Through my media project coursework i
have used many different technologies to create my final products. These
technologies have helped and provided me with different aspects in creating my
final products. Many different technologies combined together have allowed me
to create a more successful product.
One of
the most important sorts of technology used is the camera we have used to shoot
our music video. We have used the Canon 550-D, this camera is a professional
camera used by many directors in UK rap music videos. This camera has benefited
me and my partner is many different ways, firstly it allowed us to focus and
out focus the backgrounds – which we have used throughout our music video.
Another factor this camera has provided us is the memory the camera holds – it
has space for 32 gigs worth of data, which has allowed me and my partner to
take many different shots – random shots. And when we edited our music video,
the random videos shots have helped us. The camera has provided us with 720 HD
and 1080HD recording, we have used the 1080HD recording as it would have a much
higher revolution and make our music video look very professional. 
Another
important technology I have come across was the Mac computer, which has allowed
me to make my products in a much faster pace. As I have used the Mac computer
for my As, i was familiar with most of the aspects. One of the most important
advantages of using the Mac computer is the speed and has a lower chance of
crashing down than ordinary computers. 
The
editing software’s i have used is Adobe Premier and Final cut express. They
both have similar editing aspects, but in my opinion i have found the Adobe
Premier easier. It has allowed me to add special effects to the video to make
it look more appealing. I have also used Final cut express to edit some parts
of the videos, as it contained a wider range of editing effects. Using both
editing software’s has allowed me to get the best possible outcome.
Important
software i have used to advertise my final product is Adobe Photoshop. I have
used this to make the digipak and magazine advert. Me and my partner have used
different ideas combined together to make these product more appealing.
Watching many different YouTube tutorials i have become more confident in
editing in a more professional level. Using Photoshop has allowed me to remove
the background of an image more easily and locking different layer and editing
them.
Another
simple technology I have used is my blackberry mobile phones. I have used this
to gain more and quicker audience feedback on my ancillary tasks – Magazine
advert, Music video and DigiPak. I have taken pictures of the magazine advert
and DigiPak and send these images through Whatsapp and BBM (BlackBerry
Messenger) and have gained useful feedback from friends and family. This method
was the easiest and quickest method for me. 
Throughout my coursework one of the most important
part of technology was Blogger. I have posted all my work through this. Blogger
was very easy to use, and it is very useful to add videos, prezi and slideshare
documents, which allowed me to have many different multimedia throughout my
coursework. Another important advantage was the auto save system, which
continues to save your work as you go along, which decrease the chances of
losing your work when your computer freezes.
