Finally finished everything

It has been a tough couple of months, making the stop motion/ real music video, making the digipak and advert, re-writing my song and doing the evaluation, so I am happy to announce on this post that I am finally finished.

A lot of work went into the stop motion video, including planning and research, of which was carried out on my blog, although a couple of changes to the storyline were made during the process of making the stop motion.

For the stop motion I had to draw every single picture, including backgrounds, characters, props etc in order to get a perfect and swift moving stop motion video and this of course was incredibly difficult to pull off. I had also had a couple of technical issues involving the camera at the start of the process, which actually meant that I had to re-start the project at least three times, which of course was a nuisance having taken and drawn so many pictures, just for the camera to not have saved them.

There was also a problem with the song, I felt that since so much work had gone into making the stop motion and that there wasn't a single part of it I wanted to re-edit, that I had to edit my song slightly in order for it to fit with the music video as the original song was only a couple seconds out. This meant that I had to record the track again and mix and produce it again, the downside this time is that one of my main condenser microphones had some how blown out which meant that I had to compromise with a weaker microphone.

For more detail about my work, please view the previous posts.

Thank you

Camtasia video for Evaluation question 4.)

How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages? 

For this Camtasia evaluation answer there will be no talking but just the screen showing pictures of the different objects used throughout my A level media including a hint of the software's used and then in another video that will be posted on the same post will be a video with an over voice where I will talk about the software's I used and what I used them for.

Here is the video that shows off the two main software's that I used, I also use Imovie but only for the reality section and on my personal Mac so its much harder to get a video of that process.

Here is a video showing my editing process in further detail, using Final cut pro as the software.
