Evalution Question 4

I used ‘You Tube’ to look at different RnB music videos in order to get different ideas of the types of techniques they use and different angle shots, so that we could add them in our music video in order to meet some of the obvious conventions of the genre, and to make our music video look professional. We also used You Tube to look at tutorials on how to do different techniques on Premiere Pro and I personally used it to learn how to use photoshop as I wasn’t that great at using it.

We used the ‘camera’ in order to film our music video, we also used it to take photos in order to put them on our blogs' and in our booklet of our digi pak as it made it look like a professional digi pak because usually artist in RnB genres have photos of them working, which we wanted to do as well, so we can show ourselves working.

We used ‘survey monkey’ in order to ask our target audience what they wanted to see and expect in a music video in RnB, so the survey monkey website was a good way to gain feedback and gave us an idea of what types of things to include in our music video and what type of song they would like to hear.

We used ‘amazon’ in order to do some research on what a CD cover looked like. On amazon I searched Cd's like ‘Beyonce’, ‘Kelly Rowland’, and many more, in order for me to see what current RnB artist CD covers looked like. This gave me some ideas in to how to make my CD cover look like. For example one of the main things that I realised was that they usually had the artist face on the cover, which we then went on to also use, as it was an obvious convention and we wanted to kind of do this but with a twist.

We used ‘photoshop’ to make our digi pak and magazine adverts as this programme allowed us to use lots of different techniques in order to give our work a professional finish.
We used ‘Adobe premiere pro cs3’ to do most of our work; we did our editing for our music video on this programme, this programme in able us to use different transitions and editing tools, to make our music video look smooth and real.

We used ‘google’ to find different websites so we could get information on artist in the RnB genre and find different ideas on how to use most of the software.

I used ‘wikipedia’ in order to find background history on ‘Beyonce’ like her dress sense and basic history on her, so i could find out what types of things she likes. Also I used this website for information on conventions on RnB music videos and artist.

I used my ‘facebook’ in order to get some of my target audience for our music video to answer our survey so we could find out what they wanted to see in the music video. I think face book was a good source to gain feedback from because most of our target audience use it.

I used ‘blogger’ to blog most of my feedback and to also gain feedback as well, I used this website to also post my survey and information on ‘beyonce’ and this is the website I used the most to do most of my work.

Finally I used ‘Beyonce’s official website’ to find out information on her and see the different types of music videos she has done in order to get some kind of an idea on what she wears and how her make- up is done in her videos. Also to see what type of editing she has, and what types of story lines and dance routines featured in her music videos.
