Here is a screen shot from my music video where i used lighting techniques for the first time

notes for evaluation

How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research planning and evaluation stages.

to make my music video i used Windows movie maker, as i found it was a simple and familiar editing software that i had used before in my previous edits before i started this course. As my experience with the software grew i learned how to properly use it effectively.

i used Photoshop CS5 to edit my digipak and album cover as i have been using the software for the past 2 years in my photography a level course.

Progression of my music video

Progression of my music video

I have been using windows movie maker to edit my music video. It is a simple editing software however it is easy to use and effective.

 This screenshot shows film clips that were shot in the winter in Alton . I chose this location due to the solidarity of the location, i found it suitable to shoot some footage their .

Here are some more clips i shot at West Wittering beach, the location again was suitable for the shoot as the beach was
empty.

Due to the song being about wanting some one back to be your lover, I  Decided to cut out words that match the lyrics of the song from different newspapers and magazines. Using the different fonts and colors of the cut out words to add mise en scene in to my music video. i also have incorporated some of the clips from the beach and from the fields in Alton. 

Shown here are the recorded clips of the word i cut out from the different newspapers and articles.

Here below is my finished music video
