AS Media Evaluation:

Technology

PowerPoint I used PowerPoint with four aspects of my coursework. They were tasks one,

four, ten and the media pack from thirteen. As well as this piece of work

here. These are a few screen shots from those tasks.

Task 1

Task 4

Task Ten

Task 13-Media Pack

The PowerPoint software allows you to create

things in perfect chronological order with its

easy slide system, this was particularly useful

when I had to cover specific areas like

“language” “genre and “content”

PreziI used the presentation software of Prezi for the following pieces of coursework;

homework one, task five, and homework two and task 14 and evaluation question 2

These are some screenshots of this work.

Task 5

Homework 2

Task 14

Evaluation

Question 2

Homework 1

Prezi allows my presentations to be fluid

further more its features meant all of the

work could be done on one canvas rather

than slides. To add to this the brackets

provided mean pieces of text can be broken

up.

WordWord was used on four occasions. They were in tasks two, three and twelve as

well as some questionnaire summaries. Here are the examples.

Summary

Word is great for large volumes of text based

work. It allowed me to give vast detail on the

above pieces of work.

EmazeEmaze was used in tasks nine, thirteen, evaluation task

three and homework 3. These are screenshot examples.

Task 9

Task 13 Homework 3

Evaluation Question 3

Emaze has helped the slides in my

presentation become more visual which

is different to PowerPoint.

PoppletI have only used Popplet once during my coursework, and it was with task 6.

Popplet is ideal for a mind map style, its

tools and layout meant that I could explain

the work in different sections with ease and

clarity.

VismeVisme was used for the evaluation, question 3.

Visme is very similar to PowerPoint in the way its

slide format helps to methodically complete work.

PiktochartI have used Piktochart on two occasions, firstly for the summary of audience

feedback on my completed magazines and secondly for question 5 of the

evaluation which was audience appeal.

Evaluation Question 5

Summary of audience

feedback on the final

magazine pages.

Piktochart gives me the option to import a

wide range of resources like charts, images

and videos.

Survey Monkey I have completed the majority of my audience feedback on this survey site.

Survey Monkey

Survey monkey has allowed me to get genuine results from a target audience as

well as collect results through the social media.

YouTube/CamcorderYouTube helped me publicise my focus group interviews and the use of a

camcorder meant I could create audio resources.

YouTube is perfect for coursework because it can be accessed by anyone. The camcorder is

very useful because an audio piece added variety to my work.

Publisher Publisher was perfect for creating draft layouts for each of the magazine pages.

Draft front cover Draft Double Page Spread Draft Contents Pages

Publishers page options allowed me to pick

the correct page sizes when making the page

draft layouts. Furthermore the shape tool

meant I could display where texts like

Mastheads and feature article would go.

PhotoshopThe Photoshop software was the clear choice when producing the magazine

pages.

Photoshop is the ideal editing software to create a

magazine page. It is the tools that allow this to

happen. These tools include airbrush, this helps

modify your artist complexion to a “perfect”

standard, without blemishes or spots. The ability to

change your canvas size means you can find the

correct size for your page.

SlidesThe website Slides was used to make a summary of the focus group interviews.

Slides meant I could uses a familiar PowerPoint layout whist not using PowerPoint

itself.

Powtoon I used Powtoon for question one of the evaluation. Here are some of the screen shots

Powtoon had the ability to help me create an audio visual piece of work, once

again this give more variety compared to the other presentation websites.
