Throughout making our music video, we encountered different stages of technologies that we used to enable our music video to reach a high standard of a proffessional outcome.The technologies that we used are:

HD Video camera

The HD camera was very useful and straight forward to use, and was of a good quality. We achieved the different shots and angles that we wanted to very easily through this digital technology. This combined well when it came to uploading our footage onto the mac because it was simple and fast. 

 Macs

The Mac's that we used enabled us to conduct our research regarding different music video's where we got inspiration and idea's from and compared with our own music video to see what areas could be improved. As part of the whole process of making our video, we used the mac to email the artist to avoid copy right issues. This digital technology was very efficient to use as it uploads video's and pictures very fast as well as uploading other web links quickly.  

Photoshop

Photoshop was used for our digipak and magazine advert as it helped us to create professional and effective techniques so that our products was of a high standard. This digital technology was not very simple to use and took us a while to achieve the goals that we wanted. 

Final Cut

 

Final Cut played a crucial role in editing our music video as it allowed us to edit, add effects, transitions, filters and give our music video a smooth interesting flow. This was essential because it helped us to transform our filming into a good quality standard video. It was difficult to use and took a lot of time and consideration to get what we wanted to achieve, although we did not always manage to do so. 

Speakers

We used portable speakers which was particularly important as we had to play the original song out loud while we were out filming our video so that we were able to match the lyrics up correctly.
