Stacey Luscott evaluation -

The questions that I chose to write about are:

• In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.



• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

The ways in which the media product that we have created has developed already existing work that has been created by other drum and bass artists, such as Pendulum. We have tried to incorporate examples of what would normally go into a standard drum and bass themed video, such as the video and syncing meeting the beat of the song, a running narrative that matches the lyrics of the song (but this can only be done if there are any such lyrics to speak of). However, we must remember that there are not many drum and bass genre'd videos made, so there aren't really that many conventions to follow.

The technology that we used to create the music video, was first of all, Final Cut Express on the Apple Mac computers. we found this difficult to use at first, but when we got used to it we were fine and we learned how to put in fades and other special effects into the video. We also used Corel Paintshop and Microsoft Word to create out digipak and the advert. Corel was difficult at first to use, like Final Cut, but it was fine after a while. The camera's and the lighting that we used were pretty easy to use as we had used them before.
