No Individual - Draft 3

Question 4 continued

Here in the picture above me and Will came up with a way to show how each piece of technology is used in each stage: Reseach, planning and construction.
The technology used was infogram.

Question 4 - How did you use technologies in your planning, research and evaluation stages

  

Ben used a Survey monkey as a technology to gain feedback from our target audience. He displayed results from age groups, gender and how often people listened to Indie music and how popular it was. He also added in the feedback from our video and what people suggested on how we could improve this.

Album cover ideas

When looking for album cover ideas Will came across a video on YouTube which showed him how to have a silhouette on the cover as an image. This was effective for our band as it links into our mysterious side and the concept theme from our video.

Written feedback

Here is a couple of examples of what people thought of our video and what areas they would improve

Audience feedback

We asked a few media students from year 12 to assess our music video 

Evaluation - powtoon

For my evaluation question I decided to use a new format that I haven't used before. I feel this helped show my ability to adapt to new programme and use it effectively.
My choice of software was 'powtoon'. This technology has many choices of animations and text effects that i have used to help engage my audience into the presentation. This software is similar to power point but is more interactive and interesting.
