HOW DID YOU USE NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION,RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?

firstly of course the use of a blog, whilst using a blog is not completely new to me, using one to this capacity is. i found it rather strange at first, as ideally id prefer to work on paper, or in a book, simply as i find it more creatively attractive but using this blog for such a long time, i have become used to it, plus i like that you can change all sorts like the format, pictures, fonts, colours etc.
i like the idea of blogging,its a simple way of keeping track of everything, its neat, tidy and and easy to use as everything is in date order. another plus point of using a blog, is that you can come back to edit your posts, or add extras to them. also, the idea of others commenting on your work, either criticism's or encouraging ideas. blogging is also easier for this kind of work as you can easily add images, sounds, links, videos etc, which is so much easier than trying to record such applications on paper, its also more efficient to get feedback, use surveys/questionnaires,share files. other new technologies i have learnt to use for this coursework are:
-video camera.
-digital camera.
-studio equipment (mics, switchboard,speakers etc)
-Microsoft move maker.
-pinnacle studio 14hd.
-photo shop.

all of these new technologies i found quite complicated to use but after some practise became more easy.
a good feature of using my blog has been the comments left, they have helped to to edit and change parts of my coursework, given me guidance and advice on my pieces.

for research i used sites such as google....
this site was particularly useful as i did need to do alot of research when looking at videos, posters, digipacks, bands, production teams, studios etc.
i also used wikipedia, this for some background info on bands looked at and music production.
the newest one of the media technologies would have been YouTube, although i had used the site before,i didn't have my own account, i made it for this assignment, at first i found it quite complex and struggled to upload videos and such but it became easier the more i used it.

i think it was definitely a success using the blog, the feedback and comments i have received have made my production better.
