RC - Evaluation Q4 continued

• Adobe Premiere was essential in the production of our music video

• The large screen gave us a clear visual of the shot we were working but also when we were playing our video as a whole

• The workspace on the left of Adobe Premier made it easy for us to organise our footage, where the thumbnails clearly showed each piece of our footage. This made it easier to 'get media', especially when we wanted specific shots
• It also helped us to 'share' our footage easily, where we were given clear directions
• Editing specific shots was also made easy

• The thin red pointer gave us control over the parts of footage we wanted to preview/edit; if we wanted to we cut a segment our footage using this tool so that we would end up with two separate clips of footage
• This tool came in handy when cutting up a clip to create a photomontage

• This bar helped us to zoom in to our footage to make sure that it was edited perfectly, with no gaps

• zooming in on the audio part of our footage made it easier for us to make sure that the sound was in sync with the visuals

• Using the 'edit' part of the right hand side work space to add effects to our footage
• Adding effects:

• adding a fast blur in and out effect to the last shot of our video

• adding a 'dip to black' effect just before the last shot to single it out
• Used blogger as a written and visual record of all the editing stages

Evaluation:

• Used Blogger as a basis for my evaluation but also as a way for collecting audience feedback
• Used Youtube for uploading short clips taken from our music video timeline so to be able to embed them into posts
• Used Microsoft Powerpoint to show the construction of my media text
• Uploaded this powerpoint onto the websiteslideboom.com so that I could post the powerpoint onto the blog

• The work toolbar in Adobe Premiere gave us the freedom to choose specific segments of our video that we wanted to export separately
• Used social networking sites in order to gather audience feedback by posting a link onto Facebook that took people to the Youtube video

• Used a HD camera to film a number of people answering questions on our music video
• Used iMovie software on my own laptop to edit this footage
