We have used a wide variety of technologies in the use of making our video and reporting about it, in doing so we have learnt to use them correctly. One item we have used is a tripod, a three legged stand for our camera, it keep the camera stable and level, it also makes us able to do pans and tilts.
We have also obviously used a camcorder to record the opening, it was very easy to use as it is small light and easy to work, this is very different to early filming equipment as it used to be hard to work and large, due the advancement of technology it means that small budget music video makers can used the cheap easy equipment so that they can afford to make the video. Also the battery never ran out on us, that is to say it lasted for a sufficiently long time, so that potential problem did not happen to us. Also, the LCD screen is really useful as you don't have to lean right up into the lens to see what you're filming as the case is with older cameras; it is more comfortable this way and you can hold the camera steadier whilst viewing if you're filming without a tripod.
Another piece of equipment we used was a scanner to import our story board onto the computer. We also made good use of youtube to watch videos that influenced us, ,
we also used blogger to post our work on a easy to use network which meant it was easy to access from any computer with the internet, it is also a more interesting place to do work on rather simply on a paper which would be very boring.
i movie was the software we used to make our music video, we leart how to use it efficiantly an it was very easy to use. The website that we found realy usefull was google, we used google to help us with pritty much everything due to its unlimited supply of information.
during our research and planning stage we have used many different types of media technologies to give use the best and most suited information needed to match the needs and wants of our target audience
in order to start looking into serious ideas for our media product allot of textual analysis on cd covers, videos and magazine ad's. in order to do that i used the Internet allot to find all needed information for example i used youtube to analysis videos to try and get a feel for the conventions that belong to our music genre. The closest video that i analysed to the genre of our band is Buddy Holly by Weezer. Conventions such as seeing the band play and using ideas that people are familiar with i.e. television programmes, are common practise in this genre and we intend to take influences from these kinds of videos.
I also used other websites to find screenshots and images of what i analysed and took three examples for each area of analysis (cd cover, videos and mag ads). These websites including Google images and allcdcovers.com. This helped me to explore new genres and find other products related to the things i already found making it easier to widen my analysis.

For our questionnaire we used a series of images from google as well, but for our analysis of the answers, we decided to put the results onto pie or bar charts in order to analyse majorities and which ideas were favoured most. This was a very useful technique because it was easy to workout which age groups were more likely to watch a video produced by us and also which conventions found in most music videos are favoured by the audience. We also learned that our target audience group is between the ages of 16-19 and that they are probably male orientated just because of the nature of the genre and what i have learned from analysing products from the of punk and Ska. For example the sound of the music is very aggressive and there are rarely any female inclusion in the music.
