Software/Research/Equipment Usage 

From the Beginning of my research to my finished Digipak and Music Video I have used a range of different software programmes. Firstly Adobe Photoshop which I am grateful for having at home and at college. I used this to design my Digipak, flyer and an animatic draft of what I wanted our music video too Look Like. Secondly I have used Final Cut, I used this to edit our video numerous amounts of times rough and final. We took advantage of the programme by using it to our potential. Using key framing,  many transitions, smoothing, slow motion, lip syncing, filtering and applying cuts where needed. Yes I have learnt some new skills making this music video which I didn't know. For example, having 3 clips playing on the same screen at one time, playing a transition over another and changing filters to get different types of styles for example 'old film' '60s' etc. 

I have used Blogger to post all of my evidence, planning and creating I have been doing, I did use Tumblr but I switched over as it was too slow and kept crashing. I have used youtube to gain information into music videos and different styles of editing, camera angles and filter styles. This has helped me gain skills and ideas which I probably wouldn't of thought of with using it. In my research I used wikipedia to find out about Britpop Culture and origins. I didn't use this to much because various parts of information was false. But again this did help me to find out bits and bobs. I used Facebook to gain feedback on my designs and music video, it was a good idea because people could just post on my designs and tell me what they thought and I could improve them... 

We used One Hd Camera, One macbook and one spotlight to make our video. Doesn't seem like much but it did the job perfectly fine. We took the HD camera out and played around with different filters to see if we could get what we were aiming for, which was a black and white, half lit kind of style. We also tried out different camera angles to see which ones we could use in the music video. Lastly I found out how to light a music video again a big thank you to youtube for the tutorials on there.
