2. In Research and Planning
In research and planning we used:

3. Google, Wikipedia & Bing
• In research and planning I used Google,
Wikipedia & Bing to search for facts about
music video producers and directors and
styles they created. We also used them to find
existing digipaks and magazine adverts, so we

12. In Evaluation
In the evaluation I used:

13. Prezi

this I had to import photos and videos, also I
had to learn how to create paths and make my
work look physically appealing.

14. SlideShare and PowerPoint
• I used PowerPoint to create a presentation for
one of my questions then SlideShare was used
to upload the PowerPoint.
Adobe Premier Pro
• I used Premier Pro to lay audio over a video
