RESEARCH AND PLANNING
In this presentation I discuss some of the technology that we used in the research and planning stages of the project.
In addition to these software and online tools, we repeatedly used more elementary programs such as NotePad, Word and Paint from Microsoft. For example, we used NotePad and Word to create basic lists, and Paint to put images together.

| Using Microsoft Word to create a moodboard; we benefited from using this software by quickly and easily bringing images of inspiration together |
 |
| Creating a timetable in Microsoft Word; we benefited from this software by quickly and easily creating lists of props, costumes and ideas, and creating schedules and timetables - this made it easy for us to get organised |
 |
| Similarly, I used the 'Notes' tool in my Apple iPhone 6. Whenever I had last minute thoughts or ideas the day before shooting for example, I took note of these to then discuss with the group either when next speaking in the Facebook chat group or when I next saw them; this was useful to record ideas to not be forgotten, for instance I needed to improve the lip sync edit and in general edit when next working in Premiere |
CONSTRUCTION
Throughout the construction stage, consisting of the production and post-production, the SONY Handycam we used was key for capturing footage, as was Adobe Premiere Pro for editing; these were used repeatedly to produce test footage ad a number of drafts of the music video, before heavy final editing for the final construction.

In the above video I illustrate some of the technology we used in Construction, how we used it, and
how we benefited from using it.
how we benefited from using it.
In addition to the SONY Handycam, we also used a Fujifilm Finepix SLR for some of the construction. As Kaitlyn happens to own an SLR camera which is more powerful and professionally targeted than the Handycam, it was effective for shooting, for example, the performance element of the music video; however, when shooting more spontaneous and last-minute material, we used the Handycam for its availability within the Media Studies department and its ease of use.

In the construction of our artist's online profile, we created a website using Wix; we benefited from using this software as it was very straight-forward to use with simple drag and drop tools and options.
