Evaluation task 4

Evaluation task 4

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Because all of our coursework is presented through blogger, I have used the computers and the internet alot which has helped me in a lot of my research.Using sites such as Youtube helped me when researching different genres and existing media products. I used software such as powerpoint and prezi as different ways of presenting my work. By using the computers also enabled me to look up Katy Perry's and similar artists websites and digipak's.


When it came to editing my ancillary tasks I used Adobe Photoshop, which i felt confident using because of using it in GCSE, at AS level and because I took photography.



We used a standard camera to take the photo's in the studio for our ancillary tasks. Me and Mabel took it in turns to take photo's and then we decided as a group what ones we wanted to choose and which ones weren't any good. We then uploaded all of the photo's onto the computers and came to a decision which ones were going to be used for what part of our ancillary tasks.

Evaluation task 3

Evaluation task 3


When presenting our initial screening all of our footage was in colour and some of our feedback from members within our class was that the shots of them in the park were too bright. Therefore we experimented with editing some of the past shots in black and white. As a group we were quite indecisive about what version we preferred and asked our teachers and people in our class and the majority of them said they preferred the black and white version. I showed both to my family and they explained why they preferred the black and white version of our music video.

Evaluation task 3

After watching our initial screening we wanted to know how we could improve and make our music video better. I asked Cait, a girl in my class, what her opinion of our video was and if she had any criticisms or suggestions what we could include.
