Prezi has enabled me to evaluate my work through presentation. It is an interactiive way that i can present my work and is slightly more apealing to the eye than a simple powerpoint presentation. I had not used Prezi before my A2 project so found it fairly complex when i started but after a while i managed to get used to it. I believe the use of Prezi is most effective in the evaluation stage as it is more interactive than a heavily text based essay describing the media technologies i used, with this i am able to encouprate images as well as you tube links.
Slideshare allows people to publically or privatley upload presentations online. Slidshare allowed me to upload presentations i had made on powerpoint then transfer these to bogger, meaning that my blog wasnt heavily text based and had a mixture of media technologies within.
I used slideshare for research and planning. The example i have print screened of when i used slideshare, was whilst conducting research into the chosen artist The Weeknd. I put together a small presentation about the iconic images the artist used and a brief summary of his carrer, the reason for it being so short is that The Weeknd himslef is a new artist to the music industry and had only started his career around 2 years ago. I found this media technology in particular usable and easy.
Facebook and Twitter are both very popular social interaction websites. When using this particular media technology i thought it best to use it in the evaluation stage. With the use of Youtube i was able to post the final video on my facebook page as well as on my Twitter profile. I was able to use the comment from Facebook for my second evaluation question, the feedback was critical aswell as positive. By publishing on facebook an number of my friends also shared it on their profile.
Further media technologies that helped me when planning, researching and making my final video was the hardware. Advanced smart phones, digital cameras, video cameras and Apple Macs all contributed. We usd digital cameras when taking pictures for our digipak and poster, this gave a clear and sharp picture appropriate to use and edit to reflect the style we wanted to recreate. I used my Blackberry which is a smartphone to take photos of possible locations as at the time we didnt have a digital camera with us. In terms of shooting our video we used a video camera, we decided against a tripod as we wanted the video to look slightly homemade so we opted for the handheld. To use the editing programme imovie we used an Apple mac which is slightly more technologically advanced than a windows computer.
We also used Youtube to upload the video which meant we could publish it on facbook and twitter and also on our blogs. This media technology helped me throughout and also allows people to comment on the video giving useful feedback.
Youtube was a predominant media technology i used throughout my project. I started to use Youtube when conducting my rsearch, i went on Youtube to search for three videos of the R&B genre to analyse.
