Planning and Research

Media Technologies Used

• Blogger

Research

• YouTube & Google: Google was used for direct searches, such as information/examples/summaries/ideas. YouTube used for video and audio information e.g. videos other people have made to gather inspiration from/videos relating around your genre/how to guides/sound effects that aren't the default ones.

Planning • Blogger: Blogger has been used a lot in the

time we have been here, it is an easier way to keep track of what work we have done, what work we need to do, and what our work will look like to an examiner. Blogger keeps track of what we post this enables us to see how our work has evolved throughout the initial introduction stage right up to the finish product. Bloggers’ format allows us to embed pictures and videos that we may have found from Google & YouTube

Planning• Microsoft Word and PowerPoint have been used to

plan and produce work because they are reliable programmes, industry standard and are incredibly easy to use. We’ve been learning to use these since we were children so it only makes sense to use them.

• I have used Word to produce work that involves large amount of text in continuous pros e.g. Essays, Word has a nice user interface that helps people navigate better.

• PowerPoint has been used because it is one of the most dynamic presentation tools in our arsenal. It is great for showing showcase simple material and information, but can also be used for full presentations/evaluations.
