How did you use media technologies in
the construction, research, planning
and evaluation stages?
Introduction
Throughout the course of my A2
media studies I have used many
different media platforms. Blogger
is a media platform which I have
used throughout the whole of my
A2 media studies creating a blog to
record my work as well as making
my work easily accessible for my
teacher.
As well as the use of blogger I have also used other
media technologies such as web tools to put my
work onto, Adobe Photoshop to edit my music video
together. All of these media platforms I have used
previously at AS media, so I had an idea on how each
of these platforms works.
Research
Blogger
Blogger is
Google’s free tool
for creating blogs.
Blogs, short for
web-logs, are a
form of online
journal.
Blogger has been easy to use
throughout my media as creating a
blog is very easy to use also
embedding web tools makes the
information to put on my blogs
more interesting.
Prezi
'History of music videos post', a
post I created on Prezi which
looks at the history of music
videos widening my knowledge of
the topic.
YouTube
I used YouTube to watch music
videos of the same style genre
to analyse them. Taking into
consideration Mise en scene,
narrative, and editing. I
analysed Ed Sheeran's - Give
me love.
Lyrics.com
I have done some
independent research into
the lyrics of my chosen song,
by breaking the song down
and looking at the lyrics
helps me get a better
understanding of the
narrative.

Storyboard
By creating a storyboard helps with the planning of
filming, by drawing out each of the shots that we
are going to film helps us in preparation. The way I
used media technology for this was by taking a
photograph of the finished storyboard and
transferring it onto my computer and then onto my
blog.
Pete Frasers 10 step guide
The guide explains a lot about
music videos and how they work,
as well as how to make a perfect
music video. By using media
technologies through looking at
his website.
Filming and Editing
Adobe Premier Pro
To edit our music video together we
used Premier Pro putting the clips
together along to the music.
YouTube
We needed to look up how to do certain
techniques when editing our music video
together, watching YouTube videos helped us
with this.
We filmed our video on a Canon EOS Camera
Throughout the stages we also used a
smartphone iPhone 6 to film parts,
such as our audience feedback

For my evaluation questions I have used web tools to
present my information.
