4. (i) How Did You Use New Media Technologies In The Construction And Research, Planning and Evaluation Stages?

To create our video we used the program "iMovie." We chose to use this program as i have had had previous experience with it and know how to use and therefore we were able to manipulate our footage to create an artistic and effective final piece. To make the different clips flow together to make create a continuity in the editing, we added a "cross dissolve" transition to allow the clips to fade into each other.
The saturation is very low in our video to create a film like effective, also due to the weather, the lighting was different each time we took new shots. Therefore, by using a low saturation we were able to manipulate the lighting effects to make it seem like it was all shot continuously. The second image shows how we changed the saturation and the contrast of white and black.
We wanted our film to be in reverse and often we needed to slow down the speed of the film to make her running backwards look more exaggerated. The third photo shows how we did this. It also reveals how we added the black "vignette" shadows around the side of the video.
To create our music video we needed to remove the sound from the original film footage, as the filming took place outside a lot of wind and background noise was heard in the audio. How we did this is shown in the last image.
