1. In what ways did you use new
media technologies in the creation
of your media products?

2. • New technology has had a massive impact on
todays society, if you look back in time the
idea of making a movie it would never have
been thought of or even a possibility.
Technology is forever growing an
expanding, and what you have now will
probably be something completely different in
a few years time

3. • I decided to take advantage of many different
websites that are available and search engines
that play a major role within the creation of
teaser trailers, posters and magazines. On a day
to day basis we tend to take all these features for
granted and forget that without these new
technologies we would not be able to make such
successful teaser trailers, and they would be very
different without these resources.
Youtube, Google and Facebook have millions of
people using them every day so its hard to
imagine the world without them. Its weird to
think that many of these successful websites have
in fact been created within the last 10-15 years in
fact.

5. • Microsoft and apple are both two very leading
and powerful conglomerates that have both
been around since back in the 70’. But only
from the around the 90s had the actually
started to hear about these about as they
began to develop in such a way that made
them highly respected within the technology
industry.

6. • Youtube has been a big and vital part in my
research and planning in particular. With the
click of just a finger I am able to watch every
film trailer and teaser trailer that has ever
been made. On one site I was able to watch as
many film trailers just in my horror genre, I
was then able to go into the sub genre of
psychological horror. This meant I could watch
and re-watch the important parts within the
trailer.

7. • In particular I wanted the ‘House at the end of
the street’ trailer countless times and then
was able to analyze the aspects that I liked
and wanted use as an influence. I was also
able to take screen shots from the videos.
Without YouTube I wouldn’t have been able to
do this.

8. • Websites such as slide share and sound cloud
have also played a role within the
development of my trailer. I used soundcloud
as a resource to look at different types of
music that I would be able to use as there is a
huge variety on their. Slide share was used to
upload files such as power points which I then
imported to my blog.

9. • Blogger is an online website in which people
can then make their own blogs. It is used for a
variety of different reasons such as people
blogging in general or for fashion e.c.t..
• It was launched in 1999, I am able to create a
joining blog if I would want to in order for
them to administrate through the research and
planning stages and development of trailer,
magazine and poster. Blogger enabled me to
amalgmate my influences, ideas, research and
planning.

10. Blogger
• I uploaded images, embedded from YouTube
to create links between websites which I think
imbedded into a prezi. Blogger has been a
huge note pad to me-allowing me to
collaborate every stage whether it was small
or big. Without blogger I would find I
extremely hard to keep track of my progress
and research and would be hard to put
everything in one place like I am able to do
with blogger.

12. Prezi
• Prezi is presentation software which is available
to everyone. I am using the free version however
you are able to pay to become a member. Prezi is
a creative way to create interesting powerpoitns
for pretty much anything and it was launched in
April 2009. I was first introduced to prezi by a
media AS teacher. It helped me to collaborate my
ideas onto one massive ‘canvas’ Prezi allows me
to upload photos and embed videos from
Youtube and can directly be embedded onto my
blog.

13. Filming
• To actually go ahead and make my teaser
trailer, I had to become familiar with Apple
macs as I am not to used to these. Having
already had experience with using video
cameras , I am more confident about filming.
However I still had to remind myself about
how to use Final Cut pro. I didn’t use any new
version as I had already practice abit with the
version I was given and would rather stick to
the knowledge I already had.

14. Transferring data across
• Without the use of USBS I would have most
probably been lost. It enabled me to save and
transfer photos, documents and videos which
is everything I needed for my blog posts. It
made transferring between computers
possible.

15. Editing
• I did all m editing in Final Cut pro. I did abit in
imovie but it is almost to basic and didn’t
allow me to add effects I found final cut pro
very hard at the start as I had little knowledge
in the software but after watching a few
tutorials on www.youtube.com I felt a lot
more confident about it all.

16. Poster and magazine-PHOTOSHOP
• For my photographs I used a canon camera
500D. I used this camera as I cold capture high
quality photographs . I was then able to open
them up into photoshop where I was then
able to then easily edit them for my poster
and magazine cover.

17. Difficulties I had
• Error, error error.. All very extremely irritating
issues that can very quickly annoy and frustrate
you. The error codes where irritating and would
randomly pop up when trying to do something
for example in Final cut pro it would tell me a lot
of the time that my clip length was to long to cut
down. This in fact made no sense as that isn't
possible. These error codes where not helpful in
the slightest when you are in the middle of
editing and it doesn’t even make it clear to you
what the problem is!

18. Technological convergence
• You are able to notice that everything is
accessible on the computer and different
formats such as cameras and video cameras
are compatible with the computer. This is a
technological convergence once upon a time it
wouldn’t have been possible to have al these
different formats accessibly all on one
computer.
