At first I saved all my work onto a 16GB memory stick but then I
realised that I ran out of memory. Therefore I brought a new
memory stick which was a 64 GB so it could hold all my files such as images and videos. This is
because my videos which I used for my music video took up the majority of the space on my
memory stick.I felt safer carrying my memory stick around with me ratherthan my SD card because it is smaller and I am more likely to
lose my SD card.
Memory Stick
Mobile Phone/Digital CameraI have a Samsung camera and a Samsung Smartphone phone. I didn't use the camera on my phone because the camera of my phone is a CMOS, 5.0MP (megapixels) where as my camera is a CMOS 14MP.This meant I received a better quality of image from my camera as it has higher megapixels.Also my camera has an 18x zoom which meant I could focus on certain aspects of my model more clearly with a sharper focus.I then changed the setting so I had a 3x3 grid so I could line the models face up with the boxes to try and create a symmetrical frame (on the close ups).
Laptop and ComputerI used my own laptop which is a Samsung so I could carry on working
on my coursework at home. I like using the laptop because it is portable which meant I could do my work at any time , anywhere.
I used a computer when I was at college. I had the option to work on a Mac but I am more familiar with PCs therefore I chose to work on
them.
SD CardI used a 16GB SD Card which I could insert into my camera. This allowed all my videos and images to be saved onto a transportable device. The
laptop I used has an SD card slot so this meant it was quicker to transport my files onto this device. The computer I used also had a hard
drive with a SD card slot so I can also transfer these files onto my computer. Therefore I didn’t need to use an SD Card reader.
TripodI used a standard tripod to help keep the camera steady during filming. It was also essential when tilting up and down to prevent the camera stuttering. I used my own Tripod so it meant I could go and film at anytime.

The Edit SuitI had the option to edit on a Mac or a PC. I chose to edit my music video on a PC as I am more familiar with this
software. The editing software which I used is Adobe Premiere Pro CC
2015. However I did need to watch some tutorial videos
to help me work this software.
I only had access to this software at college which meant I was restricted to
when I could edit my music video together.
PhotoshopIn order to make my DIGIPAK and
Poster I used the software Photoshop. However I do not have access to this software at
home so it meant I was restricted to when I could work on my
ancillary texts. I have worked on this software before so I feel like I was able to use this software very
confidently.
BloggerThis is my blog address
...http://a2mediaeilishgladwin.blogspot.co.uk
My blog is the most important part of my coursework because
this is were I shared all my finished products and development and research. I chose my own colour scheme and layout. I think my blog is easy to read
and it is easy to access my work.
Prezi is a new software which I
have used this year for the first time. I really like this
software as it is a great way to
represent my work. However it is very
time consuming as it can take a while to change the paths
within a set template.
Prezi
I used http://www.storyboardthat.com/
in order to make a
storyboard for my music video. I found using this software very difficult as I could not save my work as
I did not set up a membership account.
Instead I used screenshots from this website and put
together my own storyboard on PowerPoint and Adobe Premiere Pro
CC.
Storyboard
During my planning and research task I used YouTube to watch different types of music videos. From this I was able to take inspiration for my own music
video. For example I watched Concrete Angel which has an underlying message of child abuse. I knew I then wanted to create an underlying message to my
own music video.I also used YouTube to watch tutorials such as different editing techniques which I could use on Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I found this very useful as it
meant I was learning new ways to edit my video.
YouTube
This was my favourite piece of software as it
allowed me to upload my PowerPoints onto a
SlideShare format. This made it easier and clearer to read my work from. Without this software I would have needed to
upload my PowerPoints as JPEGs onto my blog.
Therefore this website allowed me to use a
clearer way to represent my work.
SlideShare
I have used Survey Monkey before and I found it very useful. Therefore I have
decided to use it again because it helps with
my audience feedback. From my
responses I am able to make changes to my products to make
them better.
Survey Monkey
EmazeThis is my first year of using Emaze. I really
enjoyed using this website as I was able to represent my work in a different way.
However I rarely used Emaze because I found it very difficult to use at first. Although in comparison to
Prezi I was able to construct a new way of
representing my work and adding more slides proved to be a lot more simple.
