Q2: How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
Q3: What have you learned from your audience feedback?
Q4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research,planning and evaluation stages?
Script For ExtraNormal:
Character One: Just Answer The Question
Character Two: Ok Sorry, What was the question again?
Character One:How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Character Two:Well The first new technique I learnt was using After Effects CS6. I wanted to try out the 3D camera tracker. It was a lot of trial and error at first, but I got the hang of it. I wanted to use the camera tracker to try a new technique that I haven't tried before, it will create text in 3D space, and when the camera moves that text will stay in it's current position in relation with the scene. This new technology has helped me develop my skill in after effects, It also looked pretty sick. How about you?
Character One:Well, taking influence from the music video for Hey There Deliah I wanted to incorporate A split into the video. I did this through Final Cut. First of all I create a white solid, this was going to be used as the background. Next I needed to scale and crop the clips I wanted to use until we managed to create something which resembles a split. I did this so the star was able to be shown a lot more. You Must have something else to say...
Character Two:Yes I do, Some of our scenes were a little dark due to the lighting conditions. SO we had to colour correct slightly, Although not much as the darker scenes go with the Urban feel we were trying to create. Say one more thing before we go.
Character One: Ok, I also used photoshop to create the advert and digi pack. I wanted to give our star tattoos, so i downloaded a tattoo brush template, it was a little tricky but i managed to make them look fairly real. I had the paint the tattoos on and then rub out around the arm so they didn't overlap.
Character Two: And the most important technology we used was the camera, we were able to film our music video with, we also made some use of the lighting equipment when we did our photoshoot, the camera we used for that was a Canon eleven hundred D, which allowed us to get High Res images to work with. What about research?
Character One:Well I made good use of Safari and Google Chrome to help me with my research, I used Safari when I was using the Macs and Google Chrome when I was at home. Using these browsers we were able to find a lot of the information we needed, such as the conventions of Hip-Hop and Rap, Dance Styles and the lyrics to our song. I also used YouTube to help find Hip Hop videos to help with some inspiration, such as Macklemore. Using these browsers also helped me make good use of our blog, using blogger. the blog is where we put all our research onto and helped us plan a lot of our work. The blog is where all our research and planning is present. Got anything on evaluating?
Character Two: Of course, for question 1 I used powerpoint to answer the question. After I created the powerpoint I went onto a website called slideshare, i was able to import my powerpoint into it, this allowed me to embed my powerpoint into a post on blogger.
Character One:Any other browser software you had to use?
Character Two:Yep, I used Prezi to answer question 2, Prezi is slightly similar to powerpoint, but it allows you to be a lot more creative, I've used prezi before so I was familiar to it, in Prezi you are able to create different shapes and images, and some mad transitions. I also had to embed this into my blog. Oh and I'm also using some browser software right now!
Character One:Shut Up
Character Two:Nope i'm using xtranormal to answer this question, It isn't very difficult to use, and after some playing around you are able to get used to it, its similar to filming, as you are able to direct the actors and choose different camera angles, you also have the ability to make the actors say whatever you want. this will also have to be embedded.
Character One: Well that's creepy, anyway. We also used final cut one more time to answer question 3. I also learnt a new technique while answering question 3, it was to shrink the video of us talking to the camera and to put it into the top right corner. I did this by scaling the clip and moving it into position. We did this so it was clearer who was talking. We also did another split screen so we were able to show the before and after on certain clips.
Character Two:Overall I developed my skills using after effects with the 3D camera tracker and photoshop with different ways to colour correct, and adding the tattoos. I have also got a lot more comfortable using Final cut and prezi, I believe using all these techniques and technologies we were able to complete the goals and create an urban atmosphere.
