With the availability of Google's extensive range of programs, we were able to research which locations we would use with StreetView and Google maps. With this, we were able to look for suitable locations to use, and with the ability to take a 360 degree view, we were even able to plan possible shots before we got to the location, which was very helpful, as it saved us a lot of time. We also found the song lyrics for "Cry Me A River", which made it easier for our performer to learn the lyrics, instead of repeatedly listening to the song and try to learn them, again saving us time.
Youtube played a huge role in our research, due to its ease of use and the content available. When we were planning about which song to use for our video, we had Michael Jackson in mind, and we decided that he was going to be a part of the video in some form. This instantly lead us to type in his name into Youtube, and after watching a few videos, we found a link to a Justin Timberlake video, and after our first view of Cry Me A River, we all decided to use that song for our music video. Also, we got effects for some of the backgrounds on our green screen which we used in our video. For example, the smoke and the rain effects that we used were essential to our final product, due to the unpredictable weather. We also had to use footage of glass smashing, which we first tried to reproduce by ourselves, but with our camera not being able to shot in slow motion, and the picture quality not being of the highest standard, we decided to use the clip from Youtube instead.
