Goodwin's theory can highly impact and influence my final product of the music video and by following his codes and conventions I can effectively create a professional and interesting music video. However as a group decision, we concluded that we wanted to challenge his viewpoints of music videos. As a result of challenging many theorists such as Goodwin and stereotypes that are created and followed by many people we wanted to flourish in expressing our creativity and originality when revealing the music video to our audience. The Prezi software and online application offers many advantages such as having the ability to  make 3D slides so it would be more eye catching, I can customize my own background and template os it can suit the different and specific presentation that I want to create and the program is very easy to use due to its simplisitc features and tools. Below is the link to a brief presentation of my analysis of Andrew Goodwin: Prezi Link -  https://prezi.c

This post highlights the google drive link for my Ancillary Music Video Project as I have previously attempted to upload the MP4. file onto YouTube however the music that I used (The Weeknd - Tell Your Friends) was copy-written and the video was taken down. Thus the link below will guide you to my google drive for my summer music video: Google Drive Link :  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lWTYhShrLg0rrD9c5M6hfb5pEldYfCDj/view?usp=sharing Whilst following the GOOGLE drive link you will experience this error (as shown in image above), to overcome this error you need to download the video and then you will be directed to this website ( as shown below). However due to the technological problems that have been caused to due my Sony Vegas software being a completely different update system this impacted the ease of accessibility and portability to my school computer. In contrast, due to the music being used in the video (The Weeknd - Tell Your Friends) being copy-written the video

The purpose of this post is to highlight the history and events of America in the 1970's; the implementation in the creation of this mind map help our group visualise the struggle and events that impacted peoples lives and how it altered the politics and society of the time period. As a result of this creation, the mind map helps my group to easily understand more about this time period which may also offer us more inspiration due to the time period from this information. Categorising points such as the image below truly paints a vivid picture and creates a widening of understanding to the construction and building of references to the societal culture. If we plan and construct a mind map of focus and widening of ideas can easily be condensed and understand the reasoning behind many factors of our music video such as costume and characters etc.

The purpose of this post is to convey the media strategy that I decided to use for my fourth evaluation question; for this instance, I chose the online animation website "Powtoon" as I could easily create professional and modern animations in the display of the question. However before creating the animation I firstly wrote about 2000 words into Microsoft Word in which I then could easily alter or change and misspellings or to easily edit the sentence. I believe the use of PowToon can highlight the creative aspect in my work and the creativity I wanted to produce to show my evaluation questions in an original way. However, one disadvantage and drawback of using this service is the total time allowed with all slides is only 5 minutes which may hinder my editing skills and cause maybe a repetition in watching the video twice. Furthermore this is one of the best programs and software to use as it was free and offers a huge variety of original art and images that I can easily imp

The purpose of this post is to display the link to the YouTube video which portrays my explanation and research into evaluation question 3. For this question I decided to implement the use of a voice over on top of a video that entails many images and gifs; to produce this technique I recorded the audio on my phone and then transferred the voice recordings into Sony Vegas. After this I imported many images and gifs from google images and then later compressed the video into a mp4; as a result of this conversion I could easily import my condensed video and publish it onto YouTube. This application easily displays my video due to YouTube's ease of accessibility thus making the viewing from the moderator very easy and effective. In contrast to the use of gifs, these offer a more interesting viewing point for the audience and examiner, thus adding to the overall professionalism and creativity.

For the second evaluation question I decided to use Microsoft PowerPoint as this software is very easy to use and also I am confident in presenting and using the tools to create an artistic and original piece of work. I have a intermediate skill set and understanding whilst using Microsoft applications throughout my time in school so this was a very effective in my original creation to answer an evaluation questions.
