Digital Technology

Music Magazine
- For the music magazine I had to learn new technological skills for the project. The first technology that was used was the use of blogspot. This online blogging website s something I had never experienced before but adapted to quickly to record my progress on my magazine.
The main technology I was introduced to was using the program photoshop which initially I struggled with but had time to practice it through the preliminary task. Over the course of the project I was able to develop my skills to when I came to complete my final magazine.
A form of technology at which I had already practiced was using a digital camera. I used this to capture photos for use on my preliminary and final piece.

Music Video
- For my music video I had to highly develop my technological skills from AS. The first new piece of technology that I had to learn to use was a video camera, I had to use it to film all of my individual shots for my video
