The document describes how various media technologies were used at different stages of the project. Excel, YouTube, and Word were used in the research and planning stage to analyze data and create charts. During construction, Excel, YouTube, Slideshare, Final Cut, Photoshop, Motion, Facebook, GarageBand, a camcorder, and phone camera were used to create and distribute project deliverables. For evaluation, Prezi, Slideshare, PowerPoint, and SoundCloud were used to present answers and evidence to evaluation questions.

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

2. Research and Planning
EXCEL: I used excel to enter my results that I have received from my
questionnaire results. I then converted it into a Jpeg by doing a
screenshot of the chart and this automatically converted it into a Jpeg.
I did this so I am able to upload it on to Word Press. Below is two
examples of two different charts I used.
Step1. I created
this by firstly
writing it out and
highlighting it
Step2. I went
to charts and
had a
selection to
choose from.
Step3. I chose
clustered column. I
then clicked on it
and it created a
table.
Step2. I clicked
on the Pie chart
Step1. I wrote it
out and then
highlighted the
information
Step3.I then chose
it to show the Pie in
3D
This is where I
upload files on
the blog and as
you can see
these are the
formats allowed
by Word Press
Chart
Table

3. Research and Planning
YOUTUBE: I used Youtube to analyse my trailer and for my focus group. I did this
by finding the trailer I wanted to analyse that was of similar genre to my product. I
then took screen shots of the clips I wanted to deeper analyse. This is so I know
what is deemed as conventional in horror films and how I should shoot, edit, music
used and the story line used as well.
Step1. I used
Youtube to find
what I was looking
for my typing it in
the search bar
Step2. I found the trailer I wanted to
find from the results
Step 3. Clicked on the trailer and
now I am able to view it
These are a couple
of the screenshots
I have taken of
Saw

4. Research and Planning
WORD: I used Word for my analysis of posters, magazines and audience profile. Below
is how I used word for my magazine analysis. I did this so I knew how real media products
structure, the main image they used, the wording they use and the image they use.
Step1. I went to
insert, then photo
and imported the
picture I wanted
from the files
Step2. I then went to desktop
and selected the picture from my
files
Step3. This
is the
picture
inserted
onto the
word
document
Step4. I then
clicked on to
text box so I am
able to write
around the
magazine
cover.
Step5. I then clicked lines and
connectors in shapes and chose
an arrow.
This is my analysis
finished.

5. Research and
Planning
PowerPoint: I used Powerpoint to create my anamatic so it can be shown as a running
trailer so I know whether the camera shots work in the sequence or not. Also if the
storyline makes sense.
Step3. I screenshot my
storyboard and imported it
into Powerpoint .
Step2. I found
what I wanted to
import and
pressed insert
Step1. I clicked on
picture

6. Research and Planning
SLIDESHARE: I used Slideshare to import my storyboard to create an anamatic so
other people can view it and tell me if the story and the camera shots work or not.
Also to embed the anamatic on the blog as part of my research and planning
section.
Step1. I pressed upload
Step2. I then
selected the file
I wanted to
upload
Step3. I then was able to add my
title and more description and tags
so more people can find my
presentation
I have now uploaded my
presentation onto slideshare

7. Construction
EXCEL: I again used Excel to put my information that I received from the
questionnaires into charts. I did this to clearly show the audience responses on
whether they agreed or not. This is so I can easily know what they liked and didn’t
like so I know what part to improve on my trailer, magazine and poster.
Step1. I entered the
data into the
spreadsheet
Step2. I then selected
the pie chart
Step4. After this my chart has
been created

8. Construction

Slideshare

10. Construction
FINAL CUT: I used Final Cut to edit my trailer, because I can easily import footage
from the camera on to Final cut. I can easily edit the trailer by cutting one shot and
putting it together with another shot. Also I can edit the music by making it louder
or lower. Furthermore, I can add effects such as fade in or out. Finally I am able to
export it so it can be uploaded on to Youtube.

