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

I had the use of differenct HD cameras, which allowed me to capture clear videos and pictures along with steadicams and tripods. Both of these added together meant that I was able to capture smooth videos and pans with minimal shuddering, although for some extracts was not up to the same standard as the rest of the clips. For editing, I was cut down on my choices of editing software so I ended up using Windows movie maker which was readily available for me to use anywhere, anytime. This also meant I had to reduce the quality of said video extracts.

For editing and creating the digipaks I used Adobe Photoshop CC, as I already had experience using this software it wasn't particulary tasking to edit the digipaks on this. Given the level of complexity and different effects available I made full use of subtle effects which meant that I could bring out the best in an image. However having said that the images themselves look natural with minimal editing which is how I wanted to portray the artist as he is a new artist to the music industry. I also had the use of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to 'advertise' my work and show my target audience. This meant I could easily gain feedback and write it down and change it.
