Evaluation task 4

Research and planning
For research and planning we used man different websites and different softwares. One that helped us greatly at the start of the project was YouTube. This was helpful as it allowed us to get and idea of other genre types and other songs in the same genre as 'Chris Brown - Froze'. For instance we looked a Ne-Yo So Sick and Ray-J - One Wish as these songs were both in the same genre, but also had the same lyrics, to and extent, and also same mood and tempo to the song. This helped us geta good idea of the kind of shots and editing we needed to be successful to match the video to the usual genre type and characteristics.

Construction
We used Final Cut Express to edit our music video. We found this very useful as this gave us the ability to edit on the beat to a good standard which is vital in a music video to achieve the correct mood and feel. It also allowed us t cut smoothly in and out of shots and scenes. For instance a the end of our music video we wanted to have quick shots to represent how things had changed ect. Final cut express allowed us to do this with ease and efficieny to a good and professional level. Final cut express also gave the us te option of putting in and special peffects we wanted. We sus this to our advantage to adapting the lighter shots, making some darker but also adding blue tint to the back ground to create a 'frozen' effect.

Evaluation
When it came to the evaluation stage of our project, blogger was the website we used. This was very helpful as you can easily post blogs to at any stage and have the opportunity to reflect on that post during the process as blogger allowed easy planning of your blog to retract your steps and find a blog with information that you may wish to use. Blogger also allowed us to post man types of technologies in posts, for instance YouTube clips, Prezi's and Final Cut Express videos. This became helpful as this enabled me to use different applications on the same blog, restricting confusing and loosing any work I had done.
