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

The main thing I used for research and planning was the internet, websites such as allalbumcovers.com, dafont.com, blogger.com and wikipedia.org, all these websites helped me plan what i wanted to do when constructing my work as well as the research intothe genre needed to know what qualities my piece of work would need.

I used a digital camera when taking the pictures for my ancillary task and for when taking shots of my group working together, It was a main accessory to creating my ancillary task and made it possible to take photos uses like the one on the middle cover:

The construction of my work i used a lot more media technologies like the green screen, tripods , video cameras, final cut editing software and photoshop.
when making my music video it was a lot different to what we had done in the past as we were using different technologies, we experimented with the green screen and what effects we could make to use in our music video until we were finally happy with the outcome, on mydigipak and poster i used digital cameras to take pictures of my artists and different props which i could then edit in photoshop and include in my ancillary task, Before creating my final i had experimented in photoshop using different filters, effects and tools which were available, I did not use any specific effects on my work however i adjusted hue and saturation a lot to make different tones the way i wanted, i cropped images so they could individually moved around and then placed things where i wanted.

For my ancillary task the main thing i used was photoshop, i had

used photoshop in the past but there is always new things to learn, experimenting using different features was essential to my work as many final things did were mistakes which turnt out well, for my main background explosion, it was original an orange colour which i then used the hue and saturation to change green to fit my genre colour scheme.
