Youtube is another new media technology that I used in the construction, evaluation and research stages of my media product. From Imovie I could directly export my final product to youtube, this was ideal as the technologies interlinked making it a very user friendly experience. Youtube also allowed me to gather ideas and shot angles for my product, YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. As youtube is one of the largest video sharing sites it had a vast array of music videos, both professional and novice made.Youtube was vital to the planning stages of my music video, without it then I would not of had a time lapse in my video or I would not have a variety of shots. Youtube also allowed me to plan the costume within my media product. As youtube is so large it had many videos from the niche audience of indie.
Other new media technologies such as facebook could be used. Although I did not use facebook to get constructive criticism of my product, It would of been useful to do this, as you would get an honest opinion from people around you, rather than want you wanted to hear from class feedback.
Photoshop Cs4 allowed me to create an aesthetically pleasing product, something that used a variety of processes to create an end product rather than basic manipulation on iphoto.
