Using new technologies was a key component to the production
of completing this task. I used new technology through many areas such as the
designing, construction, planning and evaluation. The different types of new technology and technology
of that I already had existing knowledge of are:
- Adobe Premier Pro cs3
- Sony Handy camera
- Software such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
- YouTube, Facebook and Skype
- Samsung MV800 camera
- Blogger
When researching for this task I mainly used technologies of
that I had existing knowledge of such as the internet and YouTube, with these I
could find existing music videos and information of them concentrating on their
conventions and the type of iconography they use. As I was used to using these technologies
I found that my research was made easier and I could respond quickly to any new
ideas or interest using these to gather the information or knowledge I needed.
To communicate to the best of our abilities amongst the
group to ensure that schedules where
kept and we could organise before shoots be used technologies such as Facebook,
mobile phones to text and ring each
other and Skype of which became extremely useful as the technology abled us to
communicate both verbally and visibly. This became a frequent way of
communication for our group to plan our story board and for myself to show my
designs.
The main use of new technology for me was learning to use Premier Pro cs3, learning how to use new software and hardware doesn’t always come easily to me although with the use of YouTube I soon picked up on the programmes main uses and how to create and edit many short pieces of footage and turn them into a video. This was vital knowledge as premier Pro cs3 was the main construction and production of the task. As for the use of camera to captured our video’s footage it wasn’t too complicated to use although which was extremely useful considering it is the main component to producing this music video.
