How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

Digital technologies have changed the way the both major and independent record labels market and how the audience consumes it. When working for my music video, I very muchrelied on different kind of digital technologies. I used different softwares, hardwares and online technologies to complete my task.

INTRODUCTION

Software

In this category I used different softwares whiledoing my task. I used Microsoft Powerpoint to create different presentations regarding my course work e.g presentation on music video analysis, research on music genre and codes and convention of digipak. Powerpoint helped me organize my research work and ideas as it is accessible way to create and present.

Now I comes to Adobe Photoshop 7. This is aphoto editing software and it allows us to usemany techniques in photo while editing it. photoshop can do nearly anything regardingonline media. I used this software to edit images and photos for digipak and website. I also created logo for my music band in this software. It played an important part in completion of my A2 corse work.

At last I used wevideo software to give credits in end of the video. This was an easy work and helped me a lot.

I used Adobe premiere Pro CS6 for my video editing Work. Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is a timeline-based video editing software application.I just used this software in A2 corse work (Foundation Portfolio). This includes several Techniques and features that I used in my video i.eDesolve, merge and over lap.

Hardware section has played an important part in the digital technology too. I used different kind of hardwares in my A2 coreswork (Foundation Portfolio). I used different kind of cameras, tripod, SD cards, Pen Drives, CD/DVDs and mobile phone as digital technology (hardware) in my A2 corsework.

transfer of huge data through DVDs was made easily.

Mobile phone helped me in several ways.Mobile helped me as an additional camera,space for storage and to make a contact with

my group members.

ONLINE

Online digital technology is another part which played an important role in my course work production. I used Google for the research work. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram helped me a lot to share my ideas and get feedback from audience. Several online videos browsers i.e Youtube, Vimeo and Dailymotion helped me to analyze music videos and evaluate my video. I used a website (WIX.COM) to create my own website for my music band. I used Slideshare to upload my presentation and Blogger to upload and compile my whole course work production (Advance Portfolio).
