Question 4: How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
I used Hardware and Software during my planning and research, production and evaluation of my coursework. Below is two prezi's which look at the hardware and software individually and how I used each one in the relevant stages. Overall hardware and software were the foundations of my coursework without them I wouldn't have been able to produce my music video. I didn't have that many technical issues. However the main issues I did have were:
YouTube upload time: Often I found that the speed of uploading videos was very slow. Overnight I had left a four minute video to upload, in the morning it still wasn't completed. Therefore I couldn't upload many videos from home. From college it was difficult to upload videos because the internet speed was temperamental, sometimes the videos would upload in twenty minutes however other times it gave me times like 2333 minutes which was really slow and unrealistic.
Internet: Linked back with the YouTube one, the wifi had ran out at my house (partly due to the attempts to upload videos) therefore I couldn't access it. I do talk about this in the software prezi however it was one of my main problems I ran into relating to technology.

4th Filming Shoot
We started at a similar time to the previous days. Allowing the full day to complete filming.
Location: Bedroom at my Grandmas
Scene: Bridge scene, a few extra scenes we didn't get in the first shoot (or that was too dark)
We started filming at around 10am and finished around 1pm (stopping for lunch break inbetween) I was really pleased with the outcome. Below is the video to show our day.
We didn't run into any problems as it was quite a straightforward shoot, I had started early to make sure there was plenty of daylight time. Also I had made sure that the battery was charged sufficiently and whenever we took breaks (i.e. for dinner) I made sure it was on charge.

3rd Filming Shoot
3rd Shoot: Tuesday
Location: My back garden
Scene: Chorus
I got up at 7am as I had to drive back to my grandmas (previous day's filming location) as I had left the camera charger there. On the way back I picked Phoebe up at 8:30 and Nicole at 9:00. We got back to mine at 9:15 and then while I charged the camera the girls got ready.
As it was a scene outside I was aware it was cold, luckily it was sunny and not raining or snowing. Because of the coldness I wanted to minimize the amount of time the actresses had to be outside, we practiced scenes indoors before going outside so they knew what they was doing. (This can be seen in the video below). I also had them both in dressing gowns/coats so that between scenes outside they could be warm. As they was mostly kneeling we took kitchen roll out to pad the ground between the mud and their knees. We had finished filming by 1:00pm and had got all the footage we needed for these scenes.
Costume: The costume Phoebe wore (greek-style) was a piece which Phoebe's mum had handmade, and the dress Nicole wore (pink) was a lace one I owned.
