In the early research stages of our media production we utilized ‘youtube’ is my main method in order to analyze the types of videos and the types of concepts used in dubstep/drum and bass videos. Youtube proved extremely helpful as it has a huge archive
Of videos to analyze as well as public feed back to show how the video is perceived by the public.
We also briefly looked at posters and CD covers to understand the sort of ‘style’ the music gives off. This helped us when it came to making our own posters and CD covers as Chase and status CD covers tend to be plain and and simple so we also tried to keep with their trend as our media production was to the chase and status song ‘time’.
We used photoshop to create our ‘digi-pack’ as it is a simple editing software that gave the possibility to create something of a master piece without it being overly complex.
As photoshop was created as a photo editor/creator it was precise and simple. In terms of editing we didn’t do much to pictures other then add effects such a grey scale and negative but it was extremely helpful as it produced the results we wanted.
As our chosen genre is relatively new and recently starting to become more and more mainstream genre it was interesting to see the different concepts used in videos as a lot of them were art house and a few are narrative.
Through the production stages the main technologies used were the cameras and final cut pro. Final cut was the most important part of our production as it allowed us to construct and edit the different shots we had acquired. We used final cut pro’s filters in order to create various different effects (flash backs etc) and took advantage of the fade transition option to make the video run smoothly and not look ‘jerky’.
Though out the evaluation stages we used cameras to film feedback on our production and also used final cut to produce a directors commentary.
