4. How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

We had to overcome problems at the beginning of our planning. This is because we could not use a song that had been copyrighted, therefore we used a website called www.unsigned.com


This website has a variety of different genre types that we could choose from. However my group and I already decided we wanted to do an acoustic genre based video. This narrowed down our problems of finding what type of song we wanted. We found Carl Hauck near enough straight away when looking and instantly began thinking what we could do for his song. The reason as to why we chose him was because he was different from other acoustic videos we had previously heard in the past. Also, his songs were slow, however they were not 'stupidly' slow.
To make sure we could use his song to produce into a music video we had to email him. This was his response;

Having reassurance from his licensing company that we could use his song, we began to plan. He also provided a link to his website which helped us get an idea of what Carl Hauck's image was about. His website is very simplistic however it related back to his genre type. The way in which it linked back to his genre type was because of the colour schemes he's used.

The colour schemes shown in this print screen shot demonstrate what I mean when I say he links back to the acoustic genre. In previous CD/Digipaks I have found that beige and most browns have been used, they link back to the colour of the instrument most acoustic artists play (guitar) and shows a sense of naturalistic.
