Task 4

Final cut, i used this to edit our footage, this included cutting up footage, adding cut aways to the video, adding filters and effects to some of the shots to make them look brighter and adding "glow" effects to close up shots of the performer (me). I also used final cut to lip synch the whole video.

Flickr, i used flickr to upload images of my work such as my digi pak and poster, i also used flikr to find images to put on my blog.

Google, google has been a big help for me in this project as i have got lots of imagers from it and i have used it to look up lyrics for my song, this helped a lot as this meant i didnt have to write all the lyrics down myself and learn them. I also used it when creating m digi pack as it gave me insipration on how my digi pak should look.

Vimeo, i have used vimeo to upload my final video and rough cut, then from vimeo i was able to post my work on my blog. Also vimeo was very helpful as people could comment on our video and give us feedback.

Facebook was used to keep in touch with my group so we knew what was going on with our music video, and it also helped as organize things, for an example we could get in touch to remind each other to bring certain costumes and props in for our video. I also used facebook to get photos of it for my blog.

Itunes, i used Itunes to listen to my chosen song, this helped me learn the lyrics to it.

Blogger, this is where i kept my blog and put all my research on it, it also kept me update on what work that had already been done, and what was needed to still be done. I also put all my ideas and feedback on my blog.

Myspace, i used this to get in contact with Esthero to ask for permission to use her song, however sadly she did not get back to us. I also used myspace to message Daisy, as we were planing to use one of her songs.

Youtube, i used youtube a lot in this project, this is as i used it to research other music videos, i also used it to give me inspiration for a dance routine.

Photoshop, this is what i used to create my mood boards on, i also used it to make my digi pak and poster. I used it to edit images and add effects, i did this to make it look effective and interesting.

Photobucket, i used photobucket to get inspiration on costumes and make up ideas.

In this photo of me you can see all the equipment i used:

The HD Camera: We used this to film our footage for the music video. We decided to use a HD camera as its much more better quality than a DV camera, it also makes our footage look more professional as it doesn't look as grainy as it would if we used a DV camera.

Tripod: The tripod was used when filming some of the shots in our music video, this was to keep the shot steady and neat.

Mac G5 Computer: I used the computer to research, edit footage using final cut and also using such programs such as photoshop to create mood boards etc.
