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

What is new media technology?

This refers to access to content at anytime no matter where you are on any digital device. For example; Internet, websites, video games, DVDs. However it does not include magazines or T.V programmes.

Which media technology did I use?

Blogger

Blogger played a vital role when it comes to presenting the paper work. This is because blogger was used in order to maintain all the paperwork, in order to present it. Without blogger there would have been no blog, therefore not being able to upload the work onto the site and present it.

YouTube

YouTube helped me throughout the coursework, as I used YouTube in order to find trailers and analyse them. They also have an embedded code so the clip becomes visible on my blog. I also used YouTube in order to upload my final trailer, therefore giving it the chance to be viewed by a wide audience.

Word

Word was used throughout my coursework, as it allows me to type up my paper work and then upload it onto an interactive presentation such as Scribd. It also allowed me to add on pictures, change the font and to add tables for risk assessments.

Scribd

As mentioned in the previous slide, I used Scribd through uploading my word document, in order to make my blog interactive as well as making it look interesting rather than just typing it up and posting it as this will bore audiences.

Microsoft PowerPoint

PowerPoint was used mainly for presentation purposes. For example due to making a presentable PowerPoint allowed me to upload it onto slide share to make my blog interactive. PowerPoint allows you to make a more aesthetically pleasing presentation than word.

Slide Share

As mentioned in the previous slide, I used PowerPoint to make the presentation and then upload it onto slide share in order to make the presentation interactive. This presentation I am doing now too will be uploaded through slide share.

PowToon

This was another interactive way of presenting my work. This was new to me as I was searching for an interactive source to present my work and I found this, and is more interesting than the other ones.

Prezi

Prezi allowed me to add on videos, pictures and texts. This particular site allows more slides to be added on and to be played without having to keep clicking onto a button in order to move to the next slide, which is the same as Powtoon.

Final cut pro

I used final cut pro in order to edit and compose my trailer. It allowed me to add on sound effects, music, dialogue and add/cut in between scenes with transitions such as fade in fade out.

Photoshop

Photoshop was used for the ancillary task which was to create a film poster as well as a magazine front cover. I am familiar with this software however in order to create a unique poster to stand out I watched tutorials on YouTube as well as searching on the internet for steps.

Video camera and tape

The video camera enabled me to film for my trailer in high quality, therefore giving it a professional look as a finish. This was all recorded onto the tape, where the footage is transferred onto the Mac to be edited.

Still camera

This was used to take pictures of the location for the location notes as well as cast notes. The main thing was to get the picture for the ancillary task, therefore this was one of the main purpose for the still camera.

Mac/Mac Book

The Mac was used in order to upload as well as edit the raw footage to my production. Therefore the Mac played a vital role in the production stage of he project. The Macbook was used in order to gain all internet based work as well as typing up. It was also used in order to complete the ancillary task as well as to create the green screen for my trailer, title and credits.

Soundcloud

The Mac was used in order to upload as well as edit the raw footage to my production. Therefore the Mac played a vital role in the production stage of he project. The Macbook was used in order to gain all internet based work as well as typing up.