GARAGEBAND: I used Garageband to create my music for my trailer. After I created
my music I then exported it into a WAV file so it can then be imported into Final Cut.
Step1. I selected music
from here by choosing the
emotion I wanted. I chose
dark and intense after I
have selected the emotion
I then chose the
instrument I wanted to
convey this. I chose a
variety of guitar, piano and
cinematic.
Step2. I
dragged the
music I wanted
into the timeline
Step3. I then went to
share and exported it
Step4. I
then
selected
the type of

20. Construction
CAMCORDER: The camcorder I used is a Canon HV 40. I used a camcorder to
film scenes so I can then edit it and upload on to Youtube and embed on the blog.
I needed a camcorder or else I would of failed to achieve the task that was set of
completing a trailer. This is why I used a camcorder. I used the camcorder to zoom
in, pan, take mid shots, close ups and long shots, as well as over the shoulder
shots.

21. Construction
PHONE CAMERA: I took a picture on my phone for my magazine and poster. I took
a picture of the main character holding the main weapon he used.
Step2. I took a picture on my phone,
emailed the picture to myself and then
downloaded it.
Step3. This is the picture
I used for my magazine
and poster.
Step1. I took the picture
with this phone.

22. Construction
VOICE MEMO: I used voice memo on my phone to record sound. I did this to
record sound of a voice over so I can import into Finalcut and edit. I used voice
memo as it was the easiest way of transferring sound into Final cut.
Step1. I recorded the
sound and then went to
file and share and sent
an email to myself
Step2. This is the voice
memo that I sent to
myself
Step3. This is the voice memo. I
then downloaded the memo.

dragged it into the desktop so I was
able to import the sound into final cut.
Step5. I found the audio that I
wanted to import and imported
it into final cut.
Step6. This is the voice memo on final
cut, ready to import

23. Evaluation
PREZI: I used Prezi to complete my first evaluation question. I used Prezi because
it was easier to import sound from my trailer, and a video of my trailer on the Prezi
as well. This was an effective way of answering the questions so I can clearly
show evidence of how my product has used, developed and challenged real media
products.
To import images and videos
I went to insert and imported
it into Prezi. I then moved
them to a position that can
be seen and that
emphasizes my points.
This is the
Prezi finished
and is fully
answering the
question.

24. Evaluation
SLIDESHARE: I used Slideshare to import my presentation so I can embed into the
blog and present it. By doing this it allows me to share my presentation by placing it
on the blog, Facebook and Twitter. This is why I used Slideshare for my evaluation.
Another reason why I used it, is to answer my evaluation question’s, is because it
fully presents my answer by allowing me to easily show a comparison, such as I
have done in question 2 of the two media products that I have completed. I
wouldn’t be able to do this on another media technology, such as Prezi or
soundcloud. As you wouldn’t see a clear comparison that Slideshare presents.
Step1. I
uploaded my
presentation on
to Slideshare by
going to upload.
Step2. I then
imported my
presentation
Step3. I wrote a
description and title
for my presentation so
people can find it
Step4. My
presentation
has
successfully
uploaded on
to Slideshare
Step5. I can now share
my presentation across
media platforms such as
social networking sites
and the blog

25. Evaluation
POWERPOINT: I used Powerpoint because it is an effective way such as now to
set out my answer. This is because I am able to upload images on to Powerpoint
and use text box to write around the image. Also it is another way of presenting my
evaluation in a multi media format.
Step1. I imported a photo
from my file into Powerpoint
by going to picture from file.
I then selected the image
such as this that I wanted to
insert into my Powerpoint. Step2. I then used text box to write around
the image so I can describe what I am
doing at each stage.
This is the Powerpoint finished I will now upload it on to Slideshare so it can be
viewed on multiple sites.

26. Evaluation
SOUNDCLOUD: I used Soundcloud to record my voice to answer question 3. I
used Soundcloud as I can record sound on the website or app and upload it to
social networking sites and embed on to the blog. I used Soundcloud to answer
question 3 because I was able to explain in more depth then I would have on a
Powerpoint or Prezi. This is because I am able to explain it in different stages
what I have found from my audience research. Also it is another media platform
to use to answer my evaluation questions.
Step1. I recorded
my voice on the
Slideshare app
Step2. I then saved
my evaluation
question on to
Soundcloud.
Step3. This is most of question 3 answered
using Soundcloud
