2. Below are just some of the technologies I
used for the construction of my music
video.
IPhone 5 Sony Vegas
Samsung Camera
Adobe Photoshop
CS2
3. This was a very important part of technology as this is
the way we constructed our video. Here we inputted
text, edit the text by putting a glow or changing the
angle of it. It also enabled us to make the music come
in time with our video, and most importantly change
the image of our video to an old fashioned way.
4. Different options will appear like what

side.
Followed by this I clicked and
dragged the text I would like
into the timeline and a dialog
box would appear asking me
what I want the text to say.
5. Another way I used Vegas was to put old
film footage over my video to give it the
old film effect. This is how I did it. We then just simply click and
drag the old film effect over the

film grain. I was given a few options to choose
from, and we chose the option ‘Very Old Film’.
The old effect covered our
whole video.
6. The use of the internet was vital for our video to reach our
audience.
One way we reached our audience was through YouTube, once
we finished our video we put it on YouTube for people to see.
Once it as finished, YouTube lets users comment on our video.
Another way was using blogger. I created a blog for people to
view my posts about my coursework and used it as a diary
about what I was doing to my video.
For question 2, I used Priezi which is an interactive way of
showing how my digipacks and my video are linked together.
7. For our filming we used a Samsung
camera. This was just a basic hand-
held camera. We had the option to
film in HD, but we wanted our video
to have an older look, so there was
no need for HD. The camera can
also attach onto a tripod, making
shots more stable.
8. I used Adobe Photoshop to create my digipacks. This enabled
me to input an image into Photoshop and edit it in any way
possible. For example, my inside back cover, I zoomed into
the keyboard and saturated the cover. I also adjusted the text
by changing the font to yellow and putting a shadow behind
it so it was easier to read.
9. Here the letter ‘I’ is
complete. I did this
for all letters that
are in the words
‘Swedish House
Mafia’ and ‘One
Your Name’.
For my front cover, I cut
MacBook Keys onto the
mosiac tile layer by
selecting it the letter ‘I’.
Magic Wand on
the toolbar
Now that the letter ‘I’
is on my layer, I used
the magic wand to
make the cut clean.
10. Here is the text
with a shadow
behind it.
Here is the text with no shadow
behind it. It is easier to read with a
shadow behind it.
Here I have several options.
To make the text have a
consistent look, I made the
angle, distance, spread, siz

right hand
corner, there is a
box which says
drop shadow.
11. For my location shots, shots for my digipack and filming for my
audience research, I used my IPhone 5.
This was handy for location shots as I could easily import the
pictures onto my laptop and then onto the computer I was
working on.
Secondly, the IPhone 5 was useful for my digipacks as I didn't’t
really need a special camera. Also, the IPhone does not lose
battery easily when it is in camera mode.
Finally, for my audience research, I used the video mode off my
IPhone to film feedback I received for the music genre I was
doing, which was House Music.
