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

The technologies I was intended to use was my laptop, and programs such as Sony Vegas, the camera files which I reordered with worked well with my program I was using, unlike the troubles it brought with using it within school.
I had recorded all most to the T with my music video and my story board, and id put most of it all together with a perfect sync between music and videos, especially the gutairing and because the whole rendering took around an hour on a laptop I never got round to rendering. I started on my digipak and I used Photoshop 7, which worked well with my idea of having a ying and yang effect within the music and the CD/DVD combo.

When it got closer to handing in the coursework, my laptop broke, the motherboard had basically burned out and broke, and I had lost all my work.

So in two day I had to re-write a story board which had to keep a story line, and be able to be recorded within the area my school is in, I had two days to plan, get my actors together and then put together, then redesign a Digipak, then sort out my blog to fit in, and rewrite parts of my evaluation, the longest part was making sure I had rendered in a proper format and this was because it could take from 10 mins to an hour, and I had to do it within school time because I didn’t have the software at home, id put the current video together within an hour and half, and then another 2 hours to render sort out any problems I found and then re-render and then upload to YouTube and then put it on my blog.

Because I had recorded before I was able to work out a time scale and over the two days I had managed to record my music video, and then start to put it together.

The digipak re-do I done on my Desktop computer at home, this was harder than before because I didn’t have programs I worked with on a regular basis, but I luckily had Adobe fireworks which I had a past knowledge within using, and I also used Microsoft paint, which actually come in handy for the writing because my program had “internal error accord” pop up every time I pushed a key. And then Microsoft image editor to Finnish the pictures of and save them in the right format.

Other than that I did not use any other programs and didn’t have any other issues.

I used YouTube, and Google. sites to host videos and other files for my blog, which I then linked to my Blog: my YouTube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/lee577
