How did you use media technologies in the research and planning stages?

We used a variety of different websites to research information for our media product,

Such as Google is one of the main ones we have used to look up our postmodernism scene from our chosen film “The 400 Blows”, also to also we have used Google images to look up different CD Sleeves and how they are represented.

Youtube was also one of the famous websites we have used to look up music videos,

That we could include into our music video. This was very straightforward to use.

A scanner is also one of the technologies we have used to complete our media product as we scanned some of the work we did onto our bloggers such as the storyboards and the drawing we made as an idea for our CD Sleeves and posters.

We have also made use of course the Mini Divi Camera's, which was very easy to use,

Instructions very straightforward, plus we have also made use of it last year, so we have more experience of how to use it. And how to create certain effects with it to achieve the required outcomes.

Still camera we used to create the photos  that we will be needing to make the CD Sleeve and the poster for our music video, we took quite a lot of shots and are very pleased with the outcomes, all of them are when the girls is stood on the beach and seagulls flying above her. One of them is the image below. 

Tripod was also one of the equipment we have used to completer our media product, this helps keep the camera steady in a stable position to keep the shots nice and clear, without  shaking.
