Evaluation Q3.

When researching and planning for the creation of our project there was a number of technologies used for the different stages:

• Blogger 

During the research stage and planning stage blogger played a big part in the putting together of our project. The use of different apps such as prezi and youtube as well as using pictures and music videos of other artist's/students work, plus our own work and analysis of other people's work is all displayed on blogger as this is the foundation of the group's plan.

• Video cameras/Memory cards

The cameras that was used to shoot the video for 'High For This' are state of the art and provided very good footage for the group to work with, they were also not that difficult to use and quick and easy to to learn how to use. The fact that we had two memory cards helped a lot as we experienced some difficulty whilst out on one of our filming sessions one of the memory cards stopped working, lucky enough we had another one so it did not create a problem and we was able to continue filming.

• Twitter/Instagram 

A twitter and instagram account was created for our group in order to keep our teachers up to date with what was going on within our group and what kind of progress we was making with our filming sessions. Pictures were taken of the different locations that we used to film for the video as well updates that were made on twitter so everyone was aware of our whereabouts, what stages we were at, where we was heading next and what else needed to be done.

• Photoshop

In order to construct my ancillary products photoshop was needed to create the digipak and advertisement for the digipak.

•  Final Cut Pro 

The editing for the music video was done on the programme Final Cut Pro. From before the filming began we planned on  having some parts of the video in black and white and other parts of the video to have a allow motion effect to give reinforce the euphoria vibe.
The black and white visual was done using the colour picker effect so that everything within the shot appeared in black and white apart from the feature we wanted to stand out with the colour which was the majority of the shots that consisted of the artist (Yasmin Ally) holding the smoke bombs, these shots also included the slow motion effect to slow down the speed of the smoke coming out the tube.
