The document discusses using different media technologies at various stages of a project including research, planning, construction, and evaluation. Technologies mentioned include using surveys, scanning paper storyboards, Microsoft Powerpoint and Word for planning, Final Cut Pro for video editing, Photoshop for designing, sourcing fonts, using hardware with cameras, uploading Powerpoints to blogs, and using YouTube to upload video extracts. It notes that while digital technologies can be useful, important data can also be lost so reliability is not guaranteed.

3. Planning Although our storyboards were
initially produced by hand on
paper, we were able to transfer
these drawings to the computer
and put them onto our blogs
using a flatbed scanner. We
have incorporated media
technologies into helping us
document all of our work –

Powerpoint and Word
when planning our
product was useful
because of its easy ability
to alter any mistakes you
make. When
planning, we changed
our ideas several times so
being able to delete parts
instantly was
exceptionally helpful.
4. Construction
Final Cut Pro – to
actually edit our video

As previously stated, using
digital technologies can be
very useful and time efficient.

5. Evaluation
To upload powerpoints and embed I have found Powerpoint and
them on my blog. Without using Word to be some of the most

able to refer back to posts I
have already done and
collate them in one

Blogger has helped me to
