4. How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
PRODUCTION
New media technologies were evident in the editing stages, mainly because we had to use Final Cut Pro an editing software some of us were not familiar with.When making sure the performances were in sync I used an ipod and an and ipod dock, this really helped us when getting the bend members to sing along with the track, and when it came to editing the video as a whole. To keep in contact with the band we used social networking and the good old mobile phones, we felt it important to be well organized because we all had different schedules and different times everyone was available, so by using these means of communication we were able to keep everything well organized and nobody got frustrated. In terms of the performance shots the use of the guitar hero was another part of new media that we embarked upon throughout the construction element throughout the video.
PLANNING&RESEARCH
The main thing I used when planning our video was the Internet, mainly YouTube, in order to analyse as many videos as I possibly could. I also looked into social networking in order to make our band seem more real, the social networks we decided to use for the band were Twitter and Facebook, mainly because they are popular amongst our target audience.
This is a bit general Gemma - try splitting it into Research & Planning, Construction and Evaluation and explain your use of NMT rather than jkust describing it. Also, change the 'we' for 'I' wherever possible - it's YOUR evaluation and your chance to talk about your personal contributions to the project.
