Question 4: part 1

HOW WE USED THE INTERNET TO HELP US WITH OUR

RESEARCH AND PLANNING.

On our blog we have analysed a different selection of music videos which helped us look at conventions we adapted to fit into our video, we did this so we could see how to create something similar and to see how our genre stands out in comparison to other genres and how to use techniques that reflect and fit into our genre of music.

Without the internet we would not have been able to see these videos and take inspiration from existing professional material.

RESEARCHING EXISTING VIDEOS

In addition we have analysed professional digipaks and posters and researched conventions that are used which have given us ideas and saved us time as we were able to plan what we were going to do effectively and create an expect look.

The internet has a huge range to different cd covers and allcdcovers.com helped us access digipaks that were suited to our genre and gave us inspiration.

RESEARCHING EXISTING DIGIPAKS AND POSTERS

We also used the internet with initial research to choose a genre we were familiar with and a genre which would result in the highest quality of work, it was important to us then to choose the indie genre it is all about creativity and

RESEARCH INTO THE INDIE GENRE

We used the internet to research different ideas we could input into our digipak and poster we then decided to create a cartoon and found various different styles on the internet which helped us narrow it down to two styles which saved us time and gave us the best two styles to experiment with.

RESEARCH HOW TO CREATE DIFFERENT STYLES OF CARTOONS

I used the internet to help a lot with questionnaires. Survey monkey allowed me to send out a single questionnaire to my whole school, which saved me so much time and attain great results.

The questionnaires I asked contributed to the content I put in each of my products for example, our questionnaire on CD covers allowed us to choose to put an image of the artist on the front instead of the cartoon image we produced as more people enjoyed seeing the artist on the front cover of their album.

QUESTIONNAIRES

This was the most popular front coverThis was the

second most popular which is why we chose to put some art on the inside cover

Lastly, we used the internet to help us to pick and then research the lyrics of a song which helped us to understand the meaning of the song which gave us ideas for our video.

We also used the internet to google key words in the song to get a visual representation of what the words meant to give us some inspiration.
