4.How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

This is the equipment I used for the editing process of the music video,

1. The Editing program 'Final Cut Express' was used during the editing process of the music video. This was a good program to edit on it was simple and has a variety of different effects.

2. The Headphone's were used to listen to the audio and we could check that it was lip synced correctly, and to check that the music file sounded clear. Using headphones was easier for us because we could focus our full attention on the music track than other peoples music track in the class room.

3. The Apple Mac was used to edit on because they are fast and reliable and compatible with Hd footage which meant when we got to the editing stage of the project it run effectively.

4. The Keyboard was used to control the editing program and the mac, There were many short cuts within the editing program (final cut express) that can be accessed by the keyboard.

5. The Mouse was used to operate and function the mac itself.

The HD Camera was used to film in HD quality to obtain good quality footage.

The Tripod was used to stand the HD Camera in position of the shot.

The Lens helps to focus on our location.

The handle was used to direct the tripod and focus the camera in direction to film, it was helpful to pan across with the camera keeping it steady.

The microphone was used to pick up sound that we wanted to film.

The battery was charged before we went set out to film on location.
