Evaluation Question Four (Summary)
How did you use new media technologies in the in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?
Over the past decade technology both in itself and within the internet
had progressed dramatically. Now artists can freely upload their music onto
YouTube, connect with their audience through UStream and even crowd source
for funding products. When it came to creating a Portfolio for my A2 Media
Studies coursework I chose to present it on an online Blogger. By using the
internet I have had many more opportunities for presenting my
research, planning, construction and evaluation stages. I have been able to
create PowerPoint’s and embed them online using SlideShare. This has enabled
me to efficiently reveal information to my audience as well as have it
clearly laid out in a post on my blog.
Years ago to research a band would have been much more difficult. However
when it came to finding out what the Pop genre consisted of it was very easy
for me to simply look on the internet using sites such as Google. Advertising
our group in order to attract fans was also very easy thanks to the increase
and development of technology. By using social network sites such as Facebook
we were able to quickly get the name of our band out into the public eye for
free. This would have been near on impossible years ago as publishers would
have to have printed posters ect to advertise a band.
Cameras and the equipment included have also dramatically increased. We
were able to use a small camera which had a high quality of pixels and the
filming we got looked very professional. This equipment is what allows small
artists to produce music videos without having to spent lots of money on
expensive items.
Overall I think that our A2 Media Task would have been extremely difficult
if the internet and the technology we used had not been available. I believe I
tried to use a variety of technology within my music video, ancillary tasks
and blogger in order to make them appear more advanced, professional, and a
good quality.

Evaluation Question Three (Ancillary Questionnaire)
'What have you learnt from your audience feedback?
In order to get feedback for my Digipak section and our Poster I decided to create a questionnaire for others to fill out and for me to then use to edit our ancillary tasks.

Our Final Digipak
Here is the image of our final Digipak. I have put them altogether facing one way so you can see what each picture looks like. In reality however, if we were to print the digipak off, we would have to turn the top row upside down in order for the digipak to be effective.
