1. How media
technologies were
used in planning.

2. Music Video

3. Me and Rachel devised a video talking
about the idea's we had for our music
video. This was filmed around a few
weeks before we had came up with our
initial idea for the video therefore most
of the idea's in this video will not have
been progressed further. This helped us
get our idea's out to others which also
lead to feedback from them as to
whether the idea's we had were suitable
For this video we used a Canon HD
or not.
camera, one of the ones used in our
filming. After we had filmed we
uploaded the video to our computers
and went to Premiere Pro to edit the
bits out that weren't necessarily
needed. After this it was then
converted to YouTube and put

4. Before we had chosen our track we had to listen
through around 20 songs on SoundCloud, which is a
music streaming website. This allows you to listen to
which ever track you like for how long you want.
This was useful as you could scroll past the songs
you didn’t like allowing you to listen to the ones you
wanted to. When we had chosen our track we
embedded the link onto our blog’s to let people who
read our blog know which track we had chosen.
We had then created a shooting
schedule to prepare us for when
we was going to film this allowed
us to stick to this schedule so we
knew we would get the filming
completed before the deadline.
We made the schedule on
Microsoft Excel as it is easy to
read and use. Once we had done
that piece of filming we would
tick it off allowing us to not get
mixed up with what we have and

5. When it came to planning our music
video we had taken inspiration from
other video’s which we then planned that
we would attempt to film similar shots to
these. To get the part of the video we
wanted I went onto YouTube to find the
clips then because I didn’t want the whole
video I went on a website called
TubeChop which allows you to cut the
section of a music video you want.
We also had taken planning
seriously that we downloaded the
weather forecast from the internet
for the days we were meant to go out
and film. We thought by doing this it
will help us to figure out what the
weather will be like when we do
actually film so we know what the
video will look like.

6. Blogger was a main part of planning as
that is where I put most information as
it was simple and if I was in a rush it
would be easy for me to write up what I
wanted and publish it. I used blogger to
plan the equipment and location, and
what our actors looked like. Even
though I only mainly used blogger I still
made it look effective and better to read
rather than writing in big paragraphs.
Also on Microsoft Excel I devised
up a risk assessment, telling us all
the risks we had when it came to
actually filming. This allowed us
to be aware of the dangers which
may happen, also like before Excel
is very clear to read therefore I
thought that would be the best

7. To aid us with our filming and so we knew which
shots to film and the angles of them we devised up a
storyboard which we then later made into an
anamatic. We drew our storyboard onto Post-It notes
and the times that they would come up in the music
video we then took picture using the DSLR camera as
this camera makes the writing and images come up a
lot clearer than the others. Once we had taken the
photo’s for the storyboard we had to make an
anamatic, which we did on MoviePlus, as this was
before we had used Premiere Pro, and we had to put
the images on the screen for as long as they lasted in
the video. After we had completed that we had to
upload it to YouTube to enable us to embed it to our
blogs for others to see.

8. Website

9. For our website we used wix.com, we found this was a
very popular website maker as well as easy. It took us
a few attempts to pick the right template and format
for our artist as we had to try and get it to be as
similar as possible to the genre we was working with.
Wix is a free site you can make your own websites on,
this is one of many sites which is free therefore this is
the one we decided to choose. Wix allows you to
choose from a range of different templates and
backgrounds, we had to try and choose the one which
related well with our artist. As most other artists
websites were in black and white we thought to
continue with this theme and make ours black and
white also. This narrowed it down a lot for us,
making it easier for us to choose a template. We used
Wix.com to get across all information about our
artist, including information about the video. We also

10. Each day we would plan what we
would put onto our website via
devising up another schedule on
Microsoft Excel. This way it made it
easier for us to understand what we
have included and what we haven’t.
We planned our whole website on
Wix.com and microsoft word. We copy
and pasted the text we had planned on
word into text boxes on Wix, this way
we knew that we had made no mistakes
as we proofread if beforehand.
We also planned through filming
video’s for the website. Instead of
using lots of text we filmed video’s
onto the DSLR, this helped with
planning as things that were said on
the camera we also wrote in text to

12. Digipak

13. Planning for the digipak we ensured that
we knew what we wanted our digipak to
look like by saving images of other artists
digipaks to our H drive, for this we used
Google, where we looked up artists in
similar genres to ours. Again with planning
our digipak I used blogger to write about
what we was going to do before going ahead
To
with our digipak.allow us to get on with our digipak
we had to plan when we was going to do
our photo shoot. We had to get a time
which both us and the actor could do in
the photography studio. To do this we
used Facebook and texting to set a date
and time which was appropriate for
both. This media technology is useful as
it allows you to easily communicate with
people and helped us a lot when it came
