2. Research and Planning
Preliminary Task – Digital HD Camcorder used to record the task and Vimeo to upload the video onto a site without it being blocked due to copyright
Theorists – To research into the different theorists relating to music videos I used Google. To present these ideas on my blog I have used Prezi and Vimeo.
Existing Music Videos/Student Work – To analyse music videos and music video director’s work I used YouTube to access the videos.
Case Study/Independent Research – All done using the Internet
Audience Research - Video uploaded onto Youtube

6. Review
Digital HD Camcorder – It was useful for filming some scenes such as the dance scenes however the quality wasn’t perfect .
Vimeo – I used Vimeo to upload videos and although it allowed me to upload videos without them getting blocked for copyright it was a hassle to upload onto the site and not as easy to share/access as YouTube.
Google Maps – Effective in getting the bird eye shots I wasn’t able to capture
PowerPoint/Excel – Helpful with presenting different pieces of information
BeFunky/Canva – Both very useful to making what I presented nice and editing images
Sony Vegas Pro – Excellent for the editing and hugely beneficial however access to it wasn’t 24/7 making it hard to edit at times.
Windows Live Movie Maker – Easy to access and edit however not advanced
