Question Four

BloggerO This has been very useful as it has

acted like an online diary. It has allowed me present all my ideas.

O It allowed me to keep all my work organised by congregating all my coursework on to one blog.

O It also allowed me to use different technology formats in my work, therefore making my work more varied.

Microsoft PowerPoint O This technology has allowed me to

present my work in a different format.

O It allowed me to not make my work to wordy, it was straight to the point.

O I could make my work more visual by the use of colours, fonts and by being able to add images too.

SlideshareO We used this programme in order to

upload our PowerPoint presentations to our blogs.

O It allowed us to upload our pitch, research and any other ideas.

O It presented our work clearly and make our work more visually appealing.

PreziO I used this technology to create my

audience profile.O As this piece of work required a lot of

information, Prezi allowed me to present this visually and clearly.

O It also enabled me to embed videos and pictures to help me describe my target audience in more detail.

FacebookO I used Facebook in order to gather

audience feedback on our music video storyboard.

O It allowed us to gain “likes” which showed that people thought our storyboard was good.

O This technology is a good way of gaining feedback as it allows you target your audience directly.

YouTubeO Our group used YouTube to contact

our chosen artist, to ask her permission to use her song for our music video.

O I also used YouTube when researching other music videos that were a similar genre to that of our artist.

Final Cut ExpressO We used this programme to edit our

music video. O This allowed us to edit the video very

precisely, however because of this, it did take us a long time to edit the video, which made us behind schedule.

O Although it took us a long time to edit, it was worth it as the music video does look professional.

Video CameraO In order to make a good quality music

video, it was imperative that we had the use of a good video camera.

O By having a good video camera this allowed us to use different effects and recorded images to achieve an overall good music video.

O Whilst filming, we found that the use of the camera allowed us to be experimental to get good shots.

Adobe PhotoshopO I used Photoshop to create my print

products. O It allowed me to create professional

and aesthetically pleasing designs.O This programme was beneficial to

me as the products I created looked realistic and it allowed to create a house style on both my print products.

Microsoft Outlook Calendar

O I used the calendar on my college email in order to manage my time.

O I used it to remind of things that needed to be done that month and any important deadlines.

O However due to their being a problem with the who would be the performer, this put us behind schedule and therefore I didn’t stick to my time management. But it was useful as a rough guide.
