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

In search of my song I used www.reverbnation.com to find my first band 'Blues Mafia' but later on from class feedback I chose not to stick with the band.



Another common media technology used was you tube as I used it to find my track and also I used it frequently for my research stages to find blues-rock videos.Youtube was vital to my production process as i was able to see how other blues-rock videos were commonly shot and this helped me to incorporate some camera shots and challenge the conventions as-well.


IMovie HD
This probably the most vital in my production as I used it to edit and put together my music video. Imovie was key to my final product as I used the effects it had to offer such as flash to add to the rough feel of music video and to emphasize the impact of the guitar solos. I also used the effect 'earthquake' to make the video seem more edgy as of the frequent drug-use and to emphasize the characters path in life. IMovie HD was extremely useful to me I as I was able to sort all my clips and rename and make many copies of my clips and cut them precisely into what length I wanted them all to be - this was even more important as my music video incorporated 250+ cuts.
