Research:
- Internet - We used YouTube to look at videos from similar artists to our chosen artist.

One advantage of using the sites that we used for our research was that they are accessible from any computer at any location, which means we could do our research whenever we wanted, providing there was internet access. One disadvantage of the sites we used was that they can be quite unreliable, especially Wikipedia, as anybody can go onto it and change the information, so we needed to make sure that our information was totally correct, which is why we used a variety of different websites.
Planning:
- Internet - We used email to contact the record company/searching up sunset times for our filming.
- Photoshop - We used this to make rough designs for our dikipak and poster.

We used sunset/sunrise timing website so we could see what time we needed to film when doing our performance shots, as we needed to get the sunset in the background, so this website enabled us to make sure we filmed in time and not miss the sunset that we want. This helped us a lot whilst creating our media text as it enabled us to plan in advance for what times we needed to start filming, and what times we needed to be finished by, in order to get the best, most appropriate sun light possible for our video.

Construction:
- HD camera - This was used to film all of the shots for our video.
- Computer - This was used to edit the video to make it how we wanted it to look. We used iMovie for the rough cuts, and for our final piece we used AECS6.
- Photoshop - We used this to create pictures for our magazine and digipak and add any effects onto pictures if we needed to.

The computer enabled us to put our shots in the order that we wanted them, and do anything else with them that we wanted. On the computers, we used iMovie to create any videos we wanted. We chose to use iMovie rather than Final Cut because although iMovie is more simple than Final Cut, it still has all the necessary functions on it that can help us make a very good video.
We used Photoshop to complete any designs we had for our digipak or our magazine article. We used Photoshop because it has the appropriate tools on there to enable us to make a professional looking design, and it isn't too difficult to learn how to use.

I have also used YouTube when doing my evaluation, as the questions are linked to my G324 task (music video), and I often needed to refer to my G324 task to help me find appropriate answers for the questions.
