Evaluation- Question 4

Technology

Blogger - Blogger became an essential part of our work as it was what we used to present all our research and planning work.
Although we were new to blogger it didn't take longer to figure out how to use it. We learnt how to embed videos and upload images to blogger, this was sometimes challenging as the image would not always be placed where we wanted it. We overcame this by typing the text first and then putting then inserting the images after so it would not look messy.

Cameras - As we have been studying media for 3 years, we are used to using the cameras and tripods. However,it was important we remembered how to brought more than one camera with us when filming. This was essential as it helped us get different shot, also, if one was to run out we still had the other.
We also had to remember to import our work from the camera to the mac computer straight away so that we didnt loose any work if other students were to use the camera.

Imovie- Imovie was a very essential part to our music video as it was needed to put everything in order, make any lighting changes, change it to black and white and lip sync it.

Photoshop- Mary and I found Photoshop the most challenging part. We had to use it when creating our digipak. We used it to polish and perfect our pictures, and to add any text needed.

Health and Safety

Health and safety risk assessment
By Mary Thompson

This is a risk assessment that we have conducted before we begin to film our media music video.
Making a risk assessment helps us identify the risks and dangers of our filming task and how to deal with them if they do happen.

Magazine advertisement research

Rihanna magazine advertisement 
By Leah Gathergood

We looked at Rihanna's album advertisement. The advertisement focus's on the colour red, which matches Rihanna's hair colour and also connotes sex appeal, which is part of her star motif. The advertisement also includes her name, album name and cover of the album and the date of when it comes out. The background also shows a shot from a video of one of the songs on her album. 

Katy Perry advertisement 

When looking at Katy Perry's advertisement we noticed there was many similarities to Rihanna's. For example, it also has a background of Katy Perry and a small picture of the album cover on top. This is something we will consider when creating out advertisement. 

Also, It is written clearly when the album is out, which is important to the reader. 

Katy Perry has used a bright colour theme that matches her quirky persona. There is also a mention of the most popular song on the album, which is a good idea as it may make it more appealing to buy.
