Evaluative Comments

As part of our evaluation we were asked these 4 questions.

In what ways does your music video use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

How effective is your combination of main product and ancillary tasks?

What have you learned from audience feedback: Focus group.

How did you use new media technology in the construction and research planning and evaluation stage.

Below is the video we created showing us answering these questions.





These are the softwares that we have used throughout our project

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3; this was used to put the various film clips together and compile our video as well as transition effects and colour effects to improve the aesthetic quality of the video footage.
Adobe Photoshop CS3; this was used mainly in the ancillary task, we used this powerful image editing software to create our DVD cover and Poster, as-well as some backgrounds in our video.
Adobe After Effects CS3; this was used in nearly every clip in our movie. This powerful special effect program was used to change aspects of the green screen that we had used. We mainly changed the colour using this program, but also some virtual camera work was used.
Safari; this web browser was mainly used in research.
Quicktime; to review our film after completing the editing.

Editing Update

We have changed a few ideas to our film.


We have experimented with a few shots using green screen and decided that the outcome was superior to our original ideas. Because of this we decided to film the majority of the film in green screen.

We found that using green screen made it easier to edit in the way we wanted and we have gone for a very vibrant colourful theme to fit with the sound and pace of the music. It has allowed us to capture the essence of what we want to create and gain from our video.
