Final cut Pro was used when editing our music video. This was the most important piece of software that we used because the whole music video was edited on this software. After filming we had over 2 hours footage on our memory card of various shots and scenes for just a 4 minute music video and so we had to watch all the clips, many of which were at the same location and deleted all the unwanted footage. Even though we deleted most of our footage we still had excess footages and so we had to edit them and put it on the timeline of the song. We edited the clips using final cut pro and inserted them onto the time line matching the beat of the song. After this we put transactions and effects onto the music video using Final cut Pro.
Photoshop
To create our album cover and magazine cover, we used software called ‘Photoshop’. We used this software because we could edit images easily by cropping pictures, changing colors and tones, adding layers, resizing images, having a variety of fonts and by rearranging images and effects to this. The program was very easy to use and gave the products that we produced that professional look to it.
YouTube
During the research stage the YouTube, when analyzing other music videos was very beneficial as it gave us the chance to see other professional videos, which gave us ideas on what to include in our music video. Because of the YouTube, we were able to access global music videos from various countries giving us a wider knowledge on music videos. This allowed us to understand fully how to target a specific audience. We found out that different music videos used different styles and context when targeting a different audience
PowerPoint
This software was used when we took note when we had our initial meeting plan. This was used because it is very easy to use and easy to take notes. Also it was very easy to edit your work if you have made a mistake.
Microsoft word
Microsoft word was also used to produce documents such as the evaluation and other documents. Microsoft was easy to use and made the documents produced very professional. This was also useful when we had to send our idea’s to other members by saving the document and sending it through email.
Facebook
Facebook was used throughout this project helping with the production and the evaluation. First of all we used Facebook to organize filming days and keep in contact with all of our group members. Because all members in our group where active users of the social networking Facebook we were able to stay in contact. For example, if I (Jubil) were to send a message to Gasim he would receive this not only to his computer but to his phone as well helping us to stay contact where ever we are.
In addition to this, we all posted our music video on our Facebook pages. With over 3000 friends between us on just Facebook we were able to show our video to them and ask for feedback. We received good feedback from our friends, which helped increase our confidence in the video. Facebook I would say I faster than ‘word of mouth’ because one post you put on Facebook is seen my hundreds of views helping to increase publicity of the video.
