used Facebook in

order to get ideas for my print advert and

digipak and gain feedback on what the

album should be called so I can get make the

best product for the target audience.

To record my music video i used a HDV video camera. By using this camera it brings out the mis en scene in the video in a much better format than any other regular camera, but in order to complete the music video i used final cut pro on the apple mac computers in order for my editing and adding effects onto the video. At first i was not confident in using final cut pro however after some time and just generally playing around with the software i eventually got the hang of it and managed to produce constant cut shots within the video so it does not look boring. I also added effects onto the video in order to make my artist stand out from everyone else so we can focus on him.
